Staying true to real motocross racing, how you take certain jumps and set yourself up for the next jump will determine your placing. On the more wide-open baja and enduro events, you can ride at a higher speed, but planning the best path is the most important factor. On any course, you can catch some serious air. While it s always fun, it s not always the best way to win. Either way, the bikes tend to get a little bit light at times.
Body lean plays a big part in successful landing.
Applying the brakes in mid-air can be used as a way to get down faster and lean forward. While some of the air you can catch suspends reality a bit, it keeps the game from taking itself too seriously. The aforementioned 'lightness' of the bikes also has an effect on turning. This is the only real gripe I have with MM2. At times, the bikes tend to slide like they re on ice.
