    LzZzR's FvVrRtTs

    Hello, riders. We’ve got something a little bit different this month for the featured feed. Since we started the weekly Uplay Recommended drops there has been one guy diligently working away to select tracks and optimize them for cross-platform release. You may have seen him on our forums talking about customs & Uplay tracks, you may have heard him as the disembodied voice behind Shogun & Badger on Trials Live streams, maybe you’re even familiar with the work he’s been doing with Storm Psykoz to provide cross-platform ninja tracks. If not let me introduce you to LzZzR.



    For this month’s featured drop LzZzR is giving us a selection of his favorite tracks from the Uplay Recommended feed. With around 600 tracks currently in the feed picking out a list of favorites is not an easy task but LzZzR wanted to bring you all something special for the holidays. He’s managed to get his list down to 40 incredible tracks. In addition to selecting the tracks we asked LzZzR to say a few words about why he chose some of the tracks. So, in his words, we present to you; LzZzR’s Favorite Uplay Tracks.



    Fracture Falls by Swampballs
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Beginner
    Featured: January 15, 2015

    This was the first time I stumbled upon SwampBalls. I noticed a good Beginner track that was built around the rare Baggie. With Beginner tracks being underrepresented in the Track Central it easily caught my attention. This track is still among the most played tracks in the Track Central and is a great example of an amazing Beginner track that can be enjoyed by everyone.





    Heavy Steel by lvl DrEvil lvl
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: July 29, 2014

    The theme is so well done in this track that I actually start to feel the heat as I ride it. The driving line is tricky but very fun to attempt the timesavers. Not only did I select this for the Uplay feed but I also chose this track for a small Trials competition at Assembly* a little over a year ago.

    *Assembly is a big LAN party held two times a year in Redlynx’s hometown of Helsinki





    Dehumanized by EvelForksnspokes
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: April 9, 2015

    EvelForknspokes made a couple amazing builds, this is one them. It’s hard to forget this track. It has wonderful animations, I love the flying robots and machinery on the track. Along with Pneumatic Requiem this is one of the best tracks in Fusion.





    Pneumatic Requiem by EvelForksnspokes

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Extreme
    Featured: May 15, 2015

    This is without a doubt among the best tracks in Fusion. It must have taken an incredible amount of time to build this masterpiece. The amount of detail is mind blowing. There is so much in this track I just keep finding new things every time I play it.





    Meadow Run by VEGASTRASH01

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: July 23, 2015

    Few builders do driving lines like VEGASTRASH01. If your top priority on a track is the driving line, this is a builder you want to check out. Getting a platinum in a VEGASTRASH track is a big challenge and one of the most rewarding feelings. Check out this track and expect to grind it for hours to get that record time.





    The Atom Smasher by D2_Dahaka_PAL

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: October 8, 2015

    This is great. It’s a huge abandoned space station, what’s not to like? The final checkpoint is brutal and makes the track lean a bit more into extreme than hard in my opinion, but that doesn’t stop it being one of my favorite tracks. D2_Dahaka should definitely build more tracks, he's got what it takes.





    Kalianhagles Gym by kalianhagle

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Extreme
    Featured: July 23, 2015

    Kalianhagle is my favorite PC builder and this track should convince you why. It takes skill to build a track around a gym theme that is both playable and actually looks like a gym. Another similar track to look out for is Hospitalized. And don’t forget to check out the broshop!





    USS Trials by THDTE

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: September 10, 2015

    THDTE made an impressive, almost lifelike aircraft carrier into a Trials track. The planes taking off and the workers moving the cargo bring life to the track. Nothing less than what I expect from THDTE, a builder who continues to impress with every track, particularly when it comes to themes and animations.





    Valcanguard by TheSlimReaper

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: November 12, 2015

    TheSlimReeper built one of the most fun driving lines I’ve played for a while. A short track with cool custom objects and great attention to lights. This is a track I never get tired of grinding, it’s just so fun.





    Heat of War by funktastic-

    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard
    Featured: August 20, 2015

    My favorite Roach track. Funktastic has earned his place among the best PS4 builders, uploading quality tracks at a fast pace with no sign of slowing down. Nailing all the timesavers was tricky, especially when riding the Roach. There are few tracks I’ve played as much as this. Make sure to check the animations on the track before speed running, they are not something you see every day.



    That’s 10 of LzZzR’s favorites and why he picked them but that’s not all. There are 30 more tracks hand-picked by our cross-platform guru for your enjoyment. All 40 tracks are available right now on Xbox One, PS4 & PC in the Featured Feed.

    Be sure to tune in to Trials Live this Friday at 5pm EET (find your local time here) when we will play through all 40 tracks with the man himself emerging from the shadows to join us on the couch and discuss his picks.

    i dont get it, i make tracks that has loads of good ratings, but i'm never chosen while i see many tracks with the same names.
    I build on PC so maybe thats it?

    Here is one of my tracks that has a high rating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en7-FtWgoLc

    And where are the weekly fusioncommunity tracks? none this week and last week no crossplat ninja's

    So maybe increase the trackbuilder namelist instead of hanging on to the same builders.
    There are very good builders around, but it seem you guys stick with 20 people

    I think that any fav list with that many tracks should have a mandatory 5 CM track mininum but hey that's just me.

    Nice idea for the "last of the year" featured. Expected something else. Didnt you guys do a similar thing last year but with tracks most grinded/played.

    Personally i 100% agree wirh pneumatic requiem(and with alot of your favourites). When it got x-platted i had so much fun with it. I think i spend atleast an hour on it. And then another 30 min just looking at the track using that replay cam stuff. (i dont care what anyone thinks, it is a nice extra to have) And then 10min later i saw a vid from dean09 that beat me with a couple of tenths of a sec. I already hated him om 360 for beating me on eveyrhing tc-related (and sp) but at that moment i realised he was the bowser to my mario,.

    @lzr what aspects did you base your favourites on if i may ask?. Amount of time you had to put in making sure theyd run on every platform? Deco/line?. And.. i know it is an opinion-list but where is your ex-collegae on the list?. Kalzzone..
    List also needs more muscles..


    @smilies this drop is a list of a redlynx employees opinion on the already x-platted tracks from the start of the launch. So there wouldnt be any new tracks anyway. Id be happy to send a pm and give some feedback about that track. Let me know.

    Thanks for including my track in your picks LzZzr, I really appreciate it. :-) and thanks for all your work Xplat'ing tracks.

    Playing tracks from new and veteran builders has kept trackcentral alive and fun for me.

    Have a great Xmas Trialers.

    .
    I didn't have any specific aspects to my favorites. I picked the most memorable ones and the ones I played the most. There were many amazing tracks that should have been there but I couldn't feature hundreds of tracks so I had to do my best with 40 tracks. I thought it would be an easy task to pick 40 favorites but it was honestly extremely difficult.

    The amount of time it takes to optimize tracks varies a lot. There are many tracks that require barely any work at all and some keep me busy for many hours, in some cases days.
