There are 6 events unlocked via sponsors, and I can personally confirm that the one I've unlocked so far, Ford's The Dive, counted towards finishing my "incomplete" air race stat.

Ford:
The Dive
Food Out

Saloman:
Masterclass

Red Bull:
Rampage 2017
Session

Rossignol:
Man VS Wild

That said, I still have 6 events "missing" and only 5 left to unlock via sponsors.

This has been asked about a handful of times already, and I'll keep throwing in my support for it

Ubisoft seems to be aware that people are interested in surfing in general, but making the surfboard treat shallow water like deep snow would be a fine fix in the meantime, IMO

@k0libree I think I completed a side objective on something but didn't win it, so it has a star and doesn't count as complete for the stat.

Thanks to your breakdown of which missions you have before sponsor task unlocks, though, I can tell I messed up a bike race somewhere, so I guess I'll be redoing all of those! Much appreciated.

Throwing in my support for this as well. As long as the surfboard can treat water as if it were deep snow, I'll be happy.

@k0libree Ubi-Swaguchi, the CM for RR, left Ubisoft late last year or early this year. There has been no official communication of this, no passing of the torch, and the other Ubi "CM"s who supposedly handle RR don't even post in the official Discord at all. There's a combined total of less than 20 messages from every member of the RR/Ubi team in the official Discord.

Some great community management and engagement, Ubisoft; no communication on the delay of the X-Games "event" was really A+.

Tweets are not community engagement, btw.

This is easily the most unprofessionally handled Ubi title I've played since The Division, but I don't expect this post will last long on the official forums.

Can confirm

@ubi-smash I did not receive the compensation helmet. See below for the bunny suit.

@ubi-milky Can confirm the proper helmet from this outfit was attributed to my account today.

@ubi-keo Driver update for my Xbox controller hasn't resolved the issue.

@ubi-keo

• Does this only occur when you have a specific sport equipped (eg. Wingsuit) or does it happen with any of them?
  • I have noticed this most often while sitting on a bicycle in the social hub, but it's happened out in free roam while traveling as well; I cannot say with any certainty it's limited to a particular sport, however.
• How often do you experience this?
  • A few times an hour if I'm in the social hub
• Does switching to another sport stop the vibration or only is you fall/crash?
  • Switching to another sport does not resolve the issue. Crashing with any sport besides wingsuit/air in general does not seem to resolve the issue unless I crash very hard. Sometimes switching to rocketwings, launching, and boosting fixes it, but it's not as consistent.
• Check that you have the latest drivers installed for your Xbox controller
  • I installed a minor update and will post in this thread again with an update as to whether or not the issue is resolved.

@zeemfrostmaw

For bike races:

• Folding Bike
• Pizza Delivery Bike
• Grandpa Bike
• Destroyed Bike

For snow races:

• One Foot Board
• Ski Blades
• Wood Ski Blades

Personally I'd go with the One Foot Board over any of the other options for snow races, but you can basically choose whatever for the bike races since you'll be uncompetitive no matter what.

@b4ne1 There are more PVP modes than we can currently see.

During beta, there was a Tricks FFA mode in the Tricks Battle menu. I'm guessing the SDB Welcome playlist has, for some reason, replaced all of those for the duration of the pre-season, but even if it hadn't, I don't want to spend most of my time queueing just to complete tasks, even if I could pick the exact mode I want to play.
