Last night I got 105f on Inferno when I finally unlocked it (yea I know, im a casual scrub now) and played it again, still 100+ faults then a good friend of mine, yall might know him as PuRple oOzi, told me to get on the BMX and I passed Inferno 5 with only 6 faults. Cant help but think if this was intentional, or maybe the game secretly trying to get us to utilize other bikes with tracks made for that purpose, I don't know. Granted I stopped playin Fusion only a few months after it was released so its been years since ive been on the bike but something just seems different bout the Mantis handling extreme/ninjas, but id love to know what you guys think.
