    Crazy Nosehop/bounce!

    Check this vid below. I was racing against Ziff300 in a showdown and accidentally pulled this crazy move. Basically, the game froze while I was mid-air so I didn't know what I was doing. I tried to correct myself and somehow managed to pull this insane nosehop over the next ramp. So far, I have not been able to replicate it and can only put it down to a freak occurence!

    Watch the ghost, not the rider.

    Insane!

    I remember doing some nosehops on some tracks, but not that good!

    I might add that maybe the extra height in the bounce was created by the game freezing? The game quite often speeds up after it's lagged or slowed down, so maybe this happened at a crucial point and directly impacted on the bounce? Just a thought..

    I think that isn't the issue, I tested this on DarkZone and Tanktops, and dropped down in several places with nosedive, few times when the angle was correct I bounced as high as in your video.

    f.ex. In Tanktops, gathered speed at last checkpoint and nosedived on the last platform and bounced over the finishline.

    Ah so maybe it wasn't a fluke. I'm sure the rider doesn't move - which means the angle must have to be perfect to get the bounce!

    Yeah, I did this too on the Donkey (Drifter Valley #2 ghost on IOS). I was so surprised the rest of my run wasn't all it could have been (Cass beat me later without it, barely) but still.... pretty cool timesaver. It's rare but not caused by game freeze.

    haha nice if the rest of the track was smooth i feel sorry for your opponent, these things happens rarely, he will have to give up the track and trying the other 2...usually when i m doing crazy things like this in The bunker i get stressed and mess up the rest of the track

    Yes, the rest of the track was smooth running. I just wish it had been on a tier 2 bike as I would have beaten my record by a fair bit. Nevermind though!
