 What the heck are the pickups shown near the end of this video?  I've not
seen anything like this in *MY* SA...

sh.t, that guy's good!  No way could I balance a bike like that.  Wow.  I
am humbled.

As for the pickup, I know the location (I think) and there's nothing there
in my GTA, either.  I think it's a third-party mod, but no idea which one.

Hmmm....  Methinks the mod might have something to do with those abilities.

I thought of that, but the corrections he made had me thinking it was skill
instead of some kind of cheat.  I have no doubt there are some players who
are that good, but I sure ain't one of them.  On the other hand, I'm not
sure that loop he did was possible without messing with the game's physics
a bit.

It was also obvious he was using a mouse, and I'm strictly a gamepad guy.  
my accurace suffers because of it, no doubt, but the game is just no fun
for me otherwise.

I've never seen that pickup before, and surely if it existed in the
unmodded game I would have run across it by now in the two years I've been
squirreling around SA.  That thing stands out like a neon sign.  No way I
would have missed it.

If you ever find out the mod, please tell us.  I'd love to know what that
pickup does.

It's a repair icon/pickup - restores your vehicle to full 'health'. (I
guess any mod that uses the map editor could have 'em in there, along
with the nitrous pickups.)

As to doing that loop - I'm not much for stunts, really, but there's
some races in MTA:SA where you've got to do that stuff, and I've been
surprised at how little run-up you need with, for example, the
Sanchez, to 'stick' in a pretty good-sized loop. So, I wouldn't write
that one off as a cheat. (MTA doesn't mess with the physics engine, to
my knowledge.)

The only wrenches I can remember are in the San Fierro Arena's car
mission "Blood Bowl". They repair your car.

VC had them too I think, or am I thinking of Destruction Derby?

Cheers,
Rob

It's Multi Theft Auto (MTA)
The wrenches are health pickups.
After you've played MTA for a while, you *do* get that good. :]

I can attest to that. I've been playing MTA all too often, and yes, you
can do crazy driving/stunts after awhile. I never even knew you could
pitch the car up/down during a jump. I'm now able to land jumps better
on all fours.

I can now recover out of a bad landing that would otherwise flip your
car. The worst is barrel rolls.

I've done more two-wheel unintentional driving than I've done in all GTA
single player sessions.

It is a crazy game platform.

I still hate the stuntplane.

You obviously haven't played it enough then. :P
