[R8] Summer Wheelie 5/5 · US Love this game: I have been playing this game for about 3 days and I already have the third longest wheelie (that I know of) a score of 26,764, and here’s where my one wish comes in, I wish this game had an online leaderboard accessible in the game, so that not only will it be more competitive but also we could see what place we’re in. Thank you anyways!
