Has MXS helped you in real life?

Post by IanGroganFMX »

When I first started playing MXS about a year ago I hated it because I couldnt hold the throttle wide open without crashing. Shortly thereafter I realized its like real life, after all its a simulator. Since I've progressed with MXS I have also noticed I have progressed with real life riding. I tend to know what the bike is going to do in certain situations without even thinking about it where I used to not. The main thing I've picked up from MXS and used in real life moto is using my entire body to turn the bike more than just using my arms.

Idk. I just thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced the same thing.

I feel like I've improved how exactly I race, like racing strategy. Probably improved my reaction times as well. But as far as the actual riding goes, probably not.

I could see it helping with handling pressure on and during the races, other than that no.

Sim made me hate all foreigners with bad internet, except the French. I hated them before sim.

There is a definite correlation between kicking butt at Loretta Lynn's and playing MXS.
