I hate races like jumps jumps jumps jumps and 20 centillion XP RACE ect as much as everyone else. However some people put as much skill and effort into "races that have ramps in them" as creators who make full on GP races. I'm going overseas for a while or I would recreate a few of his races myself. That's why I posted for him on here, no need for any sarky remarks surely?

I'll admit I like the occasional jump race too and even created one but since NODO is just about the only place for quality, serious racing, I try to keep my races in that vein during the time I have this crew as my "active" crew. You make a valid point. Jump races do have their place. I think most NoDos (me included) have strong feelings about them because of their over-abundance in random lobbies. Its the overabundance and the lack of quality. If you had told me a race like jumps jumps jumps would be verified when they did the first batch of jobs I could of done something infinitely better. Its just the most boring track ever contrived aside from The commute, Long haul, route 68 and senora freeway. The only difference from any of those tracks is 1 ramp every quarter mile... We do jump races and stunt races in this crew but they are always quality and fun. The only person on xbox that creates these races is haydugjr and he does bike stunts. The vocal people before me in this thread may not like jump races but really I think the issue is no one wants to make these races bc its a pain in the ass and by and large we are all trying to get better at "real racing" and just dont have time for that. You are just in the wrong place if you want people to make these races.

Fair point well made. I get the focus of this crew and its attitudes and by and large agree with them myself. Also I'm aware of Broughy's own views on those types of races and the influence that he brings to bear. I kind of expected this to a degree. However the simple fact is that there are over a thousand crew members and some of them probably like these races. Not sure how many come on here but members on here must know people who have jump/stunt races in their creations. Anyway will anyone give me some feedback on my new race;
"Flaming ramp, xp glitch 2000"

Eloquently put, Trowa.
I hate having to slog through 3 or 4 stunt races just to find an actual race when I quick job races. It's the reason I can't take advantage of the new "on call" feature. I'll end up in some shit jump race or some terrible maze-like race. I wish they would just split races into two categories: "stunt" races and races. Save everyone a lot of time.
That said, 4-way madness is one of my favorite tracks that no one ever races anymore.
