Speed Racer Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Current wording: No leaning forward or backward on a bike during a pursuit, as it provides an unrealistic speed boost. New wording: No leaning backward or wheelieing on a bike during a pursuit, as it provides an unrealistic speed boost. Rationale: Wheelieing is the only unrealistic speed boost at play. Not only does leaning forward only provide a marginal boost in speed compared to wheelieing, but it is also realistic in that people do it in real life and that actual aerodynamics supports a boost in speed from doing so. See the following video (at the proper time stamp) for evidence of how small of a speed boost leaning forward actually gives in GTA. 3 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverMind Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 +1. Always thought it was weird you couldn't lean forward since, like you said, its something that happens IRL all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMasterSplinter Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 +1 I don't feel it gives you an unrealistic speed boost, I tested in game as I wanted to know the fastest way to drive around in the city and it never gave me more speed like wheelieing.

CalvinKlein Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 +1,. agreed on 100% i dont think its nonrp to lean forward as irl you are kinda forced to if ur going at very high speed unless you wanna deal with great air resistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil McGee Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 +1 find it unatural not to lean forward on a bike. I do agree popping wheelie's is a bit unrealistic and should not be allowed in a pursuit unless you're mounting a step or some other small obstacle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCactus Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 +1 The sound and the posture change but in game you don't actually go faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesisjiji Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 +1 leaning forward looks way cooler and doesn't give big speed boosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivern389 Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 +1 leaning back forming a wheelie does generate an excessive speed boost that would normally not be there however forward leaning is totally normal in my opinion as you do naturally do it IRL when going at fast speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjaer Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 +1 as leaning forward gives you the marginal speed boost that it would irl and is not stupidly unrealistic like how GTA handles wheelies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bala Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 Leaning forward makes sense, popping wheelies and increasing speed doesn’t really. But then I only ride the bus IRL so what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexalex303 Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Leaning forward on motorbikes is currently considered realistic and a fair action to perform even during a pursuit. Archived. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
