Outspark, that purveyor of many a micro-transaction based online gaming, announces the commercial launch of Project Powder.  The free-to-play/pay-for-premium ("freemium" is the newfangled term, I believe, if you have a very controlled gag reflex) features four playable characters, fourteen tracks, three game modes -- Race Mode, Battle Mode, and Coin Mode -- in-game cash awards for hotter gear and hotter boards, as well as the ability to "create your own unique style" with tricks culled from the trick tree.

These pics are blown up from much smaller images on the Outspark website; sorry about the pixelation, but it's the best I could scrape from their site.  Looks all kinds of unexciting to me, but maybe your tastes dictate otherwise:
