After Taking a break from Mx Simulator, Atom Holm returned to official racing this season and we got in touch with him to get his thoughts on how the comeback has gone so far.....
My season so far has been pretty average. Though it's not surprising giving the fact I'm not sinking as much time into this game as I used to and I just have a different mentality than I did in the past. I can't lie it's been hard adjusting to not being a consistent front runner because it's all I've known since 2018 but it's the reality I needed to come to grasps with. I took some time off half way through Supercross because I was just so burnt out and it honestly wasn't healthy for my mental health. It's hard to imagine but only that small amount of time off really put me back, and especially considering the season I had last year, I didn't really leave on a good note so I had some extra work to do. Once Outdoors came around and I started playing again and was enjoying my time back on the game! I've reverted back to my old stability and suspension and that helped a ton. Going into the season I told myself I didn't want to be a title contender because it sucks out the very little enjoyment I find in this game but I still wanted to do my best. To an extent, I think it's going to plan but I don't think I will ever enjoy losing. On that note I would like to win a moto by some point before the end of the season but if that doesn't happen, I'm still happy with my results! There's tons of new talent this year and it's great to see! I have gained massive respect for everyone still winning races and being in title contention. It's a grind not many people can or will go to. The level of competition in this game is so underrated because of the lack of outside support, which to my understanding would stem from the lack of inside support. I don't want to get into that but to me that's the hardest part to see. Ultimately this game is ego-driven and I don't think that's a terrible thing unless in the wrong hands. It's taught me how to face adversity, discipline, self belief, and even communication/pr skills and I hope for it to do the same for the new generation of racers. Vertical Divider
