I'm new.

Post by Devo »

Hello, I am new to the forums and fairly new to this game. I just completed the full version and it was pretty fun=). I would like to become better at this game, and active on this forum. So, how can I improve? Should I get any patches? From what I can tell, there is still a pretty dedicated fanbase to this game, and I look forward to (hopefully) joining it.

Btw, I was watching some pretty neat youtube videos, this one guy did some crazy back wheel bounce thing.... any tips on this?

Oh, thanks.


Also, (this may be because of vista 64 bit) I am having some lag issues, the sound gets all cracky and I start to lag... bad. I have a perfectly capable computer so it's not that... Any patch/fix?
EDIT: I will post this in correct forum.

Turn sounds off, the sooner the better, you will eventually do it anyway.

A good way to improve your internal times is by looking at old wr replays from moposite: http://www.moposite.com/downloads_replays_old_wrs.php aswell as comparing yourself with others with a bit better TT on sites like http://vk0.dk/elmatimes.php or http://stats.elastomania.ru/

A big part of the action nowadays is going on in belma which mawane linked to: http://zworqy.com/belma/

These days interactive external websites are quite popular aswell, like http://creapple.se/nindex/ http://skintatious.net/ and http://kopasite.net/

You could also check by the IRC channel #across in IRCnet (download mirc form mirc.com or use webchat: http://webchat.xs4all.nl/ )

A bounce is fairly use to make in levels like spiral where you can get a lot of speed, just compress the backwheel and press brake


Oh, and hello, always nice to see new people here (:

And you definitely should watch Elma Done Quick for a "WOW!" experience ;)
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

Have to disagree. Sounds are very important in learning the bike behaviour. Actually I always put sounds on when I watch closely a world record replay since you might miss some detail if you dont hear the replay.

I just found these links on the Moposite, but they're not working for me. Am I special or are these links broken/files deleted?

It would be nice to play through them, because I haven't played this game in like... 10 years. And I was a complete noob back then too.

The Moposite kinda looks like it's been dead since 2006...

You sure set a lot of demands :p Aborting rights will be harder to get. The other two should be less of a problem.

Don´t expect getting aborter rights. Special rights are easier as xiph said, but many more experienced kuskis do not have special balle starting rights. So don´t have high hopes, but some right granter will maybe be kind.

I think this B-jen character is not ambitious enough for any rights

He's clearly unworthy of possessing elma, let alone being allowed to play it.
