First off, I hate to be the guy but, it's called Skiing. Secondly, if you're just hopping in and playing deathmatch, you're not getting the full Tribes experience. Capture the Flag has been and is the mode of choice for Tribes. The learning curve can be a bit steep, but once you get the basics of skiing and leading your target at speeds figured out, it's a really fun game. That being said, if going super fast with jetpacks doesn't immediately hook you in some way, Tribes just may not be the game for you.
A racing game with just two speeds huh? That's old hat, a good number of old arcade games just had a lever for speed labeled 'high' or 'low'. The challenge was in avoiding the other cars, not actually racing.
@SpectaSpec The Daytona USA soundtrack CD was named B-univ, which is also the name of the two man team that did the soundtrack arrangement for the game. B-univ sorta looks like Bunny, doesn't it?
