Uplay Recommended Drop #51
This week we’ve got our standard 5 track Uplay Recommended drop. I know, “We want more tracks!”, so do I, but we’ve got to give LzZzR a little time to breathe, right? (I really don’t think so, but Shogun insists). Anyhow, 5 awesome Community Created tracks are busting out into the world of Track Central.

Is there something for you? Well, we really hope so. Today’s mix is from Medium to Extreme, so it may be for the more seasoned Trials riders, but there should be something for players of all skill levels.
You’ve already read 50 of these introductions so far, so let’s wrap this one up and jump into the tracks.

A . I Machine Mainframe by funktastic-
Another one on the “Oh man, getting this track done smoothly is going to end with me throwing my controller through the wall” list; Machine Mainframe demands practice as throttle and speed control are key to not over or under jumping the technical gaps. It’s a perfection demanding track that fits perfectly in the Hard difficulty range. Be prepared to drop some time trying for platinum, riders.

Cactus Canyon by Duke_of_Dirty
Welcome to the Wild West. Be prepared for pit falls, explosions, decrepit wooden buildings and possibly some gunfire. Cactus Canyon is a fast flowing track, but beware; the rope bridges might just trip you up. Easy enough for new players, and featuring some pretty slick timesavers, Duke’s track has enough challenge for any player.

Winter Miner by ConfusedMuscles
Now we’re talking about the toughest of the bunch today. Let me reiterate what I just said; this track is DIFFICULT. Think “Devil’s Beak” on some of these obstacles. Time restraints left me unable to play enough to check out any kind of flowing speed run line, mainly because my 30 minutes weren’t enough to get better than 20+ faults, but everything else in this track is top notch. Animations, weather setup, ConfusedMuscles even used lava stalactites (stalagmites?) as icicles. It just works.

“bapteme du feu” by IZEZ PRiNCESS
The latest IZEZ track is hot, and I don’t just mean because it’s the opposite of CM’s track in that it’s set in a molten volcano core that actually feels like the heat might be damaging your eyes, or that this is a super-fast and flowing track to run, so break out the Roach. It’s also an insanely fun track to run. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll mess up, catch a tire on a rock, flip onto your head and silently (maybe not so silently) curse IZEZ, but then you’ll restart the track and play again… and again.

Atomic Massacre by Nova Dark Storm
Nova has a knack for making challenging tracks. I didn’t mean for that to rhyme, but it did. The difficulty in Atomic Massacre seems perfectly dialed in. Sure some of the obstables are hard, but they aren’t TOO hard. It’s relatively easy to pass, but difficult to get a perfect run. I fumbled my way into a platinum, but it’s sloppy and I want to quit writing and go back and improve my run, and that, friends, is the definition of an awesome Trials track. Throw in some track challenges and a superb attention to detail and this is a track not to be missed.
