By Dave Tach on May 15, 2013 05.15.13

Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain DLC trailer tours new tracks, BMX bike

By Griffin McElroy on Oct 04, 2012 10.04.12

The DLC, which launches on Xbox Live tomorrow, Oct. 5, for 400 Microsoft Points ($5), also adds over 100 new editor objects to the game, further increasing the amount of craziness that the more creative part of the game's community can whip up. There are new rider customization options too, as well as a handful of new skill games, which put the fundamentals of Trials to work in bizarre, often quite deadly mini-games.
