What it is
TrickStyle is a futuristic air-racing game from Criterion Games, released in 1999. Players choose a racer and hoverboard, then compete across 18 tracks staged from the Velodrome. The courses span three continents and challenge players to avoid buildings, pass through narrow routes, dive beneath bridges and clear fences while heading for the finish. Races also include champion boss opponents; victory unlocks new hoverboards. Tricks, spins and jumps are part of the riding, alongside a techno soundtrack and sound effects. The Steam listing includes single-player and multiplayer, PvP, shared-screen modes and full controller support. Remote Play Together, Steam Cloud, Steam Trading Cards and Family Sharing are also listed. TrickStyle is available for Windows.
