Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
+1 to I don't want level 11. 9 to 10 already takes forever. I've got Ty, Grif (who I used the million tag to go straight to like 8) and Mac at 10.

2 SSX devs took my time out on Rolling Thunder?

Posted a new time.

I hope this is their reaction when they see it:

Negative, once you spend it it's gone. (Unless you do really well and make more than you put in.)

Paid the 2,000,000 drop cost for the Rolling Thunder Trick It event. I struggled to hit gold; had to "cheat" to do it (ie. play against the mountain). Good thing the payout will be 7-8,000,000. :p

Ok, Psymon has the biggest boost. Assuming you're going to be boosting all the time, does that make him the fastest character?

Because I'm using Elise as my race character and she's SO fast. Might be the board... but still...

So where can I check my times and scores onl..oh wait.

This game would be awesome with some sort of "battlelog".
I want to know what my time on Rolling thunder is and I must wait until I get home...

I dont know now, cause I cant see what you see, but look at the board and there SHOULD be N7 on the right side with black and white stripes if I am not mistaken.

I guess the time remaining should be under 30 hours now.
Thats all I can help you with right now.

Ah, that's the one on my screen! Didn't know how it should look like, thanks! : )

Finally a new personal best at JT2! 1:40:83 (PS3) = p

It's crazy to think about that there are people that are 10 seconds faster than me ; /

Just got the game, my PSN is CheeseOnMyFace.
I'm a beginner, and not all that great at the game. Anyone want to add me? Let me know.
Add away :) There's a semi-hidden list in the OP. My psn is Minamu.

Nice, managed to get all of the WT survive trophies in one sitting :D I thought they were gonna be super hard but the only ones that caused some trouble were Rocks and Cold. No regenerative health was really not fun there >_< 30 tries maybe, WITH a youtube video to guide me. Wingsuit felt like a cheat in some of these.

Regarding the I Ain't Afraid of Snow Ghost Trophy, I added some friends and they were placed below me, do they count towards the trophy or do I need to actively beat one?

Will one week be enough to get into Diamond Bracket on Beyond the Fall - Race It?! Tried a couple of runs this morning and got a new personal best almost every time, currently at 1:16:56, but yeah, gonna be hard to beat that guy at 1:10:89 o_O

Btw, this game is SO much fun! I think it might be a good thing that I have never played a SSX-title before as I can't compare it to previous titles. Sure, some tracks are really frustrating but overall, the positives for sure outweighs the negatives. Love Ridernet! : )

I honestly feel like I don't belong in this game. I am having a really hard time getting a feel for what is in front of me and I am too late to correct which makes me too slow to compete.

Same here. By the time I realize I'm getting a wall or going off a cliff it is too late, even with rewind it is really hard to correct it. The wing suit is the worst, no camera control and you can rarely see what is below you. Too many endless pits and things to smash into makes this game more frustrating than fun.

Serenity is a really awesome track. That peak in general is. BUT FUCK IS IT SHIT FOR RACING. It's a play ground, not a race track.

Thank god I haven't gone hardcore on most of the tracks yet, because for the "I ain't afraid of snow ghost trophy" you need to beat a friends ghost, it won't count if you add friends afterwards and they get placed below you.

Also the 2w event is currently at 13000 riders with 1w to go. Seems a little low if they want to achieve 50000.
 
Holy shit the track Salient on tricky is amazing

Where is it?

What other high roller Global Events are there except Diamond Back, Wrecking Crew and Rolling Thunder? It would be fun if the competition would move around a bit and not just be concentrated on those three runs.
 
I believe that finishing and losing to someone counts as a ghost win for them.
That prized Rolling Thunder Race It time of yours @ 1:02.29 if fun to lose to. After losing to your ghost a few times and getting within .34 of a second with my legit 1:20.63...

I was watching your ghost near the end of the run only to realize the boost you were getting from the huge drop was from a using a wingsuit...

So I basically STOMPED all over your time if I would have used my speed wingsuit as well. I am dissapoint in you, bro.

Edit: and btw I've been able to consistently get more than 1.6 seconds ahead of you in the caves sustained even outside before the drop, its the drop itself with your wingsuit that boosts you ahead... AHAHA LAMEEE

BEAT ME SOMEWHERE.

Really, go ahead. Todd Batty killed my time by using a wingsuit so I had to use it in retaliation. My ~1:04 time was without a wingsuit.

Diving headfirst in a wingsuit is apparently the fastest you can go in the game.
 
My Gold just expired. I'll jump back on and confirm you when I get the chance!

I would avoid entering any global events until you get your gold back, my friend's gold ran out, he entered into a global event and now apparently that pile of cash he earned for that event is unclaimable. He might have just done something wrong, but I sense a potential glitch with the online pass and XBL Gold.

i read that this was done on purpose. if he gets XBL Gold again, he will get all the cash.

My friend couldnt redeem the cash he earned while in silver, even after getting gold again. He has been fine since, but I think that pot of money is lost to him. Its not a huge problem, but I guess high roller events should be avoided.

found the original article. but it only covers the online pass section. well seems like a bug then which they will hopefully patch out.

for myself: already waiting for 11 days for my copy to arrive....
 

And I was so pleased with my score. I actually accidentally cashed in my combo half way through in that 59 million run so I should be able to squeeze a bit more out of it. One day, one day.

Improved my time on Bear Claw today as well, had to wingsuit almost the entire course to get ahead of of my rival. Talk about taking all the fun out of it. Not that I'm against the use of wingsuits but in all honesty they do water down a lot of the races.

How are ou doing it soultron? Seriously. Take a video of one of your runs.

On Rolling Thunder?

It's important to get Tricky off the very first jump (Right after you land from jumping out of the heli!) and then sustain it the entire race. My secret is that, right after you leave the last cave, using your boost on the very first kicker to reach the upper shelf gives you access to a killer short cut. This is where you deploy the wingsuit and divebomb headfirst (Plunging nose first in a wingsuit is the fastest you can descend in the game, apparently.) towards the final jump that leads to the finish.

I was originally doing this without a wingsuit but then Todd and Jeremy, guys from the dev team, destroyed my time with a wingsuit. I had to succumb to the evils of the wingsuit to reclaim my time from them. :c

Just select my name using the Rivals wall and then find my time on Rolling Thunder. This will allow you to view my ghost data.
