Jump over kickers, pass through gates, race as fast as you can or grind whatever obstacle is on your way! Make sure you collect the power-ups to get an extra boost, trick bonus or cash.

### 5/5 — WE NEED an update for this game with iOS 11, soon.

*2020-11-09*

Hi, the first time I played this game was around when I was in middle school, I used to look forward to playing it everyday when I would get off of school, it was one of the most addictive games I’ve ever played. It was similar to other games I used to play back on the PlayStation 2 that had anything that included the concept of extreme sports and “SnowBoard Hero” is one of them. 

The graphics are great and looked amazingly awesome, the quality is great too! I love these characters, they are all unique in their own ways, the tracks are cool, and the soundtrack is awesome. The game is CHALLENGING WHICH is the best point for any gamer experience. Earlier I was planning to get this game since it was so much nostalgia since I used to play it back then. Now, I need to play it again, though, PLEASE UPDATE SOON, and let us know soon, developer. 

Last,THANKS for you, your team and crew of developers for bringing back EXTREME, to the gaming universe! -Rainy
