Dear Redlynx,
I worked very hard grinding for the world record on the skill game Power Bike. To be #1 is not something that comes easily. You decided without warning in your most recent patch that you were going to take the WR away from me on power bike by changing the rules of the skill game.
All of the riders of trials can appreciate how much talent, skill, hard work and prestige comes with holding a world record in the Trials community, and this is why I'm in disbelief that you could decide on a whim to betray one of your loyal Trials fans in me. Especially in a time when you should be trying to make things right for this community that has supported you for so long.
The distance magically goes from 1104 meters to 1110 meters when every rider crosses the line now. As you can see in my video linked below the actual max distance is 1108.205 meters. With your new rules this means that for all riders that cross the finish line they max out the primary score at 1110M. As a result, the secondary score is the tiebreaker, which makes the power bike skill game just another speedrun. You seem to think it's okay to just make all my hard work getting to #1 be worthless. I'd like to give you this opportunity to make things right. I appreciate all the hard work that is being put in right now by the Redlynx team to try to improve the game, but you let down a Trials fan big time here 😞
Sincerely,
Evan Walter

Hey man. I get what your saying, but redlynx made the correct decision for sure. The amount of players who played power bike for distance by grinding where your rider is on finish line is most likely EXTREMLY LOW compared to even the amount of diamond medal players. They had to fix the skill game and I doubt they thought anybody would grind it when it was broken like it was, so I believe they made right decision. I do get your point of how much prestige a world record has in trials community, but something like power bike before patch isn't prestigious like other records (considering the circumstances around how to get more meters), I get that it's still cool to have a record regardless of what it is, but you can't expect redlynx to do something for the people that did grind it when it was broken. It's redlynx fault for putting out a broken skill game and it's your fault for putting so much time into it at the end of the day. Nothing will be done about something like this. If it was a trials track that got wiped for example that would be a whole different story. That's how I see it at least. Give power bike a go after patch, it's much better now that it's a speedrun anywayOriginally Posted by VinylicPrince Go to original post![]()
We can have you on the Trials Records website though if you would like, to be in the world record history. I have no control what redlynx does and can tell you they wont do anything about this because of how niche grinding it was.Originally Posted by VinylicPrince Go to original post
Dude, I'm trying to be helpful and honest. Do you want redlynx do save your name and put it somewhere forever or something? What are you asking for here? Are you asking for the skill game to go back to being broken?Originally Posted by VinylicPrince Go to original post
