Another track makes use of four golf carts that are placed in hard-to-find areas, so not only do you use up valuable time just trying to find the golf carts, but you also use up even more valuable seconds actually trying to jump over them. The loading dock stage tells you to grind the tops of four garage doors in order to open them - it sounds easy enough, but each garage door is positioned at an odd angle with a railing that can interfere with the timing of your jump. After you complete the first three sets of amateur objectives for three individual tracks, you must complete the professional objectives for each track, and, needless to say, these can be rather difficult. On one stage, you may have to execute only a basic back flip while racing over a hill or grind a specific rail, but other stages require you to perform tasks like shutting cabin doors by jumping into them. The first set of amateur objectives is relatively easy to complete overall, the game has a wide variety of objectives.

Freestyle BMX not only looks similar to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but it also plays very much like it. The question of whether or not the PC audience is receptive to the extreme sports genre still remains unanswered, since only a few of the games are actually worth playing - but Acclaim is hoping that it can capitalize on the amount of attention that the subgenre is receiving with its upcoming extreme sports game, Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX.
With the success of the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series on various consoles and the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the PC, publishers and developers are now beginning to target the PC for their extreme sports games.
