Good morning everyone! Hopefully everyone was able to wipe the dirt off their eyes and make it to work, school, or wherever you needed to be this Monday after a long weekend of bar banging on MX vs ATV Reflex. If you haven’t heard yet, MX vs ATV Reflex is in stores now!! ...read more

It has been a great time banging bars with everyone online that I’ve come across so far, and my apologies to anyone I happened to knock into the cheap seats! My reputation as being dirty…err aggressive is growing I guess. It is definitely exciting to be able to bang bars with everyone, regardless of who is laying on the backside of a berm!

In between races we’ve been posting some tips and hints on the forums to help you find your way through Reflex. How to: Backflips and 360s General Game Tips Riding Tip: Flat Sweeping Corners We should have more of these to come, so keep an eye on the forums.

Finding any technical issues with the game? We’re wanting to get to the bottom of these problems as well so drop on by and let us know! Report Issue

We released an official list of the Pro Riders featured in Reflex. We have a whole handful of men and women ATV and MX pros from across the globe, and there is definitely no shortage of competition on the Pro and All Time difficulties within Reflex. You can check out that list here.

If you’ve played Reflex, chances are you’ve swapped some paint and lost some panels in our new Champion Sport Track mode. Featuring closed circuit racing with whoops, rhythms, and hairpin turns; this new mode is an exclusive home to the UTV’s, Trucks, and Buggies within Reflex. Read more about CST here.

Destrutoid.com visited the barren deserts to check out Reflex during the US Open of Supercross, and shared this video with everyone last week. Sharing our love and passion for the offroad with our friends in the press is part of the fun of making the MX vs ATV series, and it sounds like Destructoid had a good time!

That’s all for this addition of Monday Morning Coffee, if you see Checkerz448 when you glance over your shoulder off the triple, you better cover the inside line! Until next time, grip it and rip it! Braaaap! Check out todays screens in full resolution here!

Because Tuesday Morning Coffee doesn't sound right. :) No matter when it comes out, we start writing it Monday morning so we've just kept the name.

Im sure everyone turns into a groupie when you guys come out to race, following your every line. Do you feel the pressure of everyone watching and waiting for you to get up front? Im sure the videos start recording and everyone thats spectating is watching you RBW guys race. Wow, thats a lots of pressure for you guys...lots of pressure! Naaaa, forget that. Im sure nobody is recording your races. No pressure at all. :P

Hold the stunt modifier and lean back approaching the lip. As you start to go up the takeoff of the ramp, roll your stick up to the right or left similar to a scrub. Once you are airborne, use the gas and brake, as well as manipulate the sticks to speed up or slow down your rotation.

I do not mean for this to be offensive in any way but what is the point of Monday Morning Coffee? New information is rarely divulged; most of it can be found in other posts. All that's going on is summarizing what has already been posted the week before. Which brings me to my next question: why does it take so long to write these things? Aside from the screenshots, no new information needs to be gathered. All you're basically doing is restating what has already been said. In all honesty, I don't think it should take one person no more than an hour to write a Monday Morning Coffee post. Maybe it's me looking at this the wrong way; all MMC is supposed to be is a summary of past posts. Again, I'm not trying to offend any of you guys, just was curious about the nature of these posts.

You are right, it does only take approximately an hour to write the article. I usually try to mix something in other than just a summary, but sometimes I'm a bit more busy than others. There is more to posting than just writing the articles.
