    Just got this game, NO3N seems to share my opinion on games most of the times so I bought it...anddddddd



    I LOVE it, seriously, I like bike and racing games, and this one is ear the top. I though it was going to be super short, and easy...but this game is harddddd, I'm stuck on the shark jumps right now. I love the upgrade system and everything about this game is great. The graphics might be my favorite part

    Anyone else feel that the final jumps are MUCH harder to complete than any other jumps? There's barely any room for mistake before you fall off.

    Where is good place to wheelie? I can't pass the wheelie for 2 seconds goal/challenge.

    Landing jumps definitely gets harder as you move through the levels. And the strength stat only seems to help a little - mostly about how you position the bike in the landing.

    Great game.

    Anyone else having issues with game centre? My times don't seem to be updating consistently.
    On first boot,they seem to update fine.But if i try to beat the time again on the same level,it doesn't update my improved times.

    Done all the usual,reset etc.And all other games are working fine with game centre (Ipad Air ios8).

    It definitely starts off slower and there's a lot less tracks to tackle, but I'd say it's my favorite bike game on the App Store, bar none.

    Just picked this up and my goodness is it amazing. I still have bike baron on my phone but this is something entirely transcendental.

    On a side note, does anyone know how to unlock the "Do it again" helmet where it describes "recreate the introduction"?

    Evel Knievel got an update today...

    What's New in Version 1.0.8
    - Super Strength Feature
    - Retry Final Jump Feature
    - Various Tweaks and Improvements

    My 2 cents - I was hoping for some new tracks, but I'll take any updates I can get. Still enjoying this game a lot. The new file name is now Evel Knievel Free 1.0.8, I don't remember if this game had any in-app purchases before.

    Hell Yeah! I thought we'd never see another update. I'll take new features! I'm going to give them a good play through later today. I hope we will get new tracks too eventually. I love this game so much!

    Yeah, I just picked this one up for free.. Not sure if it is on sale, or if it went FTP.. Either way, glad to be able to give it a try.

    I don't think it contained iap previously and suspect it is now free to p(l)ay. I don't know how this affects the game just yet. I do hope this new marketing strategy does well for the devs though because it really is a good game.

    Edit: The ftp mechanics are very fair. There are now optional ads to watch for cash and continues but no forced ads whatsoever. I'd generally insta delete any game with unfair or excessive ftp mechanics but this isn't one of them.

    It's basically still the exact same Premium game but now you have a choice of watching an ad for rewards if you choose.

    I'm having trouble completing the "Make Evel bounce 3 times after a single crash" mission. I've tried having fans blow me around, hitting several surfaces. Also being bounced by the yellow spring surface multiple times. How do you do this mission, or is it a bug?

    Experiencing some GC sync issues as well, I've unlocked around 7 helmets that don't have the corresponding achievement unlocked.

    Edit: I could be wrong with 1 or 2, but it looks like all the achievements that have unlocked successfully are the kind where your progress towards it is shown. Thought that might be helpful info to find what's going wrong with the others.

    After completing all the jumps, the lady asked if I could get all gold trophies or earn enough to buy the Stratocycle. But since the game has gone free, is spending $14 the only way to unlock that bike?

    As a Canadian, I'm slightly offended that the snow theme was used for the Toronto jump in August, instead of the Ontario Speedway jump in February, haha. Luckily for Evel, it wasn't snowy that day either based on the footage. I guess he wasn't totally crazy after all!
