In response to a user question on Steam, they said this:
We're planning to support Mac & Linux just like we did with Action Henk!
We really don't have anything like this in Linux currently, so I'm pretty excited about this one. I'm pretty terrible at all racing games and the speed you're going at in the trailer is insane, might make for some real hairy moments. I wonder how many times I'm going to firmly plant my face into a tree? Hopefully we'll find out soon as it releases sometime this year, they're giving an "Early 2018" date with nothing more solid right now.
About the game:
- Procedurally generated worlds: Take on different jumps, slopes and hillbombs every time you play
- Freestyle bike controls: Control every subtle movement of your rider, with an in-depth physics system made for slick whips and scrubs
- Risk vs reward: Push your rider for massive scores and combos -- but bail too many times and you might lose it all
- Build your Rep: A fully-featured online Rep system lets you show off your worth, and earn new bikes and threads
- Become the next Descender: Can you survive the game in a single run, and reach the ranks of the legendary Descenders?

hmm, i have seen very similar game somewhere before with a different name. the forest sections in the trailer seem like copy-paste from the other one. Or maybe its the same game with different name now?

I will probably buy pretty much anything bike related... but I just wished it had more to do with the grand tours or even some cycle touring sandbox xD
the video seems like good fun though ^^

I think they both look good, MTB Freeride more realistic and slow, Descenders faster and more arcade style. Jumping over the train looked like fun!
