This game has big-time replayability.I've been playing this since like 2001.The moves are real but the height you can reach is exaggerated just enough to make it a good video game.The boards are pretty big and the game is set up for you to explore the entire level.The unlockable videos are pretty cool.I love the fact that I can listen to my own music while playing.My college roommate had the garbage PS2 version which had fewer boards and no personalized music.He would always ask to play my Xbox version. This was better than BMX XXX because the graphics are more realistic and the size and scale is more consistent.The replay feature with the different camera angles gives you lots of control.I found Dave Mirra's time limits to be much more practical than BMX XXX's health limits, with certain objectives that require time.Dave Mirra gives you 3 min to do as much as you can.Finish the amateur challenges, then you get the pros, then the extreme, then the insane. The gaps take a w! hile to find, but that's kinda good because it makes you explore the map more. There are very few problems with this game.There will be seldom glitches when your rider will get stuck behind a wall. I find myself playing this game just to listen to my music.

Wattle_and_daub


Daub and wattle are building materials used in constructing houses. A woven latticework of wooden stakes called ''wattles'' is daubed with a mixture of mud and clay, animal dung and straw to create a structure. It is normally whitewashed to increase its resistance to rain. Examples of buildings which use wattle and daub can still be found in many parts of the world. In Half-timbered construction|half-timbered buildings, the wattle and daub is contained between wooden beams. This usually gives the building a black and white appearance when the daub is whitewashed, or brown and white, if it is not.The wattle and daub technique was used already in the Neolithic. It was common for houses of the Linearbandkeramic and R?ssen cultures of Central Europe, but is found in Western Asia as well (?atalh?y?k, Shillourokambos).This process is similar in modern architecture to lath and plaster, a common building material for wall surfaces, in which a series of wooden strips were covered w! ith a semi-dry plaster and then hardened into a flat surface. (This building method has itself been overtaken by drywall.)
