Great Game, 4 September 2003
Author: alex from london
I brought this game on Xbox because I couldn't get it in New Zealand on Gamecube and I heard that PS2 cut bits out of it, boo. but this game is the best sport games ever, up there with tony hawk2 (haven't played 4, and 3 wasn't that good). I had to get a cheat to pass the 3rd level, just to hard for now. the biggest difference between Tony Hawk and bmxxxx is the XXX in the title. In the game you have to help hookers, pimps and homeles guys. and if you collect coin you get to see real strip tease, cool. another thing is you can make your rider, eg big **** and wearing very little, or guys wearing very little, what ever your into, oh and the tricks are easy to pull off. in case your wondering why I even looked at the game in the store, it wasn't because of the XXX, it was the sticker saying "Banned In Australia", I'm not kidding.

Answer 5

I do know that Seneca Falls which is outside Syracuse was the inspiration for Bedford Falls in the movie "It's A Wonderful Life".

Answer 6

here's another "who needs em"

and a bit of tidbit i just found During the early 20th century, Ithaca was an important center in the silent film industry. The most common type of film produced was the cliffhanger serial. These films often featured the local natural scenery. Many of these films were the work of Leopold Wharton and his brother Theodore Wharton in their studio on the site of what is now Stewart Park. Eventually the film industry centralized in Hollywood, which offered the possibility of year-round filming, and film production in Ithaca effectively ceased. Few of the silent films made in Ithaca are preserved today
