Usually allows leaning forward and backward, spinning in air (and possibly landing upside down because of it), etc. Usually played solo against clock, but that's not required.
Commonly extremely similar freestyle motocross/BMX or motorcycle/mountain bike trials, but this can be with imaginary/surreal vehicles too or without any pretense of sports, and trials sports does not imply the emphasis on physics (though it's likely).
