Touchgrind BMX brings the thrill of extreme sports to mobile with a unique two-finger control scheme. Ride through locations like Vertigo and Grizzly Trail, performing insane trick combos to rank up and earn trophies. The game features fully customizable bikes, realistic audio, and physics-driven gameplay that rewards skill and imagination.

Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

89/100

Touchgrind BMX revolutionized mobile extreme sports with its 'two-finger' control system, and it remains one of the most satisfying ways to perform stunts on a phone. By placing two fingers on the bike—representing your hands—you can flick, rotate, and spin the BMX through the air to perform complex tricks like tailwhips and backflips. It takes a little while to master, but once you get the hang of it, the level of control is unparalleled.

The game features diverse environments, from rooftops to forest trails, each with its own set of challenges and trophies. The physics are the real star, feeling heavy and realistic, which makes successfully landing a massive combo feel like a genuine achievement. With fully customizable bikes and a deep ranking system, there is plenty of motivation to keep practicing your lines. It’s a pure skill-based game that rewards patience and precision, making it a must-have for any sports fan.

The in app purchases are too far
Thu Dec 23 2021 JDT7795

I have loved this game since i was a bit younger and still do. The only issue i have with this game is the inability to “grind” and gain new scenes and maps without purchasing them. Now the only map you can play without purchase is the docks witch is also the starter map. For an older game the graphics and physics are great but the forced purchases are too far. I still suggest this game its good fun.

Challenging and Fun

I’ve been playing this game for years and it still is fun. If you don’t care for aged graphics and the occasional bug or oddity within the game- say, crashing your bike at the edges of rocks that you are close to but didn’t really touch- then the gameplay still holds up. It is a great game if you like to challenge yourself and chase big scores like I do. The maps are short but well designed and the medals/adrenaline points always give you something to work towards. As you become more familiar with the controls and are able to execute increasingly complicated tricks, the game becomes even more rewarding. But beware- you do have to pay 6$ for full access, the game can be a bit tricky and unforgiving for some tricks, and it shows its age. I don’t usually leave reviews, but I wish this game had a better star rating because it is really fun if you are looking for this kind of experience, but it’s definitely not for everyone. But if you’d like to try, which I’d recommend, then you can always play through the first map for free- but be patient as the controls are a bit awkward at first but become natural with practice. Regards, -Speck :)

Now the new version of this game (BMX 2) is great, but that doesn’t excuse the horrid bugs this game has. The bike won’t turn even when swiped, the crash mechanics are WAY too sensitive, and the off course reset is also really sensitive. I was at a 6x level when the bike got stuck in a strange position and didn’t move, and when it did, a small part of a rock barely touched the wheel, which crashed it. The off course reset (when it goes white) will also pick up on the bike going the slightest bit off by flips, and will reset to a position where I lost my chance at a multiplier. The tutorial videos aren’t helpful either

I like it but...

The game is fun, but designers, please but the option to mute all of the sound so that I can listen to music, and not hear the sound effects of the bike! I would always rather listening to my OWN music, and not your music/sound effects. Otherwise the game is great, and is very calming! The other thing is please make it easier to get to higher levels because I’m stuck in Tokyo, and I’m having trouble doing your challenges.

Why... just why

The newer version is better than this because it has better controls and this one has the most probs because it won’t let me control the bike and the missions are too hard and at least just make the game a little more detailed.

Very good game gives you god powers and gives you the power to make bikes with your mind. Warning play at your own risk. Playing may give you extreme dihareea, may also give you a dog and make the dog go in a killing state over all I recommend this game.

i dont like this game
Thu Mar 30 2023 Teloa jonasss

First things first is that i played this game for a solid 30 minutes, and not 1 out of those 30 minites were fun. Secondly is that the controls are wonky, (Even though its a mobile game) the graphics are not good, and you dont have someone to play as. And lastly is though even, if all of these traits were good, the developers could have done a better job, and Not STEAL THE ENTURE GAME IDEA FROM ANOTHER GAME.
