    Uplay Recommended #70

    Happy Uplay Day, riders! This week’s Uplay Recommended drop is brought to you by RedLynx Candy. “RedLynx Candy, give it to your enemies!” Anyhow, enough of that. We’ve got a whopper of a drop for you this week featuring 10 awesome tracks from all around the Trials World made available cross platform for you, dear riders. So let’s have a look.


    Abandon by Noibzz
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Medium
    Original Platform: PlayStation 4

    Nominated by the community we’ve got Noibzz’s track Abandon. This addictive medium track is housed in a train station and features one amazing pure drive line. The plank ramp design and straight forward track is a speed run waiting to happen.


    Climate Disorder by Confused Muscles
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Extreme
    Original Platform: Xbox One

    This run down industrial themed extreme is brought to you by none other than the ever popular All-Star builder ConfusedMuscles. Featuring seamless transitions between different variations on this theme and an impressively designed drive line, this is one extremely strong track.


    Crazy Clown by THDTE
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Original Platform: Xbox One

    A twisted and destructive carnival environment designed by All-Star THDTE? Sign me up. The killer clown will destroy obstacles as you cross them but don’t fall for it. Speeding through this track will not work out considering its surprisingly technical drive line. It’s not all about the visuals here, there’s a substantial challenge as well.


    Haunted Hallows II by SwampBalls
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Medium
    Original Platform: PlayStation 4

    This Tim Burton-esque Halloween themed track is yet another brilliant showing from the builder known as SwampBalls. A silhouette, rollercoaster style track with a beautifully simple Halloween backdrop that can be fault inducing as riders will find themselves drawn in by its variety of characters. On the topic of faults, make sure you experience at least one for the sake of seeing one of this tracks many secrets.


    ESCHER by x KaiLiMAN x
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Original Platform: Xbox One

    Based on the works of mindbending mathematical artist M.C. Escher September’s FeaturedBuilder x KaiLiMAN x takes us on a puzzle of a ride through a disorienting stairwell that brings a whole new meaning to the impossiblestairs types of tracks. Which way is up? I’m guessing it’s the opposite of the way you fall.


    SUSHI by ANBIRTH
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Original Platform: PlayStation 4

    Sushi puts the rider racing around the counter of a sushi restaurant. Track builder ANBIRTH is somewhat known for his mastery of custom objects and this track really showcases those skills, and then some! From skimming across the top of dirty dishes floating in a sink to bunny hopping off a bite of food at the last second, this track has a truly unique and interesting environment throughout.


    The Quagmire by NovaDark Storm
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Easy
    Original Platform: Xbox One

    Another speed run style of plank ramp track, this one with a brilliantly detailed design by Nova Dark Storm. Excellent use of custom objects and smart, clean drive line make this track beautifully simplistic, yet expertly designed. Don’t forget to check out the list of custom challenges by clicking in the right stick!


    Toxic Station by VEGASTRASH01
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Extreme
    Original Platform: PlayStation 4

    A brutal and unforgiving extreme from one of the premier technical track builders, VEGASTRASH01. This drive line has the full range of obstacles and all of it coated liberally in some toxic slime. You’re going to need all the tricks at your disposal for this one, riders.


    Valcanguard by TheSlimReaper
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Original Platform: PlayStation 4

    This short but sweet hard track from TheSlimReaper hits all the check boxes of a really great track. Décor, drive line, lighting, theme and atmosphere all come together to offer a truly unique and interesting experience. Peppered with some excellent and expertly used custom objects, this is one track we’re sure you’ll all enjoy. Keep an eye out after a no fault run for some fun animations too!


    Uninhabited Crag by Ubi-Shogun
    Mode:X-Supercross
    Difficulty: Hard
    Original Platform: PlayStation 4

    This X-Supercross track by some guy named Ubi Shogun or something silly like that is a sprawling hard track spread across the wasteland. Full of plank ramps and the type of obstacles you might want to think twice about speeding by. (Note from Shogun: While the theme is all new the drive line is heavily influenced by an older track from the Trials series. 500 Acorns to the first person who tells me which track.)

    Get well soon as well!

    Played Abandon, Haunted Hallows II , Quagmire and Sushi so far and enjoyed the lines and decor... wasn't too keen on the Sushi one, looked really cool but some weird turns and leaps of faith put me off a bit.

    I'm surprised to see Toxic Station is a Vegas track. Played it earlier and didn't see his handwriting. Always thought i'd recognize the trashman at first play.

    Also great to see Climate Disorder got ported. For me this was a distinctive pick when i first played it and one of my favourite tracks by him so far.
