History
Bike or Die! has had several major updates since it was first released on July 12, 2004. The 1.4 update, released in October 2006, included several new features such as the updraft and ghost bike. The 2.0 update, though while optional to continue playing, contained many new 3D effects and upgraded graphics.
The Hall of Fame competitions started with only twenty-five levels, which were built into Bike or Die!. After people began to redistribute their levels on the internet, levels by players slowly began to be added to the Hall of Fame, starting in September 2004. By March 2005, several hundred levels were available, so instead of using levelpacks made by a single person, compilation packs with levels made by several designers became a standard. However, this trend was not entirely true, as the thirteenth levelpack, BikeForce was primarily created by the user PiNerd.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
