Mad Skills Motocross Blitz, a free universal mini game based on the highly successful iOS game Mad Skills Motocross, is now available for download on the iTunes App Store worldwide.

It contains six new tracks that are unavailable anywhere else, including a challenging course called Nitro Circuit – an obvious nod to the gang in the Nitro Circus.

“We wanted to come up with a free game that would not only appeal to new users, but also to our most hard-core players,” said Racer X’s Bryan Stealey.

“The new tracks in Blitz are smooth enough for beginners to learn the game, but they’re also a blast for our long-time users. Every track in Blitz is completely new and exclusive.”

Also new in Mad Skills Motocross Blitz, as well as in the full-game update that was also released today, is an innovative ‘play up’ feature.

When players finish a level, they’re presented with their position on the global OpenFeint leaderboard for that track, as well as the option to instantly race against a time that is slightly better than his or her best time.

It’s a great way to keep players engaged in the game while at the same time improving their skills.

Mad Skills Motocross Blitz is available on the iTunes App Store now for free and is compatible with the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
