TURBORILLA NAMES JOHN WRIGHT AS CEO

Gaming Studio Behind Mad Skills Franchise, 200M+ Downloads Drives Toward Future

June 2, 2025 Umeå, Sweden - Today Turborilla AB, an Umeå-based independent gaming studio, is gearing up for a game-changing chapter with the announcement of London native John Wright as Chief Executive Officer. This move by the Board of Directors proves Turborilla’s commitment to push the boundaries and thrive in the competitive gaming landscape.

Wright brings to Turborilla nearly 15 years of industry knowledge. Most recently as the Vice President of Mobile Games at Kwalee, he was instrumental in scaling the company past one billion lifetime downloads while leading a 180-person global team. Prior to Kwalee, Wright held a founding leadership role at Luna Labs as Vice President of Operations. He played an active role in driving Luna Lab’s acquisition by Unity and led the post-merger integration to align teams and technology.

“I’m honored to lead Turborilla into its next chapter,” said Wright. “Thank you to Tobias and the board for their trust. With our talented team, we’ll continue to grow the Mad Skills brand, strengthen our publishing partnerships, and create new experiences that engage players around the world, doubling down on what fans love.” In 2024, Wright was recognized with a TIGA Award nomination for Outstanding Leadership. He also serves as a strategic advisor to several successful gaming companies, helping them navigate growth and product strategy.

“We’re thrilled to welcome John Wright as our new CEO,” said Turborilla founder and former CEO Tobias Andersson. “John brings a wealth of leadership experience and a bold vision for the future, championing our guiding principles: ‘Come As You Are’, ‘We Have Your Back’, and ‘Ship It’. I am confident in stepping back into a board member position and handing over the reins, knowing he’ll lead Turborilla to new heights.”

Wright begins his appointment effectively immediately.

Catching Up with Red Bull Ride Day Winner Kasie Powers

It’s been a while since the 2019 Red Bull Summer Jam ended, and since that time, 1,601 prizes have been awarded to Mad Skills Motocross 2 players all over the United States. As we prepare for a different kind of in-game event later this summer (more details soon!), we thought it would be a good time to finally share some details about grand prize winner Kasie Powers.

Kasie’s name was drawn randomly from the pool of contest entries, which were earned by competing in the free Red Bull Summer Jam last year. Her prize was a once-in-a-lifetime, exclusive ride-day with motocross and supercross legend and Red Bull athlete Ryan Dungey.

The big day took place at Fox Raceway in Pala, California, on January 17, and Kasie attended with her father, from whom she learned to ride as an eight-year-old girl. They’ve been riding together ever since, but perhaps never quite like this.

“It was fantastic,” she says. “I was so excited to get to ride with Ryan and to get to ride where the pros ride! We got to ride all day and the KTM and Red Bull trucks were there to support us until we wanted to leave, which was around 3 pm or so. It is beautiful there, with mountains in the distance, and the sand/dirt combo was perfect for riding after it rained that morning.”

“Ryan was actually just like he seems on TV,” she continues. “He was so personable and down to earth, and a genuinely nice guy. He helped to make the ride day more than I was imagining. He actually rode multiple laps with me a few different times out, and did the same with my dad. The fact that he did those extras really shows the kind of guy he is, and I felt so blessed for this experience.”

Like many real-life motocrossers, Kasie is also a Mad Skills Motocross player. When she can’t be on a real bike, Mad Skills helps to satisfy her passion for the sport.

“I really like playing Mad Skills Motocross,” she says. “It reminds me of actual riding, and it’s fantastic to be able to play on my phone anytime I want. For a while now, I have preferred to play Jam more often than playing Career, as it feels more challenging and you can’t use rockets. You have to perfect making your time faster by how you land and such. I wasn’t playing the Red Bull Summer Jam to win the contest -- so this prize was just a bonus.”

That is indeed a heck of a bonus. We’re really glad you had such a great time, Kasie. Thanks so much for playing Mad Skills Motocross, and congratulations again on winning such an epic experience.

The 2020 Mad Skills Motocross World Championships

Get your thumbs ready for the 2020 Mad Skills Motocross World Championships, where the fastest Mad Skills racers in the world will be flown to Stockholm for a two-day tournament-style slugfest to determine the best player on the planet. The winner will not only earn bragging rights as the top dog, but he or she will also go home with a cool $10,000. The complete purse breakdown is as follows:

1st: $10,000 2nd: $6,000 3rd: $4,000 4th: $3,000 5th: $1,500 6th: $1,500 7th: $1,000 8th: $1,000 9th: $500 10th: $500 11th: $500 12th: $500

But before you can win, you’ve gotta qualify. (Except for Zach “ZSE743″ Elmes who, as defending champ, has earned a guaranteed spot in the 2020 event.)

The first chance to earn an invite starts March 23, when the Jam Qualifier Week begins. All you have to do is play Jam that week. And play it well. The top three overall finishers at the end of the round will receive an automatic invite to the World Championships in Stockholm. The next 64 overall finishers will be invited to compete in our World Championship Qualifier Bracket on April 11.

The top 8 finishers from the Qualifier Bracket will be invited to Stockholm for the 2020 Mad Skills Motocross World Championships, which take place May 16 and 17.

You must be at least 15 in order to qualify for the WCs, and if you’re a minor, you’ll need to have an adult with you.

Front wheels up! Let’s go!

