No one can race with this new rider thing yet, the demo's made from it are incompatible with the old ones. So if anyone submits a demo made from this to one of the races, you shall be slapped in the face

but we can do a spliced race with 2 guys using the rider leaning true?

I'm not sure. I don't think the current splicing scripts work for this.

I think the rider lean is great...you can really add some style to your riding...I think this brought this game to life. Before it felt like a robot driving a bike now it feels like im actually controlling everything. Great job jlv cant wait for the final release.

I have to say, after putting lots of laps on the stock tracks.... i simply love the rider movement.

After you get used to how leaning effects certain parts of your technique, it really becomes so much fun.

Scrubbing seems so much more.... rewarding in a sense. You come up to a jump and right before you hit the top of the jump, you lean back and flick it sideways. Midway through your jump you lean foward and turn the opposite way to bring it back. It just simply feels so neat and rewarding when using 1st person view.

Also, i have noticed that there are certain times when leaning back in a corner can be beneficial. Also, on berms that you want to just cut on a dim, you come in straight, lean foward, flick the bike, and gas out of it.... i've done it about a dozen times now and, again, just simply feels awesome.
