About Dirt Bike 2
The hillside looks quite manageable until the front wheel reaches it. Dirt Bike 2 puts a yellow motorcycle on a rocky track and leaves you to deal with the angle. Holding the accelerator is easy. Getting the bike over a steep face without tipping the rider off is the interesting part. The wooded backdrop gives the course a pleasant outdoor setting, but the bumps in front of the wheels deserve most of your attention.
Use speed to get somewhere, rather than treating it as the answer to every obstacle. A little room before a climb can help; too much throttle as the bike reaches the top can send it into a very awkward landing. The left and right arrows let you adjust its balance. Make a small correction, watch what the wheels do and then decide whether another is needed. A timer, score and progress marker sit beneath the course. They give you something to improve once you can finish the route, though learning a difficult section may take a few untidy attempts first.
How to play Dirt Bike 2
Reach the end of the obstacle course while keeping the rider on the motorcycle.
- Choose Play from the original Dirt Bike 2 menu. Let the first course appear before using the controls.
- Use Up to accelerate. Use Down when you need to brake or reverse rather than continuing into a poor approach.
- Adjust the bike with Left and Right as the slope changes. Watch the wheels as well as the rider’s position.
- Approach a steep rise with enough momentum to climb it, then ease off if the bike starts tipping too far.
- Work towards the end of the course. After a crash, use the game’s retry option and change the part of the approach that went wrong.

Tips for a better round
- Leave some room for a run-up when a climb needs it. Starting with the front wheel pressed against a steep face makes the approach harder to judge.
- Do not keep correcting after the bike is already level. An extra lean at the wrong moment can undo a good landing.
- Try changing one thing after a crash: the speed on approach or the balance correction. Changing everything at once makes the previous attempt less useful.
Questions about Dirt Bike 2
Is this a race against other riders?
The challenge is the obstacle course and your control of the bike. Concentrate on finishing the route and keeping the rider upright.
Does the game use the mouse to steer?
The riding controls use the keyboard’s arrow keys. The mouse is for menu choices.
What should I do when the bike keeps flipping?
Reduce the speed at the troublesome section and use smaller balance corrections. Check the approach before repeating the attempt.
