we'll take away the wingsuits option for the coming events and make it a battle of skill on the snow only. personally i'm faster on the ground but like i said my kids swear by wingsuits.
why do you want the ghosts turned off?

Otherwise it just becomes a follow the leader competion. If I've spent over 2 hours on a Tuesday finding a quick route down the hill I don't really want someone to come on with 10 minutes to go and copy the run and beat it just because they have a slightly better mod. Anyone can do that. If someone's got a faster time the challenge is for the individual to better it by finding a quicker way down the mountain and not by just copying someone elses hard work.

never thought of it that way! i guess i belong to the "not-so-good-b-class" of riders and love having a ghost ahead of me. lol! what do others think? shall we go a week without ghosts? i'm ok with it, like i said, i won't be competing for the top positions...

Not at all! I've been a member over on the fansite for SSX since 2002, it was posted over there, they have a similar debate about the use of wingsuits. I know for a fact that Todd Batty is a big fan of them and has posted some insane times using the wingsuit method. I'm not a fan personally, I think it would be a good idea to somehow differentiate between wingsuit obtained times to standard times though.
Cheers Vissy! I wasnt sure if we had to do some sort of initiation to be so famillia with ya 
Whats the site, mecurycity? let us know.
Re; bolden
Yeah having a way to differentiate between wing suit times or even other gear. That goes for GE and explore, would be GREAT but that is the whole lasting score board again too, isnt it? "if we were all devs wouldnt we all get the games WE exactly want..(dont even mention ME3 ending thats crazy stuff (i havnt played ME's tho so..))
Theyve given us a game were all still playing 'barr Jacko' (lost interest, now you have challengers ehh?) and talking about at great length....
""English n MCMAC""
I have often thought that yea Ghosts are nice the way SSX Multi is set up. Its gives you someone to play against, BUT if you think you have a perfect line in a race or survival, i know i have it in the back of my mind that when someone has topped your score, have they just followed your ghostsline?? When me n A-rod were going pound for pound a couple of weeks ago, (which was some of the best gaming ive felt in ages) we were taking dif' lines and it was upto whoever was third to decide who they followed but...?
Anyways the misses has just got back so thats my rant over, sure your all gratefull to her.
Dont take it too serious gaming is gaming its ment to be fun not frustrating..
PS. Thanks to ALL you Forum SSX guys n gals it seemed (sometimes) from the outside being just a forum reader for MANY years that it was sort of an exclusive club to post but So far you guys have made me feel very welcolme!
Tho that might change after this epic post.. (could of been longer....edit)
Level 3
I've don't begrudge anyone following ghosts within the game to learn how you got your time but I do begrudge someone when I've been sat there for 2 plus hours perfecting the run for someone to come on with 15 mins to go and just copy what you've done. There's not really any imagination involved, anyone can do it ..... but I totally agree with englishgolfer and WinnieP about having a ghost to race. Top fun all the way especially when you beat it !! No easy answer on this one, especially when you have foot in both camps. I'll still be there either way on the dot on a Tuesday.

Nawr! You are most welcome! We really do not bite, well most of us don't! 
Level 5
I think the ghosts are the last little saving grace that keeps it competitive for me. I love whizzing by ghosts (or trailing behind them) as it gives me an inkling as to whether or not I should restart and try another tactic to get down the mountain quickly or keep going because I'm going faster than I was on my last attempt.
It's bad enough we can't directly race/trick it with each other so I've come to like the compromise (Not that I had much choice 
) of having ghosts to compete against.

I'll second that WinnieP !! Not like some of the other forums on here where some people just seem to want to put people down for asking a simple question.
i've been thinking more about the ghosts. personally i think we should keep them in as this is "in principal" the only way we can physically compete against each other (apart from competing against others actual time and scores). for me, the challenge since the demo was to beat that ghost (mainly Tilly's ghost!).
however, i do see the point of not having ghost so i've suggested over in Canonbait's thread that we could have some drops without ghosts. tbh, i'm still hoping that this new dlc that's coming will involve some form of proper online gaming thus nulifying the need for ghosts.
