Thanx Cal..... been going through this for many decades it's just the good
stretches don't last as long as they once did. So every month or so I have a
bad week.
Most of the OTHG'STERS that have been with me from the start know my
problems and have been a big help over the years that's why I always say it's
more family than group...... .❤
I will keep you guys updated..... so if I'm not around for any length of time,
you guys are in good hands with,Rude & Gerbs to run things or if anyone has
any questions........they can help.
Take care all... will drop in when I can...... and hopefully things will look and
I will feel better by the weekend . ( signed: old Bossman ... very old ! )

@BOSS Hope your feeling your super self soon pal, take ya time, rest up and get yourself sorted. 👍🏻😘
@Cal That sure is commitment pal on Breaking Bad track. Fair play to you pal, you've put the effort in to your riding and certainly reaping the rewards 👍🏻. Mario Maker 2s quality pal. 👌🏻
@Roy Thanks again pal for the 5b track, managed a diamond on the All bikes one with the Rhino. Great look btw for the final version. 👌🏻

Evening all,
Boss, sorry to hear you've not been too grand - fingers crossed you feel better and you're back in the saddle/roaming the wasteland soon.
@cal, saw your post in the main forums. Can't argue with any of it, it's sad to see people losing their motivation to play because of easily fixed mistakes. I'm still enjoying Rising, going back to grind platinums and looking for squirrels - up to 30 now.
@roy, morfy & jet - very much looking forward to your tracks, thank you for building them👍

@Big, i know how you feel. Ive got rheumatoid arthritis in about 65% of my joints, and suffer from manic depression. There are mostly good days, but sometimes it gets really hard. Thankfully, Trials has helped a lot with keeping me focused and in good spirits (as well as my JRPGs), and having an awesome community of like minded people helps a lot to (as you already pointed out). Definitely take it easy, and we'll hold the fort down for you in the meantime;)
@Jet, thanks a bunch for the kind words! It was certainly a challenge, but has been well worth it. Just a year ago, i could barely pass a Ninja lvl 1, and never even broke 10000th place on a track. Now im speedrunning Ninja lvl 5s, and am 119th place overall on Rising. The little triumphs we achieve after struggling with a track or CP for so long, is what keeps me coming back to this series. I finally got a 1:34.615 on Wall Market, and broke a table in half in excitement (whoops!). When i beat Nicod50's time on OTHG7 Under The Sea, all the hours of grinding seemed meaningless, and i couldnt believe i had done it (i had to watch the replay 3 times to be sure). Those sort of things are what pushed me to keep going, and blast past my own limitations:) And if i can do it, anyone can (sounds sappy i know, but its true).
@Comrade. Thanks for reading that post. I wrote it after seeing another well known, incredible builder, walk away from Rising. I know it probably wont have an impact, but i wrote it for myself, as much as for Ubi/RL. Theres so many things they change slightly, or implement that would bring new Riders and oldtimers back. Im still optimistic and hopeful, but its definitely tough. Also, good luck on the Plat. chase and Squirrel hunting. I really enjoyed getting all the Squirrels. I felt like it was one of the few things that showed Redlynxs silly side. And some were pretty darn fun (as well as frustrating).
@All. Well thats enough of my yapping. Hope everyone has a great morning/day/evening/night!

Hope to see you back on your feet and exploring the wastelands soon Bossman - Best wishes to you!
@Roy Thanks again for wall market. It was an impressive track and one that will stick around in my memory :) I noticed you took VegasTrash's opinion on board and took out a few of the camera block parts near the bridges?
@ Cal Great to see your enthusiasm and love for the game. I see you contributing to lots of posts over on the forums and I will chime in on your post the next time I head over there... Gotta stay optimistic and keep faith that RL will slowly iron out the major problems. It's gutting to see our beloved game struggling to keep afloat but I have no doubt that it will.
@ Rude & Jet - Not sure about you two, but the pre-season is the worst drag of the year for me and still a whole month to go yet.
@ Morfy Looking forward to your next track and always leave a like on all your youtube vids. Keep it up pal :cool:
-
@Boss, i hope you get better soon buddy.
Maybe to much Party this month.
I wish you all the best and hope your back on your seat soon. ✌👊
@Nath, yeah bro...
I took VegasTrash his advice on the Camera block parts.
I just put a custom camera a litle higher in that area and the problem was solved. 😋
Are you building a new track at the moment?
@Jet, thanks mate but i think i like the looks from the Mantis version the most.
@Cal, your time on the all bikes version of Wall Market is crazy dude. I think it is the fastest you can be. 😂
A nice day to all of you OTHGsters 😎✌

