BadStar, It looks like you and I along with Wedgewood are on the same time zone.. EST We should keep this in mind for some online game play.
Sounds good to me! Just PM me anytime u think u will be on or about to fire up "race 2" ;p.
PM me all day, doesn't bother me a bit, maybe it will help me know when u guys are on
EDIT: I am use to military time due to work.. so I was thinking the forum was on 24hr but its not.. typo, I'm -5 hrs from forum.
Note: updated my signature with this info so its always known and maybe we should all agree to set up races based off forum time so we don't have to question when?

Total sausage fest here then? ;D
Based on the age and the apparent absence of women, you could unequivocally call this "A Man's Sim". You sure don't see any punks in here saying "the track is AIDS" or "someone with Downs made this" like you might elsewhere. No names mentioned.

Can't agree more (and it's more or less the same in GPB's community).
I'd speculate the reason is that GPB/MXB are too difficult for the average youngster.
Which is not at all surprising considering the pranksters are accustomed to playing smartphone games ::)
Hope it stays like that. But I've seen bad vibes in the KRP community :)
It's a tough call to make though.. On one hand we don't want this community saturated with the kind of people who have ruined the other motocross game, but on the other hand they could be the biggest market. My guess is that given the limited options most people interested in playing a motocross sim will have picked up MXS at some point..
Cobra, who are the 35 plus MCM guys? I don't recognise any names except for 22ryan and that was only by chance lol..

I know, I know. But I prefer 3 friends than 20 "friends".
That said, it's not me poaching the money of the licenses so ... :)
I was talking about age ... average is about 35 ... I think we have a hand fill of MCM guys from 1998-2004 ish

well i guess i can be considered older because i dont act my age and sure as hell dont play smartphone games i get no enjoyment from them but i feel like a baby compared to the community but honestly thats fine cause i dont get along with my age group.
North west.
England.
Age 45.
1st mx game was mcm and I am 30.. so I'm not sure why 35 is the limit but I get it! Either way I played mcm, mcm2 and have only dreamed of something as good for years. Mxb is my new mcm..
I also played a flight sim on floppy disk..so yea, I'm not sure exactly when the age means everyone is a call of duty player..but I'm sure 30 is getting close, like 28. Lol
Anyway, if we decide we like the community how it is then we can simply have a white listed, realism forum alot like arma.. kids will be everywhere but you can easily be a part of a large, mature and serious community with no kids or trolls to hassle u. Btw all mature kids don't count, join us!
I think girls are less into riding mx in the first place, and mx is not as popular as we may wish in games as a sport. so they won't find this game until it gets bigger..just an opinion obviously
So, i lived in a town where we didnt have much tv, not to mention internet, my dad bought me a honda qr50 and i was so happy, all i wanted to do is was to ride bikes like my brothers, both had xr250, later had a xr 100 and we were on vacations in the country, i was 8yo, we were in a town when we came inside a shop, i was looking around when suddenly i saw this...
(http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/2/20553/1150424-motocross_madness_cover1.jpg)
Fuck, i really lost it, played it around a year, all day everyday, freeride was so fun, the tricks, the tracks, everything, was the best game ever!
then in the early 2000´s i has acces to internet with a 56k modem, and suddenly i tryed to search for motocross madness 2 and guess what, i found it! :o
i played that game for so much time, i still do from time to time, jumping into the moving train was the best!
and this intro/song stuck forever.
https://www.youtube.com/v/EO54BRtnEjc
That´s pretty much my history, then i didnt had enough money to buy motocross bikes so i sticked to jump bicycles, i still do jump bikes, love it ;D
Sounds familiar! I played the crap out of mcm, but I only ever made supercross tracks for it in the track editor where pieces snapped together.
Then my local computer shop had mcm2 on the shelf one day and I couldn't believe it.. None of this watching trailers for a game a year before release back in those days huh! Got it home and it was the best game I'd ever played.. Then finding the msn gaming zone was like first entering the matrix. I'd played lan games with my brother plenty but never online games as the small village I grew up in had the slowest dial up known to man. Mind blown..
Loved making tracks and skins for mcm2 and couldn't wait for the next game I could do the same in.. Shame that didn't happen until 11 - 12 years later!
Loved the intro mace.. That got me into incubus big time.
Anyone remember the 5 videos that came up if you left it for too long? Think that was mcm1.. I used to watch supercross and mxgp on eurosport but seeing free ride in those videos was a total revelation.
I dont think i was old enough to fully enjoy MCM, but the little time i did spend in that game was amazing! Great story mace-x, it's so weird to hear how you got 56k modem in the early 2000's. We have had Fiber internet in some towns since the late 90s hehe.

