Uplay Recommended Drop #27
We’ve got a triple threat of Featured Builder tracks this week. These creations were too good to NOT let everyone play. Now I can continue to write all kinds of nonsense about how this is nearly the 30th time we’ve had a Uplay Recommended drop, or I can just get into the new tracks….
TAVERNIER by commendo030
Commendo030 is back with a very well done residential ruin track. I think it’s residential, it might be an abandoned prison (based on the broken bars on the windows) while the exact theme might not be clear, what is clear is that this track has a more demanding driving line than you would expect. Judging throttle and speed to make sure you don’t over-jump the landing and lose valuable time.
Check out Dean ramsay’s video showing you how it’s done.

Cristal cave by FG-312
Another of our Featured Builders who we feel has made something that everyone can enjoy; FG welcomes you to the Cristal cave. Be prepared for things to break in your first run, and don’t be angry if one of those things is your face as this track has some great -yet understated- physics and effects use.
Put eyes on this video by the builder himself!

Lost City by Kush Land 604
Let’s get this out of the way. I love technical uphill tracks. They are some of the most enjoyable tracks to me and I will never complain about them (too much). This track by Kush pressed all of the right buttons for me. Required throttle control? Check. Wicked theme? Check. Possibility to get really quick runs? Check.
Infamous Shot has us all covered by this video.

Vinyl Destination by Rishaan
So, you liked the art design of Magic Marker from Trials Evo, but weren’t a fan of the punishingly brutal extreme line? Me too, that jump can go cry in a corner. You KNOW what jump. Well, we’ve got Vinyl Destination to give us that MM-Evo feel, while being a whole new punishingly brutal track, except for maybe you ninja riders who wouldn’t be fazed by a 30ft vertical wall.
Can’t play right now? Don’t worry, you can still see the video.

Speed Trap 2014 by Cry-994
Speaking of “feels like” Speed Trap hits right in the Trials HD feels. Is the driving line the exact same? No, but it’s close enough, updated enough and packs the nostalgia punch of one of my favorite Trials HD tracks. I’m sensing a #WeekendChallenge on Twitter. There’s one minor camera issue, but I just can’t not like this track.
We’ve got you covered with this replay video.

And there it is, 5 more tracks making their way to the universal adoration of Trials riders everywhere. Good luck, good tracks. We wish you the best. Don’t forget to stop by next week, where we’ll have more Trials tracks making the leap… and I mean MORE.
