    I just tried for the fourth time to win the bike race up north of Alderney in Westdyke that goes over the beach and covers the same terrain as Nico's final mission.

    The first time I lost just by being behind.

    The second time I was in the lead, but I got thrown off my bike when I ran into a wall and I ended up sandwiched between the wall, a tree and another biker who slammed into me as I fell off the bike. The game kept saying "Get back on the Bike", but I couldn't because the other racer just sat there and pounded me over and over with his baseball bat until the timer ran out and said I had abandoned the race.

    The third time my bike died as I rounded the first curb, maybe the guy who was hitting me had also been damaging the bike. Who knows.

    Last time was the weirdest. After getting a new Lycan, I held 2nd place for most of the first 2 laps, then at the start of the 3rd lap, the guy in first place exploded and the race ended. I just got a "Race Abandoned" message on the screen even though every other racer was still in the race and I was still on the race path.

    Guess I just got to try again.

    Hmmm I have never seen someone spontaneously explode in that game. But to be honest, that sounds fucking awesome.

    I really really enjoy the bike races in that game, ROAD RASH HELLS YEAH.

    Although I haven't encountered any of those problems.

    I've never lost a single players race. It just doesn't seem possible.

    I beat it on the next try and nothing strange happened except on the last lap two guys that were fairly even with me  took off straight down the road on the first turn and never rejoined the race.

    I think he must have run into something and either his bike exploded or some car he hit exploded. I was going fast and rounding a corner when it happened, so I barely saw what was happening.

    Aha, I laughed again. You got some stupid AI on your copy.
