Cranked Update - April 28, 2026
New Stuff
Brand new multiplayer mode
Fast Times — our first multiplayer mode. You get 15 minutes to lay down your fastest time on a featured trail. When the timer runs out, the leaderboard locks in and the lobby votes on the next trail. Rinse and repeat.
New Trails:
- Jammer Drop — brand new trail with racing
- One Armed Scissor Lower — brand new flow trail in Lakeside Zone
- Multiple new trails in Zone 2.5 (front left corner of the map when looking up the mountain)
Water physics (phase 1)
- Water now reacts when you crash into it
- Ragdoll floats after drowning — at least you go out gracefully
Camera
- Lookback camera — see what's behind you. Default bind: Y on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation, B on keyboard
Drone
- You can now enter drone mode while crashed — no waiting for respawn
Improvements
- Remote players and their bikes now fade out as they get close to you — no more being inside of other players' faces
- Arcade drone roll is smoother
- Environmental improvements — refreshed post-processing, terrain textures, and tree materials; backdrop mountain reworked and the sun no longer renders in the sky
- Improved shaders on the bike and rider
- Big Dipper adjustments:
- Widened the gates on scrub hill
- Added a wall ride at the end
Bug Fixes
- Fixed race interaction triggering while in drone mode
- Placed ramps no longer allowed during races
- Fixed marker placement from the bike on inclines ignoring overlapping colliders
- Fixed overlap between drone HUD and race UI
- Fixed broken zone challenges
- Fixed double main-menu load when changing maps while connected to a multiplayer server
- Fixed resolution getting stuck at 640x480
- Bike switching now disabled while chat or the dev console is open

how do i update the version
Best way is to download the Itch app and it will keep it updated for you.
Hey I just got cranked recently I really like it. Please add a ghost for your good times and less turning in the air and bike suspension tuning, thanks.
We will add ghosts for practice or watching replays but not for racing. Ghosts kill the suspense of racing against split times. Air physics will get redone at some point. Probably won’t do custom suspension tuning because I prefer when everyone is on the same setup, but we’ll see what happens.
