Day Two: Duel AKA Rad Ramp Racer for the Commodore 64, from 1990.
Here we have the classic BMX vs Skateboard battle. Is it a bare knuckled fight to the finish like the duel scene in Thrashin’? Stay tuned to find out. Man I wish I could see a closeup of that video cover. Does anyone recognize the picture?

When software came out on cassette tapes and took 15 minutes to load!
Behold Rad Ramp Racer!
Or, Duel, if you prefer. The game was published under two different names.
Not really a duel at all, just a side by side race. How disappointing!
Duel has a different color scheme. I’d say a skateboard is at a distinct disadvantage in the grass.
Ouch! He slammed!
So this would be the slam section in the video. Slalom in 1990? I’m not sure how you slam on flatground slalom.
More hot, 8 bit slalom action.
Barrel jumping? What is this 1972?
No great surprise that the BMX bike is faster than a skateboard.
Extra bonus slam footy after the credits.
