I doubt it ever will. IMO, right stick inputs for action games can die in a fire.

It's a glitch. Restart your system and your times will reappear. Don't try to repeat them because you'll waste credits on the drop cost.
Do you use the stick for tricks?

If I make a start on this now while PSN is down, will it upload my times to Ridernet when I go online?

Yea, it's still not working. I swear, if I don't get my credit rewards, I'm done with the game.
That laugh...
I use X. I can't even imagine trying to pre-load on the stick.
Did he skip the tutorial? Does he know how to read? There are tool tips and loading screens full of info.
The guy's hilarious.
You will get your credit rewards since RiderNet saves the standings info server side.
He did it, but he's using sticks. I think for a newcomer buttons would be way easier to grasp and force less mashing so I think it was a bad idea to have stick above buttons when you start the game.
I saw in some other video you can hear him loudly clicking the stick around to do a bunch of tricks in one jump, but he mashes it so fast it actually had the character do NO tricks at all and just start up a bunch that never started, lol.

Fucking better. One of them was a plat bracket worth somewhere between 4-7 mill iirc and I'm flat broke right now with 600k

I appear to contract a serious case of Hyperhidrosis in the palm region of my hands when I play this game.

It's seriously terrible. On a Sunday? What the fuck were they thinking?
This game was orginal a bit of a let down.... and then I left world tour. Holy shit, I have not had this much fun with a game in years.
I have a question about the rival challenges. If my friends beat any of my times do they show up here, or do they have to favorite them or something?

Yeah maybe I should have got this for PS3...R2 seems like it would take less effort to hold down than RT on 360.
my index finger hurts : (

These drops aren't gonna gold themselves by taking breaks bro. You could finally hit that perfect run on minute 46!
You won't. You'll hit it at minute 242.

Japan is the region with the fewest sales of PS3s. Just saying. Regardless, shutting down your online service on the weekend is just Sony being Sony now. They just can't seem to do much of anything right.
Learn how to use the updraft to your advantage, and also know that just tapping the wing suit button is often all you need to get over a death hole.
Terrible choice of courses. I'll most likely join because I'm a sucker for courses that make me want to smash shit.

Whoa now, dude. Rolling Thunder is my
Antarctica, Vinson Massif range.
I'm not a trick it player at all but I can see why you did this. Did a clean run on Serenity today in the masssssive GE everyone's competing in and it was zen as fuck.
Racing definitely involves shutting off your trick brain. It's a whole 'nother game. That's one of the things I'm really loving this time around; each of the event types is like a completely different game within SSX.
I was doing some Survive It GEs today with the oxygen tank (which I hated in WT) and I was loving it -- if only for the fact that I was able to squeeze out a few meters more on every run. The feeling of smashing people's records is awesome.
But then I won't be able to judo-chop your records anymore. :c

This would be too much money I've lost. Can't handle it. Can't. Just did your event to show support and increase the pot.

Thin air GEs are the ones I really love because the usual winners who go 2 miles per hour can't win them XD
I'm a huge Skate dude (Skate 2 was my this-gen SSX3, if that makes any sense) and I just can't do it.
I find it too hard to be precise. I'm sure it just takes practise, but I'm a buttons guy when it comes to SSX. I'm not using the Classic controls, but I'll never be able to shake buttons from my brain for an SSX game.
Still really neat that there's two live control schemes.

Song is fucking awesome. Great song for the last track of World Tour.

Oh man, I loved Skate games. They shouldn't have released 3 so fast, though I appreciated hardcore mode.
Anyway, so are you using buttons for tricks too? Or just jumping?
Also, trying to get some world tour badges, for the "no rewinds during survive it events" one, for the events that im racing griff, do I have to use no rewinds AND beat him too? I ask because the NZ survive it is a 1 on 1 race with him as well.
I really like the one that plays during the kilamanjaro survive it. Really epic coupled with the very literal "drop in."

Fuuuuuuuck yeah, love this track, especially when you get a good rythmn going down the track, it makes you feel like a bad ass.
Yeah, dude! I thought the same thing with Skate 3. Funny thing was that I won it while I was up at EAC visiting the studio for SSX community day. I just couldn't get into it like I did with Skate 2.
I appreciated hardcore mode too, but I felt you couldn't do some of the challenges with it enabled because the game was designed around wacky stuff that felt purposely unrealistic. I remember trying to do one of the first pool challenges and having to switch back to normal mode because the hardcore physics made it feel impossible to complete. I also didn't find the world in S3 as compelling as NSV in S2. I had a complete blast just setting up organic spots and sessioning the shit out of them for hours. Spot battles were amazzzzzing. Explore in SSX really reminds me of spot battles in Skate 2.
I'm bummed that we'll probably never see another Skate game (or at least, probably not for some time) but I'm so glad it got done. Definitely the best skateboarding series/game of all time, in my opinion.
I feel that snowboard grabs just don't translate that well for me, personally, since I've played Skate. In Skate, I felt that I was using the stick to shift my weight on the board (you'd even see your character's feet change positions while you were pre-loading) and the tactile sensation of flicking the stick matched up really well with popping your board into a flip trick. You were mostly using the sticks before you did the actual trick, which felt great. (In SSX, you're using it while in the process of performing the trick.) The motion of squeezing the triggers to do left- and right-handed grab tricks also matched up well, I thought. I'm sure they tested it, but I wish, in SSX, stick controls would have you using the L and R triggers to control your hands and the right stick to plant them on spots all over the board. I feel that you could plant your hands in one place and then roll the stick to tweak.

I use buttons for everything in SSX. I do not touch the right stick at all. I tried it for about 15 minutes in the demo and found I was doing much, much better with buttons. Just feels right to me.
This exact thing happened to me too! Was it the one where you needed to trick from the pool onto the roof top and then back into the pool?
Skate 2 is one of my favorite games, I had it while I was deployed and it totally occupied me for like 6 months straight. First game since GTA Vice City that I 100%'d. I bought Skate 3 brand new and fairly recently for PS3 and it was a real let down for me.
On topic: SSX is freakin awesome... and you should except my friend request soultron so I can beat your times too =)
I bought the 12 track soundtrack largely because of this. Really like all of tracks that played during Deadly Descents.

What's your GT? I started to remove people who weren't actually playing SSX (but had added from the demo) and haven't really been accepting FRs since.
The composed stuff is really fantastic. Heat Prelude is definitely my favourite because it sounds like the early menu music. (It might even be the same song, but my memory is playing tricks on me.)
