Trials 2 came out on Steam a whle ago, and I played the demo for a bit then bought the game. It's brilliant. It's a game of skill. Only $10 too! Not one person on my Steam Friends list (50+ people, mostly from here) has this game.
Hang on here's the gamerankings blurb.

As you can see it got very respectable reviews, and the only thing the reviews say is 'wrong' with the game is it's so hard.
Everyone download the demo, and give it a whirl. Play until you can do all the tracks without falling before you judge it . Then go and watch the replays of the harder tracks. After playing for a short while you should 'get' how the bike handles.
Very challenging and very rewarding game. Here's it's main page
It's also filled with some cool touches. You can watch anyones replay at the click of a button, race against anyones ghost at the click of a button (click the small 'play' or 'ghost' icon next to their name in the records menu). There's also 25 Steam Achievements, ranging from easy (break all bones in one jump) to almost impossible (come first on a leaderboard). Online rankings for everything you do too.
Edit: Just wanted to clarify something. Yes. It's hard. Its the hardest game i've played in years.
