i put it on my laptop a few days ago, and I needed to download a separate dll file after installation. If that's your problem, it's pretty easy to google the dll file (I don't remember the name of it, sorry) and download it and get Freakout running.
Torrent it, it's slightly less guilt-inducing because of the fact that it will never be released here. I got it working. Most people don't install DirectX 9.0c and that's their problem.
yeah i was thinking the exact same thing, at least it doesnt look like u can take ur skis off tho. I wish the park was a little more realistic. The rails are like 200 ft long
