If you drive fairly smoothly, pay attention to the conditions and adjust your speed and line accordingly, learn the strengths and weaknesses of your vehicle, and keep your eyes on the road, you shouldn't need
fantastic skid control skills.
Skids and effects in general all looks pretty decent and rider animations in particular are
fantastic; should you shunt another rider you visibly nearly fall off and sometimes when you spin out and lose
control your rider ends up with both legs on one side of the bike, struggling to balance which is a neat and realistic looking touch.
