Ride Boarski debuted in Mega Man X7 as one of the eight Mavericks on the Stage Select screen. He is a member of Red Alert who occupies a central highway, serving as the boss of the Central Circuit stage. He attacks the player by turning into a motorcycle and laying traps, surrounded by Runnerbomb grunts throwing bombs. Defeating Ride Boarski grants Moving Wheel to Axl and X, and Zankourin to Zero. His weakness is the Circle Blaze or Bakuenjin from Flame Hyenard, which knocks him on his back. A boss attack rematch with Ride Boarski later occurs in the Crimson Palace.

Behind the Scenes

Developer Commentary

"He is a fast-paced Yankee wearing rider gloves and a crest. The guys who throw bombs from outside the ring during battles are probably his 'little bros.' He transforms into a bulky motorcycle form. It was difficult to come up with the transformation gimmick." - (Concept Art Room)[3]
