Controls

Movement

Use the arrow keys to balance and accelerate your motorcycle:

  • Up Arrow - Accelerate / Lean forward
  • Down Arrow - Brake / Lean back
  • Left/Right Arrows - Balance and rotate

Terrain Tips

The steeper the chart, the harder the ride. Big price jumps become steep climbs, and market crashes create dangerous drops.

Recommended Tickers

For Beginners (Easy)

  • SPY - S&P 500 ETF, smoother broader market ride
  • AAPL - Apple, medium volatility with fun movements

For Experienced Riders (Hard)

  • TSLA - Tesla, dramatic swings and wild slopes
  • NVDA - NVIDIA, sharp AI-driven moves
  • META - Meta Platforms, fast movements
  • BTC-USD - Bitcoin, crypto volatility

For Experts (Insane)

  • GME - GameStop, meme stock chaos
  • AMC - AMC Entertainment, extreme volatility
  • ENRN - Enron, legendary crash track
  • LEH - Lehman Brothers, historic collapse

Pro Tips

  • Start with shorter time ranges (1 day, 1 week) for quicker rides
  • Longer ranges (1 year, 5 years) create more complex terrain
  • Crypto charts (BTC-USD, ETH-USD) often have the wildest rides
  • Bankrupt stocks (ENRN, LEH) offer legendary crash tracks
  • Balance is key - don't accelerate too much on steep climbs
