Skids, slides, and a wheelie I can hold — Aftercurrent

Version 0.2.1 is where the riding started to feel good enough to keep building the world. Hard turns can now break the rear tire loose, and holding a wheelie no longer flips the bike backward every time.

Changelog

Added rear-brake skids during hard turns and smaller powered slides under acceleration.
Added recoverable grip, rear-wheel spin, tire marks, and skid audio feedback.
Adjusted wheelie assistance to make an ordinary held wheelie manageable while preserving physical overextension and brake recovery.
Verified sustained wheelies and skid recovery in the riding tests and native city checks.
