What do you think - possible or not?

[Ardie]

So, I saw this spot being done by Darkstar and Slayer with the Adder in Nomad Union's video RAW and decided to try it with a bike. This was the best attempt I got and I'd like to know what do you guys think, is it possible or not?

Possible or Not?

[Nitromanic]

I'd say it's possible but you need to keep leaning back rather than doing the full backflip to get more height.

Okay thanks, I'll try that.

[Basium]

it is absolutely possible to the top!

[VaNilla]

You can do this with the full backflip too. I'd recommend the Bati instead of the Double T for this one. Reaching the height isn't the hard part with a good bump, getting the height and distance together is. The Bati has a higher top speed, and a higher potential wheelie, so you'll land the roof much more easily. Try and bump the ledge with a higher wheelie and you'll get way more height off it . Also, try bumping it further to the left, so you're connecting with a higher surface area on the bump. Nice spot by the way .

EDIT: One more thing. You don't need any slow motion for this if you use the content creator, even with traffic on . It makes such a difference to be able to load a checkpoint without having to load a quick save every single time you bail.

^Nope, ruffian's totally enough here.


Just pull your wheelies during the run up, and SS, you keep your height when you don't pull the backflip. If you keep your bike looking at the sky, you'll keep your height, and will land it more easily. But yeah, just pull a wheelie during the runup, and you'll definitely land it. Go online aswell, you'll get rid of that traffic.

:p I might use the Bati, but I thought that the Ruffian is better for that kind of bumps Thanks, it is hard also so it is fairly good :p

Yeah, and Nitromanic said about the thing when you keep yourself upside down you keep the height and go further so I'll definitely try that. Yeah, I'm just setting up the content creator thing for it :p Hopefully I'll land it.

I know that, but I'm saying you "can" do it with a full backflip, which would definitely look way better for the landing. Also, the Ruffian would be far worse for this stunt. Lower top speed than the Bati, the higher wheelie isn't helpful with this spot because the Bati's wheelie can also go past the point of bumping into the bail state, and the Ruffian has a mass of 250, whereas the Bati has a mass of 230, so you will always get much better attempts with the Bati .

EDIT: Handling.dat info source for mass information.
EDIT 2: Ardie, the simplest rule is this. If you can bump consistently with the Bati, the Bati is always the best choice. If you can't bump with the Bati, use the Ruffian instead. If you're trying to get really vertical height from a bump and the ledge is low down, or has a drop before it, test the Double T .

[Ardie]

Yup, it definitely is possible. I would of landed it but I accidentally did the full backflip...

[JaiK]

been trying it for a while. Btw does anyone know if you can use the bike modify mechanic w/e thingy when you are in online creator ? 

[Ardie]

Good luck. And no, you can't. You could in Online but it's just the same as SP then.
I was wrong right answer below.

[MxZz.]

Yes you can. You have to publish your race, and do all the stuff that has the red "warning" thing.

[Nitromanic]

Publish your race instead of doing it in the test phase and you can use your own personal bike when starting it as a normal job through the start screen under online > jobs. Are you on Xbox or PS3 Ardie?
