There are three options available at the main menu: single player, multiplayer and an options menu that allows players to modify gameplay elements such as difficulty and view unlocked items achieved during gameplay.

Initially, the player is introduced to six fictional racers displayed at the top of a mountain once single player mode is selected from the main menu of the game.

By pressing the select button over an unlocked racer, additional info of the racer will be displayed, and by pressing the select button over a locked character which is represented by a statue, valuable info on how to unlock, the same will be displayed as a specific career to finish.

In addition to two other fictional racers, players can also unlock real-life professional racers like Eric Carter, Tara Llanes, Brian Lopes, Richie Schley and Missy Giove when specific tournaments are finished during gameplay.

A bike shop with several unlockable items to purchase is available but is only accessible in one player mode.
