Track: (-IL-) Chasing White Ice
Creator: Lokusin
Difficulty: Medium
Mode: Trials
It’s been unusually warm in Helsinki this year and despite being mid-February we’ve yet to have any proper snowfall. Since it looks like we may never get any real snow I’ve used my Staff Picks this week to revisit some older tracks and fantasize about the winter wonderland I wish we had right now in Finland. This first track comes from all the way back in April 2019 and features a bright colorful trek through the snow. This one is fun and light and reminds me of what my morning commute in February should be. Thanks, Loki for giving me a taste of the winter I’m missing.

Track: Solstice (Extreme)
Creator: ZZZZZZach
Difficulty: Extreme
Mode: Trials
For my second pick, we trade winter day for a magical winter night. This one is a nerfed ninja track from the incredible creator ZZZZZZach who has been doing a wonderful job making his amazing ninja creations accessible to mere human players. That’s not to say the track is easy, it’s still extreme, but it’s a doable extreme, not one that still rides the line between extreme and ninja, as many ninja nerfs do. The line is fun and challenging and it’s visually stunning. These are the snowy nights I dream about during these long, dark, nights we have this year. Thanks, ZZZZZZach for a wonderful winter fantasy land.

[LD1] Freedom Fighters
Creator: Lionden13
Difficulty: Hard
Mode: Trials
There’s some much happening on Lionden’s latest creation and the amount of detail is phenomenal. Helicopters will follow you, fighter jets will take off and there’s even a gunfight starting to break out and, AND amidst all of that! There’s an incredible fun driveline to ride through. You’ll chain multiple jumps together and catching some airtime with the choppers, but once you start nailing the flow down, you will start to feel more like ‘Maverick’ and less ‘Topper’.

Track: - R E A C T O R –
Creator: MrPutterPants
Difficulty: Medium
Mode: Trials
Reactor scratched that futuristic itch I'd been having lately. This track took me back to Fusion vibes while welcoming me to the future. The driveline was fun and clean and had multiple lines, which added a nice depth and complexity to the track. This is definitely a fun one to check out.

Track: “Junk”
Creator: IIWICKEDII
Difficulty: Medium
Mode: Trials
Junk was anything but. As you drive through this whimsical track you'll be amazed by the stunning visuals around you. Don't let the Medium difficulty throw you off, as there are a couple of checkpoints that make this track a real challenge. My hats off to IIWICKEDII for creating this stunning apocalyptic wasteland.
