Great! You could help out by coding, mapping, modeling, skinning, or creating sounds. Whatever you think you could contribute.

I'm curios about some things... I don't know *#*#* about real programing really so I hope I don't sound stupid, nor have I played far cry yet so I don't know how it handels by default but here goes:

How will you take care of things such as:

Crashes
Acceleration/de-acceleration
Cornering and etc on 2 wheels making it look like 2 wheels and not 4 wheels...
"spline"... will you have some kind of system so it detects when your outside or on the track?

I'm not stupid I know you just started but just wondering if you have a straight plan to do these things unless they are allready built into the game engine. :p

For crashes you can eject the player from a vehicle if he collides with objects or terrain eg. if he lands upside down he'll crash.
For acceration will be the same as a buggy (in the game) probably, but we'll probably apply an inpulse object (a push object) to the front of the bike to make it "Wheelie". I'm pretty sure FarCry already has gyro physics for acceleration/de-acceleration but not balancing.
For cornering, FarCry allows vehicles with two wheels, all we have to do is apply weights at the bottom (under ground) and on the sides then adjust the weights while you're turning. Power slides are built into FarCry also.
For tracks we'll use a custom game type with check points and an area shape in the map editor to keep you on the track.
Also in case your wondering we're going to use animations and key bindings for stunts.
Hope this answers your question.
