Just a question, has anybody jumped on a car, truck, bus, whatever, and rode it from one end of an area to the another?
I'd heard that in JGR, if you got hit by a car, it would drag you out of an area. This is sort of like that, only you choose what to ride and where you want to go!

I did that. In fact, I cause traffic and see how many cars I stopped. My record's ten.

I've tried to, but most of my attempts haven't worked too well. This morning, I actually had a pretty good run-in with a car on Dogenzaka Hill, but it only lasted a few seconds and I didn't even quite make it to Shibuya. I find it pretty hard to balance on them, considering, y'know, they're moving.
I say just grind or boost dash... A fast grind or a boost dash (Both at the top speed), according to my records, is the same speed as a car. It would be pretty fun, though, plus you get the oh-so-important bragging rights!

It's easy to do. Especially in Jet Grind Radio. It's so hard to get off them.

I've actually caught a cab at the entrance to Dogenzaka from Shibuya and rode it to the garage exit.
It's more like something I do when I'm just skating around and goofing off!

I made a chain of cars totalling 22 cars, from where the save point is, tothe dead end where you grind up the poles and then jump over the little canals.
But unfortunately, my copy of JSRF was jammed inside my xbox. When I got it out, it was scrated so deep some of the actual shiny stuff was coming off. Thanks, NickGe for picking me up a new one (which I want <cough cough>

I've noticed that different characters have better balance. . . .so far Yoyo and Jazz, work the best; but it can be done with anyone.
At Chuo Stree, it's hard to keep them on top of the car, when it starts going up hill, but it can be done.

yeah well i know that NOW.... anyway, i invented my own game kinda thing, what you do is goto Chuo street and wait till you see one of those bigish blue cars, jump infront of it to make it stop, and wait for traffic to pile up. Now jump ontop of it and wait till youre at the edge of the roof before jumpig again and see how many cars you can jump on before you touch the ground, its actually quite hard as they move under your feet.

That's pretty cool. I'm still mad that u can't jump on cars for real. That's why I leap onto the tops of the busses. Just keep urself centered and u can stay on for quite a while. I get mad when the busses go in circles, tho.

I've made a car pile up behind each other, then I've jumped from the first car to the next while they start driving. Weirdly, only Yoyo can do this without getting run down. Maybe because he's short?
