About MTV Sports - T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX

MTV Sports - T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX hit the Game Boy Color in 2001, landing in both US and European markets. Published by THQ and developed by HotGen, this is a licensed sports title that brings real-world pro BMX riders into the palm of your hand. It's part of the larger MTV Sports line, which tried to capture the extreme sports craze of the late '90s and early 2000s on handheld consoles. You pick one of ten professional BMX riders and compete across three disciplines: dirt jumping, vert ramps, and street riding. Each event challenges you to pull off tricks, maintain speed, and beat the competition. The core loop involves timing your jumps, selecting the right trick from a limited moveset, and landing cleanly to keep your momentum. There are different modes, including a single race, a full championship, and a practice session to get the hang of the controls. The link cable also supports two-player head-to-head matches. It's a solid entry in the GBC sports library, especially if you're into old-school extreme sports games. The graphics are colorful and detailed for the system, and the rider selection gives it some replay value. That said, it's not as deep as later BMX games on more powerful consoles, so it's best appreciated as a quick pick-up-and-play arcade racer. If you liked the Tony Hawk games on Game Boy Color or the Dave Mirra titles, this one fits right in, though it's a bit more niche.

How to play MTV Sports - T.J. Lavin's Ultimate BMX online

Getting Started

When you start the game, you'll see a title screen. Press Enter to proceed, then choose your game mode. The main options are Single Event, Championship, and Practice. For your first try, jump into Practice to learn the basic controls. In this game, you control a BMX rider on various tracks. The D-Pad steers your rider left or right and influences your line on dirt jumps or ramps. The A button (X key) makes you jump, and the B button (S key) is used for tricks while in the air. Timing is crucial - hold a direction on the D-Pad and press the trick button to perform specific moves.

In Championship mode, you play through several events across the three disciplines. Each event ranks you based on your trick score and overall time. The goal is to place high enough to advance. Pay attention to the HUD, which shows your current speed, trick multiplier, and race position. Successful tricks fill a boost meter, giving you a speed advantage. But be careful - crashing wipes your momentum and costs precious seconds. The multiplayer mode works with a link cable and a second cartridge, letting you race or compete in trick competitions with a friend.