@Roy, thanks! Although i did have 5 versions to practice on;) Still, after about 3 hours over three nights, i finally hit the magical run. When i short hopped over the last obstacle, i knew it was gonna be a good time. Hit the gong, looked up, and saw that beautiful 1:34. I think i woke the neighbors up, hooting and hollering, on top of everything else! All in all id have to say i have about 10 hours in Wall Market, which is a testament to its design, and creator. So thanks again for the build. Im sure our other builders new tracks will be equally fun. Also, I gotta tip my hat to everyone who made the OTHGs 7th anniversary as fun as it was. I might be one of the newer guys, but i certainly enjoyed it a bunch. The tracks, the LB chase, and a few battles have made for an awesome month! They also have helped to teach me some new tech, so im super grateful for that. Anyways, take it easy folks, stay cool, and may your next Ride be the best yet:)

Hi, all.
What is it with Trials for me? Gone from nailing half decent times, on tracks such as OTHG7 Under the Sea, or the Kush OTHG7 track. to being generally pretty poor. By the sounds of it though, Cal has obliterated said times. :D
Anyways, yeah just poor at present, that could have a lot to do with not playing much lol. Hardly at all the last fortnight or so. Played a few Rising customs, didn't do too great, didn't really feel like doing greater. Not a good sign for Rude. Am I maybe a little worried of Cal? Nah, had Boop, Booda, Acab, Matt, Regs and many others to worry about, it's nice to give them the odd nose bleed or two (Trials speaking lol).
Continuing, tried a few Extremes on Evo, did a bit terrible again, okay on one but struggled with a couple. Not Rude at all, ffs. Ninja maybe. :D
So yeah, things not going too well. Again, probably need to actually play ha, ha.
One good note, the return of HLC's could help. We'd all know what tracks everyone was running for a start. Different members picking tracks each week is fun. We do need new material for Rising though, not enough to keep us going too long. There's always Evo, but a lot don't have it which is a shame, but it will come into play because there are heaps of tracks on there we can still run. Fusion? We had five years of that lol.
So yeah, sure to be back amongst it before too long. I am slightly concerned though.
Mutant Roaches are pretty cool though:

In a bit, folks.
Trying to KTF.

@Rude, that definitely sounds like a Trials rut. Ill have some great days of riding in a row, then one night im absolutely terrible. Cant hit easy time saves, faulting on small obstacles, and getting so frustrated i want to throw my ps4 through the window! Then everything will come together, ill nail a great run, and its game on again. But im glad your still hopping on for short rides regardless. Before long, youll be chomping at the top of the LBs again:) And i too sweat booped and the rest of those guys. Excellent Riders, and a true terror to be chasing their times:0. In truth though, all the OTHG folks are amazing riders. Runs, Builds, Gear, Ideas, Parties, YT Vids, Forum Posts, etc., help to make everyone an important part of this awesome community. I spend as much time playing the game as i do watching vids and replays, posting short novels in this clubhouse (i.e. this one), and many other things. Also, im super excited about the HLCs! I have my notebook of over 325 Rising TC tracks ready to go (all are good to incredible. no troll or garbage tracks on my lists). And i really wish i had been there for the Fusion days. I have 2 full notebooks, with over 2200 tracks. So if for some reason Fusion ever comes back into play, im sure ill have some hidden gems ready to go. But sadly im unable to jump on Evo. Been working on a way to play it, seeing as i completely missed HD and Evo. Alright, enough from again, im out! Hope everyone stays cool, and may your next Rides be your best yet:)
