New Winter Version Online!

2010-11-18T14:37:00.006+01:00

With Winter coming, Intellysurf launches a new version of its YouRiding SNOWBOARDING and YouRiding FREESKIING, online games, offering you a new control of the character and additional possibilities of ride.

Firstly, developers have worked out a new gameplay allowing an optimal control of the character during the preparation and the execution of jumps and tricks.

Secondly, in order to bring always more realism and fun to its games, we now give you the possibility to slide on snowparks elements with the new arrival of jibs.

Finally, to fully take advantage of these new features, a new Freeride of 20 slopes split by level of difficulty was created. Canada, United States, Europe or Asia will become within the reach of boots!

Have fun and NEVER STOP RIDING!

Winter Novelties

2010-09-14T15:04:00.011+02:00

For the winter, Intellysurf launches a new version on YouRiding of the Snowboarding and Free skiing game.

We shall discover a new gameplay, a better control of the character by choosing its direction during the preparation of a jump.

So, we don't prepare any more tricks in advance, but once in the air after having jumped.

A more intuitive innovation for the players. Other novelty, the integration of rails. This awaited change by the players gives the possibility to ride on elements of decoration, making figure by entering and by going out of the rail. YouRiding always slide more on the card of the realism.

To take advantage of these innovations, Intellysurf finalized a new Freeride with the 20 slopes. Stay Tuned...

The French Freeride Mode

2010-08-04T09:25:00.027+02:00

For each rider, surfing, bodyboarding, snowboarding or free skiing is a 24/7 passion which can lead us to wake up before sunrise searching for the perfect uncrowded session and traveling around the world to ride those legendary breaks or mountains covered in magazines.

Now, it's possible to ride amazing waves and slopes, whenever you are.

During this summer, the "Freeride" game mode on Youriding puts spotlight on the best french waves.

Last May, YouRiding translates its game in French. To focus on this frenchy side, we made in the FreeRide mode, only french waves. Players are now able to ride freely in paddling or tow-in waves such as the WQS 6 STAR wave of Lacanau in Gironde, Les Cavaliers in Anglet or l'Hermitage Left in the Reunion island...

If you wonder how to surf even if summer ends, go on YouRiding.com, the Basque coast, Landes, Brittany, the Mediterranean Sea, Guadeloupe, Tahiti and the most amazing waves of France are waiting for you.

Never Stop Riding.

YouRiding shows up on iPhone

2010-07-28T17:53:00.002+02:00

We've been waiting for an opportunity of doing it for a long time, today we're finally on it, working on a new 3d engine for our waves!

To go a little more into details, the team is actively preparing to launch surfing and bodyboarding iPhone apps, in their upcoming 3d version of course.

To arouse your curiosity, we even added a technical layout that gives an idea of how hollow the waves are going to be.

Once this stuff approved, our artists and devs are going to take care of the water texture to make it look more solid and heavy.

There is still way enough time to get your hands on an iPhone in order to NEVER STOP RIDING.

It's worth keeping an eye on! Stay alert...
