More leaderboard features/categories.

I noticed Future Motion has not been online on their own forum for almost a year now so this is probably going to be a waste of my time... but at least I can’t say I didn’t try.

Could we have more categories in the leaderboards? Maybe add filters by country/state so then people can compete with others and have a chance to make it to the leaderboards without having to first ride 10,000 miles or have a 365+ day streak.

I feel like it’s virtually impossible for the new riders to make it up there into any current categories.

Yeah they could go the extra mile and add some cool badges or accolades you can earn... anything to add to the competitive nature of the game haha.

@Ramphex Most Miles/Kms in 1 day and Most Elevation Gain and Loss in a Single Ride would be great additions in my mind. Top Speed is one I think they had but resulted in too many injuries. The Day Streak and Overall Mileage are basically the opposite. They promote keeping your board and yourself healthy enough to maintain. When I first got my XR, the only ranking was overall mileage. Float for the love of it or for the records. Records are meant to be broke.

I love this Idea. For years BMW did this with their motorcycles. They would send you badges you could attach to your motorcycle for 100k, 500k, and 1000k mileage. As a game addict I can appreciate the power of worthless achievement badges.
So, since FM seems to forgotten about their forum maybe some enterprising graphic artist with a decal cutter could offer some fender stickers for a price.

Badges/achievements do sound pretty cool. Kind of like how Apple went with in the Apple Activity for the Watch.

@Future-Motion take a look here for some interesting ideas. I like the badge idea, make it kind of like the app untappd (for those crazy folks that like beer 🍺🍺).... Users could add trails to ride then others get badges for riding posted trails...

Some nice ideas here. Unfortunately the app is not accurate nor reliable. I’d hope they could get that part fixed at least first before moving on to new features.