holy shit, thats insane! i remember having 56k in the late 90s early 2000s, i also worked at a cybercafe as a network admin when i was 15 (1999) they had 112k isdn lol. man, some good times! i remember playing the hell out of MCM, i always spent more time on MCM2 though, i swear that CS/Diablo2 were the best pc games going :D the goldenage of motocross, watching terra firma and crusty demons, playing MCM2 and Ricky Carmichael Championship MX haha :D
https://www.youtube.com/v/CvZ6DZ8ljBI
Too right gdub :) I still have a stack of copied CD's of all the crusty films!
As for connections, the village I grew up in didn't get anything better than dial up until at least 2005. I remember my dad getting dual ISDN and it being amazing for about 3 months lol. Didn't have a clue what people from the states playing MCM2 were on about when they said they were on cable haha..

That was my favourite game for yearssss. Mi juego favorito locooooo jajaja.
And I started to follow incubus too trough the mcm2 intro.
I remember the big ski jump and the "asphalt" paths. I loved it!
I guess Sweden as a nation have been among the front countries when it comes to developing the internet technology for a while. Most citys and most suburban areas have fiber connections. It's only the countryside that are lacking fiber but they can often get 4g or ADSL/VDSL so they can get anything from 8-60mbit.
I played a lot of MCM and MCM2, and I had an US Robotics modem (love that name btw). Anyone remember Edgar Torronteras' Extreme Biker (Sierra 1999) :) I used to work as a video game reviewer so I got a copy of most games (some were "gold"-discs or wierd variants were the copy protection of a pre-release game could be a dongle you plugged into the printer port"). Also have "classics" like Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing and Castrol Honda Superbike 2000 to name a few of the less popular ones.

I played the crap out of the MCM2 demo since it allowed online play. Can't remember my online name, lol. Didn't buy it until too late to enjoy much online play since I was busy learning Grand Prix Legends. 56k modem FTW! I still have my 7 floppies for Windows 3.1 and some games like Grand Prix and Flight Sim 4 or 5. Good times.

Grand Prix !!
But I have to admit that, despite I'm not a big car sim fan, the strongest memory I have from that era is Indianapolis 500: 1 track (oval) and that's all. I played it 100% length plenty of times. And no, it had no online :)
Indy 500 was great.. I used to play that constantly. My earliest memory of a racing game on a home pc was Death Track... Now looking back it looks dated as balls but I guess back then your imagination filled in the blanks.

yeah, Indianapolis 500 was good. And of course Geoff Crammond Grand Prix and the ones that followed in that series. Found this and it gave me flashbacks (in a good way). :) Lot of hours spent on that one...

Thx for posting those 2 vids..especially mcm2 intro!
Time flies.. last time I went to a SX (before atlanta this year) was in New Orleans, and I watched Ricky and McGrath battle it out.. Windham, Pastrana etc and 2-strokes everywhere..maybe 1 or 2 thumpers rolling by.
Ok, now I am off to play mxb..duh

Not quite, my first multiplayer experience like that was two old PC's (then new), 20 meter ethernet cable going from one side of the house to the other, Rise of the Triad / Doom / and some racing games I can't remember..
Amazing experience, changed my world!

For some of us, when we started playing, online was not even there.
One of the first thing I saw on a PC (an mstrad 1512 if I recall correctly) was this:
https://www.youtube.com/v/22sJUYsEMwM
Not to talk about the stuff I had before PCs existed: Spectrum ZX81, Commodore Vic 20, ... I still remember soldering myself a memory expansion for the Vic20: a mighty 16KB !!
My parents had the Speccy with the tape deck and keyboard all in one.. The mighty 128k!
I was watching my PS3 ripping through a download the other day and was reminded how long it would take to d/l a 1mb file on my 2400 baud modem on the Amiga. 45 minutes!!! Had to pass the time, like do laundry, overhaul the transmission and move my weights to the attic. :o

Used to eat those sugar packets you're supposed to put in the coffee and Alpine-Ski and play Hockey.
X-games/Vans Triple Crown sealed the deal fo me, mcm2/MTX:mototrax was where it's at (The Big Table to Gap to Mellow Landing on the the St louis SX track was frickin ridonculous to clear.) then mvaU, mvaR, mvaA, then finally submitted to the Sim, Now here after 5 Dirt/MX bikes and a Street bike(+ cars, trucks, tractors, skidsteers, go karts, and Tonkas, and the Bigwheel, and bikes/tricycles) Crusty Demons and Nitro Circus and the infamous Fresno Smooth got me through the Injury, still can't through a ball worth a damn though, lol.

Been watching this game's development for quite a while, transferring from Mx Simulator. Really enjoying the game!
