Reverse SX Series - Yay or Nay? (POLL)

Post by motokid499 »

Tyler Parsell and I have come up with the idea quite awhile ago, to take a supercross track, and reverse all the timing gates and race them backwards. Needless to say, we had a blast, so we are wondering how many people in the community would be interested in a series like this. Tyler Parsell has edited three 2014 RFG Supercross tracks, just to make the tracks work a little bit better backwards in sections where it would be impossible otherwise. Other than that, you are basically riding the wrong way. While racing.
It will most likely be a 4-5 round series, including three RFG 2014 Supercross tracks, the 2014 FAMmx Fall Cup Rd 1, and if there is a 5th round the track will most likely be Rd 2 of the FAMmx Fall Cup. Of course, we would need permission to use and edit the tracks from the creators. If the series happens, it would be before the start of 2015 Supercross season.

As of now, this is an idea, but we are prepared and able to host if enough interest is shown. If we cannot get permission to use tracks, we will find tracks that we can get permission to use.

This may sound like complete mayhem, and it probably will be, but if you are looking for a non competitive fun series, this might be the series for you.

That'd be fun. I used to do it in 03 after the race finished all the time and would have fun making new rhythms.

Why race tracks where ALL jumps have the wrong sloping, when you have plenty of good tracks to race normally?

Because its not often you can race 21 other guys going backwards on a track. I think it would be fun and different, playing in 03 with the same squirrels all the time gets old, we need more prep/fun races before A1.

Would you guys want it edited slightly so its a little more rider-friendly when going backwards? Or to those who already like the idea, should we edit or keep it exactly how it is, and just reverse timing gates?
