Original Riders is a club that appears in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition and specializes in Sport Bikes. This club challenges the player after defeating Vito in his first and only encounter.
Summary[]
The Original Riders is first referenced when Vito begins to look for a challenger following Vanessa's second defeat.
When the player heads to Atlanta, the player can challenge Vito to be able to advance through the career, however he may become optional if the player defeated Dre and Cheng before challenging Vito.
Following Vito's defeat, the Original Riders will finally notice the player, and will invite them to take part in the club races.
However, due to the fact that the player may have not yet unlocked Class B vehicles at the time of Vito's defeat, in which the Ducati Monster S4R is the first purchasable Sport Bike the player unlocks along with the rest of the Class B vehicles, the Hotlanta Tournament is organized by the club, rewarding the winner with a Ducati SS1000 as a starter bike for the club races. This may be the first Class B vehicle the player obtains, and they may use the bike to win the Dodge Charger SRT-8 or Ducati Paul Smart 1000 before Class B vehicles are unlocked.
Upon completing the club races, the player wins the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, or is paid $10,999 if their garage is full at the time of the club victory.
If the player also completes the Chopper of America Bike Club races, the player unlocks the Kawasaki Police 1000 for use outside of Career Mode and Tokyo Challenge.
After defeating Spider, the club sends out Kioshi to challenge the player, who rides an Aprilia RSV Mille 1000R Factory. Following the defeat of every Detroit racer, Kioshi returns in a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R to represent the club in the U.S. Championship Series.
At any point in their Career Mode, once the player wins their 31st City Race in Tokyo, the club organizes a tournament that rewards the winner with the Ducati Paul Smart 1000.
Strategy[]
Depending on how the player decides to play through their walkthrough, the player can either do these club races right away or save them for after the U.S. Championship Series.
If the player opts to leave the Tokyo Challenge until after finishing the U.S. Championship Series or the entire US Career Mode, the player can also leave the Original Riders club races, in which the player can easily blitz the club races using a maxed Aprilia RSV Mille 1000R Factory or Ducati 999R, with the former being the best choice.
If the player intends to begin Detroit with the Pagani Zonda C-12 S, the recommended strategy is to win the 30 City Races in Tokyo, with the recommended part being after the player unlocks level 2 upgrades for Class C vehicles, typically using one of the Tuners in the class to help in the City Race grind. After the player opens the Original Riders Tournament, it is highly recommended that the player must have won the Hotlanta Tournament to win the Ducati SS1000 in order to save $13,495 from buying the Ducati Monster S4R, as well as already having unlocked level 1 upgrades for Class B vehicles, since Sport Bikes have the Nitrous capacity of Class D cars, which allows the Ducati to have one nitrous tank, then using the SS1000 to win the Ducati Paul Smart 1000 from the said tournament, before using the said bike to do the 14 club races for the club, which will reward them the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R, the first A-Class vehicle the player can possibly obtain, allowing them to gain entry to the Imperial Palace Tournament for the Zonda, in which the player must win 4 more races to open the said tournament, then using the Ninja bike to win the tournament for the Zonda.
