Twittering on about bikes again so stop now if youre not interested,  i'll save you some time!! 

Was thinking about funny or peculiar things that have happened to me and mine and me owd mates today, mainly because a mate of mine who has raced the TT for our shop Robinsons for years on a Daytona 675 and his Suzuki GSXR750 me thinks too... finally won a TT race last week in a clean emissions class, which means electric bikes hahaha top speed of around 130mph or something?

Even though it is not long enough there are a few places on the new island that lets you drift for a bit to ascend or descend a building inner workings. My favorite happen to be the parking garage, yes it is very short, just 3 or 4 floors, but still funny.

hi people i know its a glitch but it still works and i can't contain my self, so i went on the hunt for the best locations for spins and barrel rolls.

well heres the results on the new island

my best flat spin is 2477 degees with no glitch,  and 5923 degees with glicth.

my best barrel rolls are 7 with no glitch,  and 20 with glitch  :)

i will keep these locations to my self for now.

now you know its possible, have some fun looking.

Big Surf Island.      Woo hoo.     

Now 1 day on & it's complete. (Maybe not so big after all)

I'm only 9 challenges away from completing everything & getting the P12 diamond. Question is, can i be bothered. With all the newbies who don't seem to have a clue what the online challenges are about, it's getting increasingly more annoying.

It seems that the hardest part of the game (for me, anyway) is finding another 7 players who actually know what they're doing. Unfortunately i now find myself thinking WAS IT ALL WORTH IT?

After playing the Island for a bit longer yesterday, it feels more than just an added area of Burnout Paradise, it feels more like Paradise 1.5.

So, what direction will CG take with Paradise 2? (if there is going to be a Paradise 2) What would you like to see? What bits of Burnout Paradise should they keep? What should they expand on? What should they scrap??

There is an interesting Tech article on Eurogamer, an interview with Richard Parr and Alex Fry from CG.

Tech Retrospective: Burnout Paradise

Worth a read if technical talk doesn't make you fall asleep, or you could read it just before bed!  

I think it's worth the 1000 points for the 7 hours play I had including all the 10 challenges done 10 times in Multi-player, people were desperate for that P12 Diamond, lol. (I was on and off line during those 7 hours, so I could have done it a lot faster, but I don't want to rush my 1000MSP, lol)

I literally only have a first impression, as I have felt off colour all day so wasn't up for playing for long, however for what it's worth here are my first impressions.

The Dust Storm is a pretty cool car and the Island seems really big, even tho on the map it doesn't look all that.

I personally have no objections to the cars that are included with the Island, although I know a few burners are less then happy about them not being 100% original. I haven't unlocked any yet... really need to play more, hope I feel up for it tomorrow!
