Time to put on those ski masks and hit the slopes. Coldwood Interactive and JoWood Productions are breaking the ice with another winter sports title. Freak Out: Extreme Freeride is set to come out for the PSP and PC on Q1 2007. Featuring the song "One Time Young" by 3 Feet Smaller, this trailer takes you for a snowy rush down a mountain. Spinning, rolling, and side-winding along the way, you'll need lots of hand-eye coordination to best this game. Other than that, at least the soundtrack is tres cool. And nope - there won't be any Chic songs in it, despite the game title. Check out the trailer below!

More than a week ago, we told you guys that the teaser site for Freak Out Extreme Freeride is already up, where we're first given a glimpse of how the game looks like. Now knowing you guys, you're probably not satisfied with just three measly screens, right?

So...double that and you can sum up what we have for you today! Hahaha. Yeah-huh, six brand spanking new screens from Freak Out for you to err..get all freaky with? That doesn't sound right, scratch that. ANYWAY, this game is supposedly going to give skiing a new name: from a family-trip-to-Vermont-activity to extreme-kickass-stunt-pulling sport.

Intrigued, aren'tcha? So let's cut to the chase and just get on to the screens, whaddya say? (By the way, the screens below are from PC, the ones above are probably from PS2, and sad to say, we have yet to score PSP screens for you guys. But hey, at least you get to see how it looks like, yes?)
