Anyone interested in a advanced/low stability races?

Calling all advanced riders who ride sensitive setups and are tired of racing people on noob setups..

I've been wondering if anyone would be interested in doing a low stability race?

Basically taking MX sim to the next level with settings that you can't really race someone newer or somewhat experienced players with because you're at huge disadvantage, but when others are on the same settings or around it, it makes the racing/riding so so much more realistic.

I think a good start would be...

Sub 40 Forward and Vertical Damping
Over 70 Forward and Vertical Spring
Less than 12 Leveling, Roll Damping, and Slow Damping Speed, less than 1.50 Slow damping factor

Anything else would be fair game.

Any takers ? I realize not a lot of people even ride at setups this low, so I think at best I would expect half a gate, but even then it would be a lot of fun.

I've had this idea before, everyone uses the "worst" settings ever or something. The only problem is that you can not in any way verify ones settings, So I can keep rocking my normal ones while you think I'm on the given ones. Otherwise it'd be a fun race.

Yeah that would be the hardest part, it would basically have to be an honor system. If everyone was on the same forward damping, it would be pretty easy to tell if someone was cheesing and using a higher value because obviously they would be going accelerating faster and slowing down faster, but everything else would be a lot harder to detect.

Also I wouldn't say they are 'worse' settings, it's just so sensitive you have to ride 100% perfect while pushing it in order to keep up with someone on a noob setup who is taking wide lines and basically just holding down the throttle everywhere and barely using the suspension.

Maybe in the future JLV could add some sort of check spec or settings lock for custom events.

Even if you are using the same settings, the people using keyboard would have a disadvantage, since they'd have to go full force at once, while having joysticks, you could set so you would only be using 10% of the maximum range, "nerfing" the stability, due to not being able to go full side to side. So as you said, it'd have to be an honor system.

Yeah that is true, I didn't even consider keyboard players.
