In talking about it right now, and hearing your explanation, no. In the heat of the moment when you made a sudden unexpected move to the right out of the corner, yes.

I am nowhere near as fluid on an MXS bike as I am on my RL one. Once I pick a line, I have to either take it or wash out. The one where I jumped inside was because when I landed off the double, my bike was already aimed that way, and so I rolled over the inside thing. Once I was approaching the inside bump all I could do was hope you got a good drive out of the turn so that you just hit my front tire, but that didn't happen and I screwed us both over. Sorry man

All good, I know you weren't doing it on purpose, I just was hoping for a little more caution is all. Looking ahead and being aware of what other riders ahead of you are doing will help with your race result FAR MORE than hot laps....

Does anyone else here get laid, or go out on the weekends? Or has the community just wrapped their peckers around this game and shut-out everything else?

I mean I am all about MXS, and the reality this game brings. You can spin 500 laps a week and you will never tell me that it filled your adrenaline fix like it does throwing your leg over a real motorcycle.

If you really want to try and dedicate yourself to something, try a little harder in school. Trust me, it will pay off in the long run. Look at JLV, he made bank, off of all of us. By what he studied and learned. Not by riding 200 laps on excitebike 64 hoping to post the fastest qualifing time for some free swag. (sorry to date your age JLV, but im guessing your old enough to have grew up in the exitebike era)

And one more point. Not sure if this has been made or not yet....

NO ONE CARES HOW GOOD ANY OF YOU ARE AT THIS GAME! In reality, if your extremely good at MXS, you probably grew up racing the trail bike class.

Weren't you the guy saying rF wasn't doing a serious enough job? Not posting enough race recaps? That sort of thing...

I put more time into this game than I'd say 90% of guys who play it. Now, 90% of that time is spent working on the website, standings, videos, coding, etc etc etc and not exactly playing the game, but still I put a TON of time into it. I am also going to school for Mechanical Engineering, which is one of the most involved and difficult majors you can have, and I take 17 units a semester. I have a job, working 20-30 hours weekly. I also have a girlfriend that I live with, and spend a ton of time with every day. I also see my parents an hour away every few weekends, and of course I ride and race motorcross. I record music, skateboard and I'm pretty good at both of those things too (lots of time in). On top of that I spend a significant amount of time sitting on the couch watching netflix, or playing skyrim. I also spend time browsing the internet. I also take my dog on hour long walks everyday. I'd say even though I put in more time to MXS than most people here, I still have more going on in my life than most, especially you Schafferknocker.

2nd, how is being good at this game different from being good at motocross in real life when you really break it down? Sure this game is a lot smaller, but being good at anything is cool to certain people. Do you know how many people in the world don't give a fuck how good james stewart is at riding a stupid motorcycle? I'll give you a hint, it's in the billions.

You know how many people don't care about how hard you need to try and plead your case that you are better than use because you "have a life" outside of this video game? Everybody

Why don't you just leave us nerds alone and go live your shitty "real life" as you call it....people like you drive me nuts

I have no problem with that. If it's the last corner anything goes. What I don't get is when people go for a takeout when they're running 12th in the first lap of a heat race. You'd think that everyone outside the qualifying positions would be riding extra clean so they can catch 9th instead of crashing and getting lapped.

That was a great first lap. Definitely shows how important it is to not follow, which is really all Die was trying to say.

Phathry25 wrote:So you're saying that the fastest way down the straight was to come out of the right hander, keep turning right, then turn left off the finish line jump, and then turn right in the next corner? Hmm...I am obviously stubborn, and narrow minded, but I always figured taking a strait line between the two right handers would have been fastest...but what do I know, it's not like I was obviously getting down that strait any faster than Darr... :roll:

Looking at the bright side, you did great in all the left handers!

Sucks to come to the conclusion that that's what is takes to get out clean from people who make stupid decisions now... Hoping to see that license system next year.

Oh, and about DAMN TIME Shack!

X2 on the bold. That luck stuff sure seems to not be happening for me. In the main's anyway.

What everybody has forgotten to mention here is...EGO They are so inflated around here at so many different levels for so many stupid reasons. You're also dealing with kids that think MX/SX REVOLVES around the block pass or take out to advance instead of pure talent(used loosely). As for creating a system to keep out the riff-raff, I'm all for it. I know that requiring qualifying laps has helped and a licencing system will further that. However, the ego problem will never go away. I see issues being resolved in a mature manner(also used loosely), but I also see people acting like they have special privelige(caste) over others and that's just wrong. This is going to continue to grow with the number of UID's out there and it'll be interesting to see what JLV can do to prevent MXS from getting too big for it's britches. Good luck.
