There were times when lost the biathlon when I was ahead of the pack and trying to fly through the rings and was bounced around from rubberbanding and wound up in last place (there were only two other racers, and the map was nearly empty; I had to figure out how far back I had to go through the hoops again to complete the race).
But now, it was just between myself and another racer. He had a better board, one level above my Future hoverboard, but when I was moving forward slower than I should have been that was red flag, but I kept on going. By the time I approached the last overhang/arc, the board disappeared as my character ran in place at an accelerated rate and my character ran upwards diagonally when I hit the spacebar as I hit a ramp. I could not alter my course, like when floater has this type of bug.
Since I was well above the water, the only options I'd have is to use the floater, switch maps or transport to another location all of which would disqualify me from the race.
I know things are winding down now for the Summer Event, so I all I can ask if this can be looked into before the next time the Summer Event returns, whether for next summer or earlier (like the return of the Winter Event in April).
Edit: I ended up tranporting to Sovak's Camp. My character was still stuck in the wacky run mode, so I clicked on the floater button and my character dropped to the ground in a standard standing stance and I was able to move normally. If I tried this during the race, I would have been automatically disqualified from the race for sure.
