Two things today:
a: I'm on foot by the huge cliffs above Bayside (up left on map) looking for some nice jumps, blasting away choppers with my minigun. I've had 6 stars now for maybe 30mins, so the choppers come in pairs, sometimes side by side. Finally I get bored, so I jump off a cliff into the sea. No worries so far. This is the weird thing. I see a chopper floating in the water, so I go and stand on it. Suddenly the main rotor slowly starts spinning. WTF? I'm still standing on it and BOOM! it explodes one final time and takes me out. Cop ghosts got the last laugh.
b: I saw a cab do the motorbike stoppie-move. It kept going and going, like it was going for a record. This was by the farm with the monster truck.
I love this game. Too bad all I got left is the sad Z-missions in Fierro.

you've not yet finished the game, and yet you're able to handle 6 stars for 30 mins
right

I have finished the story. Anyone can handle six stars for 30 mins up in the mountains above Bayside. All you get there is choppers. I didn't escape six stars, which is a bit harder.

Also, when I say the rotor started spinning, I mean there was engine sound, like it was starting up. Sometime in Fierro, my car and other cars in the game have dived straight into the pavement. It can happen at steep hills when you land at the foot. I've also seen pedestrians walk knee deep in asphalt. This was near the restaurant at Gant bridge.

Yeah it's not that hard to hole yourself up somewhere and make it really hard on the cops. I used to pwn waves of them by barricading myself in one of those multi-story car parks. They didn't stand a chance.
And it's true that something interesting happens everytime I play San Andreas. It's fun.
One of my favorite Interesting Events.

I have no idea why but I had better fun playing Vice City. San Andreas is clearly superior in every way, but I guess I'm a sucker for Miami Vice.
Paco: I had a similar encounter with a chopper. Although mine happened right after I got loose of the police (I think 4 stars). I walked to a helicopter which apparently had landed on the street when the persuit stopped and it exploded after giving out the sound of engines turning off.

i like flying in a car to that mountain, using a jet pack to fly up, using a bike to jump off then the parachute to glide back down, then use my uzi to kill a passing bikie and drive really fast on the othr side of the road while listening to "I care because you do" :)

In LC and VC you really are just a punk among others, but have you noticed how in SA everything seems to be revolving around the player? Stand next to a highway and it won't take long for chaos to break out. There's more police chases going on too, more pedestrians fighting each other and so on.
One time I was under the large pier in Los Santos. A cop car skids off the road, the one crossing below the pier (I think it was the pier). The cop gets stuck and can't navigate his way out. So I stand there watching him and I'm about to go up to him and put him out of his misery, when the 'leg-warmer chick' runs up to the cop car, pulls the cop out and punches him :) Of course the cop just killed her and then calmly left his car there. It was just as if the chick was thinking the same as me, 'just put it in reverse you stupid idiot!'
