About Stoked Rider:

Stoked Rider ft Tommy Brunner is the very first game focusing on the freeride aspect of snowboarding. Historically the game appeared first in 1999 when the creators of the Stoked Rider games, Bongfish Interactive Entertainment, are busy producing a new media marketing campaign for FLOW snowboards. As part of the campaign they co-develop a small ad-game together with French freeware-legend, Alain Villaume. Incredibly positive responses from gamers worldwide motivate Bongfish to continue the franchise, now under the guise of 'Stoked Rider'. Between 2001 & 2002 a series of freeware updates are released; 500,000 downloads later the team feels confident enough to begin development of Stoked Rider featuring Tommy Brunner, their first commercial project. In 2003 an international team of snowboarders and game developers begin to handcraft the very first freeriding game.
