October Featured Builder: kalianhagle
It’s fall, Trials Riders. The time of year when days get shorter, trees turn colors and things tend to get a little spooky. It’s also the beginning of a new month and time to shine our Featured Builder spotlight on another member of our tremendously creative building community. This time around we are looking at the creations of PC’s kalianhagle.
kalianhagle took some time out of his latest build to answer a few questions about custom tracks and building so enough from me, let’s hear from the man himself.

What was your first Trials game?
My first trials game was Trials Evolution Gold Edition on PC. I was immediately hooked on the awesome skill based gameplay! I think today’s games in general offer too little challenge, but trials does not!

How would you describe your building philosophy or style?
I always aim to make a track fun to ride and to look good. Sometimes I take my time decorating and adding lots of details, other times I make a track short and simple. It depends on my mood and creativity at the moment. The most important thing is to have fun building.
What makes a custom track really stand out for you?
Good use of sounds, lights and shadows. It can create a really good atmosphere. Depth and details on driving line objects, especially custom objects, makes a track stand out from the others. Combine all this with a good driving line and you have a great track!
Do you have any advice for other custom track builders?
Challenge yourself, try to build outside your comfort zone, and have fun!
