erorr404 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 1.) do ramps help spins? i have noticed that when i go off of a ramp first, then hit the vehicle, the spin is usually faster and higher (ie probably why Ramon and Night use the airport ramp before hitting the bus, rather than hitting the bus from the ground). is it true that in general, if you hit a vehicle after going off a ramp, you will get more height and more roatations than if you hit one from the ground? the reason i am asking this is because im trying to nail a stunt at a specific location (that happens to have no ramps nearby) by hitting a bus and getting mad rotations as well as significant height. i am looking for as many rotations as possible, with the bike continuing going forward, over the bus, and onto a roof in front of me. is this possible without a ramp? also here is something ive discovered. if you hit the vehicle at a very high horizantal angle, around 45 degrees, it gets you mad rotations (meaning hitting the vehicle not perpendicularly, but sideways). is this true? that is it for now. i plan on using this thread for other questions too if they arise. thanks in advance.

Gamefreek Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I'd think that ramps help you spin cuz they launch you in the air giving you more air time, which would mean a bigger rotation. Also i dont think the bike would go over the bus, seeing as your hitting it and just going straight up. Link to comment
Ramon Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 well i found the way 2 spin that fast and jeah, u must not go straight agains it but i dunnow if that spot is possible, just keep on trying . And btw my newest vid is ALMOST done , the name is : Just realize and its 10 min long Link to comment
NosGoth Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Your video? OUR video man! And it's gonna kick ass. Some extreme stunts in it. LoL! Link to comment
erorr404 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 thanks for replies, i guess i wll mess with it some more and see if i get a nice jump. maybe i can try coming in FROM the direction of the place i want to land on, hit the bus, and get bounced back onto that place . 2.) here are a couple of questions about grinds. firstly, when you are doing a jump to land on a fence/rail, is it better to put the front wheel up (lean back) or put the front wheel down (lean forward), when you hit the fence? secondly, when you are already on the fence/rail what is the best way to gain/maintain speed? do you just lean up a bit and down a lot, or do you move in all directions (lean up, down, turn right, left)? thirdly, sometimes when in grinding, the bike just seems suddenly stop for some reason, as if there was something in the way. it doesnt slow down gradually and stop, it just suddenly stops on the rail/fence. is it possible to avoid this, or is it just luck?

l2ebel Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 2.) here are a couple of questions about grinds. firstly, when you are doing a jump to land on a fence/rail, is it better to put the front wheel up (lean back) or put the front wheel down (lean forward), when you hit the fence? lean a bit foreward, horizontal works too but i wouldnt lean too much backwards, and im using the front grind spot of the col to land on rails since its easier to get a softer landing secondly, when you are already on the fence/rail what is the best way to gain/maintain speed? do you just lean up a bit and down a lot, or do you move in all directions (lean up, down, turn right, left)? for me its best to rotate my joystick in all directions, so: foreward, left, backward, right.... thirdly, sometimes when in grinding, the bike just seems suddenly stop for some reason, as if there was something in the way. it doesnt slow down gradually and stop, it just suddenly stops on the rail/fence. is it possible to avoid this, or is it just luck? this happens to everyone, mostly it happens to me when im in a 90 degrees angle to the rail, try to get with more speed on the rail this is just how i do it, there might be other/better ways, best is you just practice and try some different stuff Link to comment
erorr404 Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 thanks for the reply, it pretty much confirms what i thought. except i think ill mess with different methods of staying on the rail, as its hard for me to quickly switch to joystick after im get on the rail without falling off.
