    Uplay Recommended Track Drop #43

    It’s Thursday!

    Thursday, Thursday, THURSDAY! This Thursday we’re bringing you more non-stop Trials action, more spills, more thrills and more motorcycle revving sounds than you can handle! Join us at Track Central auditorium for the debut of UPLAY RECOMMENDED 43! Our video capture station was out of order this week, so other than the included images the only real way to see these tracks is to get them on Track Central. That’s a win to me!



    This Thursday starts right now!

    Contamination by Lukeyy19
    You all might remember Lukeyy19 from Track Jam PAX East, and he’s back with an awesome flowing track that has comedy gold at the beginning. The whole track looks like it takes place in an industrial waste facility that has been really poorly managed and the track is LONG. We’re talking over a minute on a zero fault run.



    [S] S.T.A.L.K.E.R. by Chaaampy
    I was waiting for the huge explosion in the background and Chaaampy didn’t disappoint. Great flow, attention to detail and more secrets than should be possible round out S.T.A.L.K.E.R. into an amazing Trials experience everyone should expi… play. That everyone should play. If you can beat that Ninja line, then you are my new hero.



    Kingdom in the Sky by AchillesWing
    Don’t let the soothing sounds and mellow theme fool you, Kingdom in the Sky is a bit of a little jerk. Tricky obstacles that pop up when the sun JUST begins to blind you… I got to 3rd, but that’s only because I wanted to beat the track that was beating me. See if you can take on the floating islands of the Kingdom in the Sky.



    TrainWreck by CouPaIn GoTiEr
    Don't let the name fool you, this isn't a disaster of a track. It is a tough track to ride without messing everything up, though. Good use of the Fire in the Deep editor pieces, animations and effects are on show in Trainwreck. Well done, CouPaIn. Well done.



    ~RESONANCE~ by x KaiLiMAN x
    Resonance is one of those tracks that you're going to mess up on... A lot. There's an insanely tricky line that begs for flow but almost brutally punishes minor mistakes. But we play Trials around here, so that's just what we call enjoyment. The satellites checkpoints and nebulas make this space track stand out a bit.



    Let's not break the trend of putting some new X-Supercross tracks in there too! This week we have a set of tracks that go great with online friends and winning... as long as you are the one doing the winning.

    Tomb rider by FG-312
    A fun XSX track that takes place in a cave and has enough flow that your races should be close, Tomb rider races should all come down to skill and consistency. The track decoration may look simplistic at first, but there’s quite a bit going on back there. Get 7 friends together and throw down on FG-312’s XSX track.



    Newvale by llmaybell
    A technical uphill XSX track? Sold. According to me, Newvale takes place around dawn in the city, and the rider is just enjoying a morning workout… or it’s in some kind of industrial plant with poor lighting. The track is well themed for what I think it is, and the line is tricky enough to have made me mumble some phrases that I can’t repeat in this article.



    Also, you might notice that the Fault One Zero Ninja track, Robot Wasteland is now available in the Ninja feed. We’re going to give a shout-out to the PC player who did this, and also shine some light on the fact that he has done ALL of the Ninja track-only versions that we have previously shared.

    Osoguineapig, you’ve done an awesome job. Can we all give him a round of applause?

    And there you have it for this week. Five new Trials tracks, 2 new X-Supercross tracks and a new Ninja track for everyone to enjoy. There has got to be something that you’ll like this week, right? I apologize for that whole “Thursday, Thursday, Thursday-thing… It just kind of happened.

    The Bone tracks do our system proud. Nice to see Lukeyy in the editor, and TrainWreck and RESONANCE are Trials belters. Will play the others asap.

    Well done to that osoguineapig fella. Although I'm about as good at Ninja's as I am at building nuclear subs.

    Funk, no drama this week, please?

    Lol so 360 didn't miss out on much huh?

    Thanks oso for the ninjas there awesome I beat robot wasteland in 117 faults and 8:46 which I'm sure I can improve the time
    What level ninja is robot wasteland? I can only assume its a level 2 or a very hard level 1?

    Thanks for the picks

    "Tomb Rider" is very very dark on X1,
    I know this issue is 100% X1s fault,
    Tv brightness full on can't even help it,
    Especially with the flip back part in total darkness, the track is no good sadly

    "TrainWreck"
    I wonder where he choose this name

    The pictures from the tracks look really nice, i'll play them soon!
    I think RL should add some skill games or fmx tracks in addition of these tracks.
