Hello. I am new here, so I'm hoping this goes like it should in the right place it's supposed to be in.

I would like to request a new subcategory to be added under the miscellaneous category, which would be for the "Close Shave" flying challenge, which is the "Under the Bridge" (50/50 bridges) and "Knife Flight" (15/15 knife edge flights) challenges combined.

The idea for this was born in the chat of FriendlyBaron's stream, when he was presented the question "Under the Bridge% when?" as a joke, following his completion on the record of the All Stunt Jumps -category. Now I laughed, just like everyone else did, until I realised it actually could have potential.

The Under the Bridge -challenge alone does not sound that interesting to do, so I thought that the completion for the Close Shave -challenge would actually be much more fun.

I've done it using the rules that are in place for the All Stunt Jumps -category, with using the mission skips for the prologue section as well as using a taxi to fast travel between places.

My test footage for this can be found here: . It's recorded with manual splits, with a finishing time of around 42 minutes. Sorry for the poor video quality, it's recorded off from my livestream footage.

Does this idea carry any weight or should it be forgotten?

I feel like this category might not be as interesting because there isn't as much that can go wrong like in all stunt jumps for example, especially because rng is involved there. Routing would probably be interesting though. I'd like having it in there.

What a good timing ! I wanted to suggest it, but you did before me (Under the bridge).

I've been working on the routing and execution for couple of weeks now, but I did not wish to present anything over here without having a video showcasing what I was on about.

I also get that in terms of "difficulty" this cannot be compared to the ASJ's, as it's more of a test of piloting skills rather than anything else, but I'd really like to see other people try this and get some times up. There could be a hidden Maverick in all of us, after all.

I wouldn't mind it being under miscellaneous. I think it's a pretty good idea and if we have other collectible categories (stunt jumps and all letters) it couldn't hurt.

I feel a miscellaneous category for anything that is distinct and that people would actually do is fine. We will hold a vote in the discord. I messaged you on twitch @Askorbiini

At a vote of 9 to 1, the new category "Close Shave" will be added.
