172 - Dave Mirra: Freestyle BMX 2 (PS2)

This week we power-skid onto the scene with a throwback from the era of Extreme Sports Games! But they can't ALL be Tony Hawk. Instead, we look at the BMX competitor to Acclaim's reign with Dave Mirra: Freestyle BMX 2. "Why didn't we do Matt Hoffman: Pro BMX?" you may ask. That's a GREAT question. And for answers we turn to friend of the show Ramona for their take on what made this game special. Before taking to the ramps, we talk about The White Lotus, The Suicide Squad, and consider which Extreme Sports games the world still needs. Plus: is Mikey a "Gameinizer?"
