@KNoCK, i hear its been pretty oven-ish over that way as well. Hope yall guys are staying as cool as you can. And i started the exact same way as you. Just went for the 2nd to best medal, and called it a day. I had never even speed ran a course til about 3 months ago. I played Fusion for over 3 yrs and never cared to challenge the top 1000 on the LB. Always felt impossible. Then i made a friend on Rising through MP, who had far better times then me. He challenged me to beat just one of his times. I picked I Fell Tower, and within two weeks i was in the top 20. I might be a little further down the LB now, but the replay still motivates me, and he still hasn't beaten my time. Since then, ive spent a lot of time learning speed tech, and grinding hard. I think im up to 40 or 50 Diamonds now. I never wouldve thought it possible 5 months ago. Anyways, if its something your intrested in going for, definitely try! If so, Keep us posted on how youre progressing if you do
p.s. - sorry for always writing so much. I was a writer in another life, and it pours out of me in strange ways

Hey Cal, just been working my through all the tracks on the xbox version - finally got them all done so been going through achievements & squirrels. There's some really good mini-game type ones on the route 66 tracks, been good fun.
It's a glorious day in the Scottish Highlands here today, off work for a fortnight so going to take the kids outside while it's sunny. Fruit farm first then maybe the beach...
Have a good day all. 👍

Congrats on getting through most tracks @Comrade. I really liked both of the 66 Skill Games (waayyyyy more than Rodeo and Loose Screw, thats for sure!). Also, Nice pic! I live and work on a resort/vacation island. So ive had my fill of the beach. Im a mountain guy deep down, so im slowly fixing my house up so i can sell it and bail out to the deepest of deep forests in the mts

@Boss It'll be ready for the 14th buddy, no problem 👍🏻
@Cal You are one hell of rider pal by the sound of things. My only diamond is on the barrel blast thing skill game......think everyone's got that 😄
I've got some weird tapping/knocking noise on my track, nothing major but it's there. If any builders know what it is and how to sort can you let me know. It's not affecting the performance of the track so it's not all bad.
The complexity level on is about a centimetre, so don't be expecting amazing things 😂. Hopefully the lines decent though for some battles 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks Jet! It took a lot of time, but its sooooo rewarding when you hit that perfect run. Cant say that enough. And ive tried turning more people onto speed running tracks, but ive learned its not for everyone. Does take a lot of time (for me at least), and can be extraordinarily frustrating. I spent a little over 23 hours on just Braking Bad. I restarted that one track over 12000 times (stupid train whistle drove me nuts!). But i darn near cried when i finally got the Diamond (i actually might have, cant remember
. Anyways, the best thing about Trials is you can enjoy it in so many different ways. As long as people are enjoying the ride, that's all that matters. And im super stoked on your upcoming track. Sounds like youve put a lot of effort into it, and im sure the driveline will be awesome! Anyways, gonna watch some Mario Maker 2 shenanigans on YT, then its back to the Mother Road grind on Rising. Hope everyone is having a fantastic day.

Hi I'm a huge trials rising fan and play about everyday. I'm in the top 1% of riders and was wanting to have more friends on my friends list. I'm 32 years old from Oregon. My gamertag on xbox is COORS MANN. Thank you

@COORSMANN, Howdy! I just recently became a member of the OTHG myself, but can vouch for how fun its been. Went from having just a couple of Trials friends, to having over 70. Im on ps4 sadly, but hope you stick around. With Rising being in a little bit of a lull, the game needs as many Riders as it can get. Anyways, the last version of Wall Market came out yesterday, and again, the look was fantastic. Its also pretty awesome that after 5 weeks of riding it, the driveline is still challenging to nail that perfect run. Also, still no Diamond on Mother Road. Im so close it hurts, but the big time save is tough to nail smoothly. Lastly, im close it hitting the 500 hour mark on Rising. Never wouldve thought i would play a game for this long, but Trials is a whole other beast
Well, hope everyone has a good day, and happy Trails... ...erm... Trials!

@Cal, thanks for the advertising mate 👍😋 i am happy you liked it again! I like to read your messages here on the forum. Just like the messages from Boss.
@all, as Cal said, the final chapter of our first 5 bike track: Wall Market went online yesterday. Grab your favorite bike from the garage for the last time and take the diamond home! 🚲💨💨 I also want to thank everyone again for the many hours and broken bones you have sustained on this track! 😂✌ I am also happy that I can finally work on another track again. 🎉🎈
@Coorsman, you will receive a message from BigBow or Rudemod once they have read your message. Keep an eye on the forum here. Nice to hear that you are also trials addicted haha 😂 As Call said, there can't be enough trials players. And to be honest, I have only been with OTHG for a few months and I still love it every day! ❤✌
