Free-to-play longboard racer Downhill Xtreme has just rolled onto the App Store.

It's immediately clear which audience Distinctive Developments - responsible for the Silver Award-winning My Army and Hockey Nations 2011 - is pitching its gravity-powered road racer at.

Youthful competitors in jean shorts? Check. Reckless disregard for personal safety? Check. Unrelenting skate punk soundtrack? You'd better believe it.

The races are tilt-controlled affairs, which see you rocketing downhill at an alarming pace, dodging obstacles and fending off other races as you go.

Chairman of the board

If you're a proper deck-head, you'll find plenty of custom boards and wheels to pique your interest, while less hardcore players can focus on tinkering with their avatar's hairstyle.

Then, once you've crossed the finish line, Game Center and Facebook integration means the whole world can learn of your four-wheeled mastery.

You can pick up Downhill Xtreme from the App Store on iPhone and iPad for free now. Check out the trailer below before you zoom over there, though.
