Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
What's wrong about giving a shit about a game if you're over 30? You know this game is made by someone over 30 right?

Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
Here let me repost the gif. Youre side by side coming into the turn. You left the inside WIDE open and you continued to try to carry speed around the corner knowing he was literally next to you on the inside. What, do you not use your headset? For playing this game for over 7 years Id expect someone like you to have some rider awareness. How do you not see that you literally rode into his back tire. You could have EASILY hit your brakes real quick and been perfectly fine.ShackAttack12 wrote:LOL. Ok.MxVelocity747 wrote:But I dont see him bitching about people cleaning him in a race?

Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
Do you have your competitor volume on 0 like Leclair? Or did your baked potato lookin ass not hear him coming up your inside, I've had tons of people come up my inside after whoop sections but you know what I do? Slow the fuck down and cut to the inside to avoid the collision.ShackAttack12 wrote:LOL. Ok.MxVelocity747 wrote:But I dont see him bitching about people cleaning him in a race?

Man, that's a pretty slick analysis coming from a guy that was flat on his face for all of the 4 laps he lasted in the main event before rage quitting.

Reid was bike lengths behind me entering the whoops. How can you assume that I knew he was coming in whiskey on the inside? You wouldn't even know he was there. I was focused on not hitting the downed rider after the sketchy ass whoops. He came in so fast it was impossible to hear him next to me. In first person I didn't even see him until his front tire was through my skull.
The problem is in your logic. You immediately assume if there's a small door open that you can make a pass, even if it means cleaning the guy out. Youre saying that I should expect someone to come in hot and clean me out and that I should be the one to avoid it. You're saying that the rider in front should have mirrors and give way to the rider behind. I'm sorry, but that's the problem with this community. That logic is retarded. And it just goes to show your lack of racing ethic. I give riders the benefit of the doubt and expect them to race clean, as I do.
That all having been said, I think (and hope) Reid would have given me proper room had he not whiskeyed the whoops. We were racing very respectfully up until then, and even after that incident.

Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
You had more than enough time to react, you were side by side at the end of the whoops. Who cares if I lasted a few laps, Im not the one whos complaining about something that I could have easily avoided. That was no small window, he was set up for it since the end of the whoops and you left the window literally wide open. My logic isnt bad on this situation, the fact you still think you couldnt have avoided that is insane. It wasnt like he was bike lengths behind you after the whoops and used you as a berm, you were side by side after the whoops and he had a better drive you continued to try and go around the outside. From someone like you I would have expected a bit smarter decision there. You had more than enough time, Ive seen people react to passes like that and hit the brakes for them with way less of a heads up. And no I dont take people out, I enjoy clean racing. Not once this year have I ran it up someones inside. I make as clean as possible passes.

Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
Not that I have anything to do with this particular argument but this is exactly how I feel.ShackAttack12 wrote: The problem is in your logic.

Youre saying that I should expect someone to come in hot and clean me out and that I should be the one to avoid it.

If someone can get on the inside, take you high and clean out your front tire and ride away with it, its considered clean?
Its also like people complaining of people cross-jumping. Yeah sure it might be a dicky move but the rider who is in front always has the right to use the entire width of the track the way he/she sees fit.
Yeah its really annoying if someone crossjumps intentionally and its a dick move dont get me wrong, but its right in the rulebook. Sometimes jumping from ones side to the other to line up better for the next corner is the faster way around the track and such reasoning should be expected from the rider behind. Its just like riding down a skislope. Its always the person behind that has the responsibility to avoid running into the person in front.
My opinion on this specific incident is that Shack couldnt do anything. Yeah Reid did get fucked in the whoops and probably stopped as fast as he could here, but it doesnt change the fact that it was 100% Reids fault that Shack went down. Shack cant react that fast to someone coming on the inside like that, especially in first person when you dont see them until they are bombing your front wheel.
However this type of move is so often considered a "clean" pass just because the aggressor rides out of it. 95% of the people who play this game consider this the only means of passing, as it negates the other rider any chance of a comeback. Very few people can actually race properly, give eachother room for repassing, making everything possible to NOT hit the other guy and to keep racing until a proper pass is done. I know there are some people who can race properly and it´s such a blast racing these people, passing back and forth and having a fun race. They are incredible rare though and its really sad.
If something should be taught to the racers in this community, it should be proper racecraft and learning to make proper passes. Everyone always goes for the takeout to make a pass rather than doing a proper pass. Square it up, scrub extra hard, get alongside and outbrake someone. There is 1000 different ways to make a proper pass.
Another reasoning I dont get is that just because people are fast, they can behave however they want and that they have some sort of priviliege on the track? I hear so often when people gets blamed for a rough pass or a takeout that they just refer to "U fucking slow get out of the way" kinds of thing. Its even when its arguments that has nothing to do with a race at all the "faster" guy still defends himself with that he´s faster than the other guy and the slower guy should just be wrong just because he´s not as fast. I do not understand this argument at all and it annoys the fuck out of me. Like how much time you have available to play the game determines how right you are in everything. Cmon.
Alot of you pro guys are very guilty of this and remember that your speed in the game has nothing to do with anything else.
Also, if someone is in front of you and on the same lap, why in the world would he move for you? He´s fighting for position as much as you and just because you are "considered" faster or maybe have more points in the championship isnt worth anything when fighting for the same position on the racetrack. If you are so much "faster" then you´ll easily make the passes you need without people moving over for you.
People needs to get their heads out of their own asses seriously

Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
I raced clean with you as well, gave you room and you still figured a way to take me out in corner (main line) while 3 leaders were coming at us 1 second back, it almost made them crash. So don't cry when you do it as well.ShackAttack12 wrote:This is the type of crap i cant stand.
Reid Young, I raced clean with you for a solid 5 minutes and then you just come in and plow me after the whoops. WTF man?

Re: 2017 rF Supercross (Pro and Amateur)
Hate to say it, but this has to be the worst track this year. So inconsistent and tight. If you compare this to a track like round 4, which was big and wide open and fast, this track is a disappointment. Tight sections, what feels like a layer of thick ice on top of the whoops and possibly the worst starting area I've ever seen makes for a very underwhelming track. To be honest, I'd be surprised if more than half the field come out of the first turn alive in Am's tomorrow. As always I appreciate entirely the work that everyone does for this game and the racing scene. But in my humble opinion, the worst track yet. #soznotsoz
