Re: [Smackhead] Vtec Question
What sort of jumps will you be doing?

Slider up? Slider down? Terminal?

Solid objects? Bridges?

Mainly slider down and solid objects, how ever i still would like the ability to do slider up/terminal jumps as well if thats possible. Is there a compromise?

Sure. Bottom skin inlets won't hurt your ability to do slider up or terminal jumps. They'll just add cost.

If you're doing a lot of solid, slider down objects I'd probably go with bottom skin inlets on the middle 5 cells. I like having the center inlet larger than the others, but I' not sure if Apex has that as an option or not at this point.