Turborilla AB Names Mattias Wiking Chief Executive Officer

Tobias Andersson remains Chairman of the Board

Umeå, Sweden. (December 16, 2019) – Mobile-games studio Turborilla AB today announced that Mattias Wiking has been named Chief Executive Officer effective immediately. Wiking is transitioning from his previous role as Chief Operating Officer to replace company founder Tobias Andersson, who remains Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company. Turborilla is the developer of the popular Mad Skills franchise of mobile action-sports games. “Wiking is a proven leader in the games industry with a track record that not only shows his ability and depth of knowledge but also his compatibility with Turborilla’s company culture,” said Andersson. “He was a perfect fit from the moment we initially hired him as COO, and we’re positive his transition to CEO is going to be seamless and successful.”

Wiking began his tenure as Turborilla’s COO upon his initial hire in 2018, and for the last year has focused on improving business operations, finding new opportunities, and developing a more refined long-term plan, all while sticking closely to the company’s core value of providing an excellent work-life balance for employees. He will continue and expand this work in his new position. “It feels great to be named CEO, and I’m truly honored,” said Wiking. “Turborilla is an awesome company, and I think we’re a perfect match. I’m happy to still have Tobias by my side as Chairman of the Board while we continue to work long-term to build a fine company that thrives far into the future. We have a very experienced and passionate team, and they are super easy to work with. I'm proud and happy to be leading them.”

Wiking has worked in game development since 2000, as a programmer at Teknikhuset, Resolution Interactive and Grin, and later as a producer and technical director at Starbreeze Studios in Uppsala. In February 2014, after two years as a project manager at Umeå University, Wiking started Paradox Arctic, a Paradox Interactive studio, in Umeå, where he built a team of 26 dedicated employees from the ground up. In September 2017 he left the studio to work with Arctic Game Lab and the indie developer Orch Star Studios as an executive producer. Wiking has worked with many games during his career, including Pillars of Eternity - Complete Edition, Magicka 2, Syndicate and Bionic Commando.

Mad Skills BMX 2 Freebies!

Mad Skills BMX 2 is finally here, and can be downloaded for free by anybody with an iOS or Android device. It’s super fun, is enjoying great initial reviews, and just received an awesome App Store feature by the fine folks at Apple.

We decided we wanted to try to fun contest with this release, so here goes.

We created a ridiculous, old-school tabbed flier for hanging up on bulletin boards, lockers, etc.

The flier advertises free BMX bikes, but when you really look at it, you realize they’re virtual bikes in Mad Skills BMX 2. My daughter (probably accurately) calls this “real-world click bait.” I just think it’s funny.

So here goes. Want some free in-game currency? Just follow these easy steps:

1. Print this flier (link) 2. Hang at least one in a legal public place and snap a pic of it 3. Post the pic on OUR FACEBOOK WALL or on your own Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #bmx2flier, and let us know where in the world you’ve hung the flier. And you must tell us your Mad Skills username. That’s it. Anybody who does this by Thursday, February 8, will get 50 in-game gold bars added to their account! (This offer is only valid once per player.) And on Friday, February 9, we’ll randomly choose one person from all participants to hit the Mad Skills BMX 2 lottery and win 4000 in-game gold bars!

Oh, and we’ll repost/retweet/share the best pics the best entries.

Get the printable flier here.

Get to it!

Mad Skills BMX 2 Release News

At long last, we have some news about the release of our new game, Mad Skills BMX 2. Thanks to everyone for your patience!

On Monday, December 11, Mad Skills BMX 2 will be released in a soft-launch phase in Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia. The point of a soft launch is to expand testing beyond our own beta team, to see how the game performs in the real world. This will allow us to receive significantly more user data, which we’ll use to do last-minute fine-tuning and make sure we’re releasing a game globally that works the way it’s supposed to.

We hope this soft-launch phase lasts no more than a month. Our goal is to launch the game globally in mid-January. This is going to depend on how the soft-launch phase goes, so we can’t promise anything. We’re going to do everything in our power to make it happen, though.

In the meantime, we’re excited to release the official trailer for Mad Skills BMX 2. Thanks again for your patience -- it’ll be time to race very soon. :)

The Atlas Triple Crown Week 3 Results

The final round of the Atlas Triple Crown is now complete, and it’s been an awesome event. The top 10 overall finishers in Round 3 were:

1. SmellsGood* 2. svendsgard 3. Parker111 4. oliveiraleo 5. leonardo197 6. TCR_DJAuzzi_CA 7. sixfootseven 8. BraaptimusPrime 9. RCM0406 10. tabbruciu88 *SmellsGood is actually svendsgard, who decided to register a different account, in a different country. Which, ironically, kind of stinks.

The top three on each track were:

Brace Yourself 1. Parker111 2. svendsgard 3. Smellsgood

Charged 1. SmellsGood 2. Svendsgard 3. oliveiraleo

Very cool to see Parker111 picking up a win. Well done, man.

Now for the final Atlas Brace prizes to award. They go to:

Overall Winner - Atlas Air Brace: Parker111 (since svendsgard already won one in Round 1, and registering as a different player doesn’t actually make somebody a different player)

Random top 1000 finisher - Atlas Guardian Lite: tommy444

Random top 5,000 finisher - Atlas Defender: umber8

Random top 10,000 finisher - Atlas Charger: Allan52

Random top 50,000 finishers - hat/sticker kit: jbarn123, DLD197, redhonda, cresau, Twistedcandy

Random player who beat @atlasbrace in any round - Atlas Air Brace: Shanekoja Congrats to all winners! If your username is listed above, look for an email from Atlas Brace confirming your prize and getting size and shipping details.

Thanks for playing, and we hope everybody had fun. Stay tuned for another special Jam event in -- ahem -- October. Maybe you can even guess what it is. :)
