Right, so basically, we're playing B.I.K.E. but with a Farkin.net twist. If you don't know how to play, it's simple, someone takes a video of themselves doing a trick and posts it on youtube or similar. You then either do the same trick within a given timeframe and post a video of it, or you take a letter. Once you have the four letters that spell B.I.K.E. you're out of the game. Once the first player has set a trick and the second has responded or agreed to take a letter, the second player takes a turn at setting trick and the game continues.
How do I start a game?
Easy, you start a new thread in this forum and call for challengers. Note - Thread titles MUST include the following details;
- 20" or 26" Game
- Beginner, Intermediate or Expert/Madcore/Totally scene/Emo Jeans divisions.
- Terrain the game will be played on; typically street, park, dirt or a combination thereof.
- Forum name of the thread starter and the name of the challenger once they're agreed upon.
For Example; 20", Expert, Street and Park, Ryan vs bmx
If you cannot follow these simple rules for starting a new thread, your thread will be deleted and I may even ban you depending on what kind of mood I'm in. You've been warned.
How many players to a game
For now, we're limiting it to 1 on 1 individual games or 2 on 2 team games. We may expand this in the future as people get used to the format. Again; follow rules else Ryan deletes thread etc.
How long to respond to a trick / set a new one?
5 days. If you do not respond in this time you automatically take a letter, no exceptions.
Are substitute tricks allowed?
If your bike setup means that you can't exactly duplicate the trick that has been set for you, for example, if you're playing a rider with pegs and you roll pegless, you may attempt a substitute trick that replicates the set trick as closely as possible. For example, if you're set a double-peg grind, you may substitute a double-dropout grind instead. All substitutes are to be agreed on before videos are posted.
How do you prove that it's really you setting / doing a trick (OMGZOR I SET A 360-BACKFLIP-540-TAILTAP-TO-BARSPIN RAWWRRRR!!)
Either hold up a sign to the camera saying "Ryan - Farkin BIKE - Feeble to 180 out" or say something similar to the camera before attempting the trick.
Any sketchy / not quite there tricks get referred to the peanut gallery for judging, that is, anyone reading the thread can chime in on whether or not they think your attempt should be counted. If you don't want people commenting on your sketchy-arse tricks, name someone a judge from the outset and include their name in the thread title.
Any other questions, please post them in this thread, this game is a work in progress and we will continue to update the rules as we go to make it more enjoyable and easier for everyone playing.
