    Staff Picks - August 16th



    Greetings Riders,

    Let's wrap up this week with some of our favorite creations from the Trials Rising community. Each week, you the community continue to amaze us with new designs in Track Central, The Gear Store and across social media! Without further ado, here is this week's Staff Picks!

    Shogun's Picks



    Track: Mantis Storm Rising
    Creator: rectorsquid
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard

    This flippy track is flippin’ fun and I love it! There’s so much here that made me smile I don’t know where to begin. Let’s start with the flips. The obstacles on this track are all built around the concept of loops and flips but it manages to not feel like just the same obstacle over and over again. I also couldn’t talk about this track without noting the classic Trials HD vibes it gives off. I played this track for the first time on the 10th birthday of HD so the nostalgia feels I got from this track are real. This has a lot of HD flavor but it’s also got a lot of little details littered throughout the track that make it so much more. As I played through this track I couldn’t help but think that this is what Trials HD looked like in my mind when I was trying to build custom rooftops with the limited object sets in that game. Finally there’s the little people. As you ride through the track you are being watched by tiny spectators but what really gave me the grins are the pitched up crowd sound effects that provide squeaky cheers for your rider as you flip your way towards victory.


    Video: Thermal – Tandem
    Creator: Teemu Tuovinen

    During development we had a lot of fun on the tandem watching the hilarity that ensues when 2 riders do poorly together but we always wondered how far skilled riders would be able to take it. These two dedicated riders are here to show us that this heavy beast is far more maneuverable than it may seem. Also an incredible track from Haarmes that I’m happy to see a replay of because I can’t pass it solo. This isn’t the only tandem ninja run on Teemu’s channel so if this type of thing is for your be sure to stop by and show some love.

    Murderbysounds’ Picks



    Track: Aeternum(Extreme)
    Creator: ZZZZZZach
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Extreme

    Here is another pic, Just played it and what a masterpiece this is. An Extreme track that will have new players wanting to play it as it is such a beautiful track that draws you in with the wonderful fantasy theme and is another Extreme that will give the newer player to Extremes a sense of reward as the obstacles are well designed as to be a challenge but not overly hard, but the experienced rider will come back to shave milliseconds of their time as the obstacles link together with the smoothest of flow (amazing driving line).The decoration and lighting and use of effects and decal work will have you playing this track over and over again as there is just too much to take in with the first couple of runs. The scale and use of objects to create this unique Cathedral and Fantasy Castle is just jaw dropping. I take my hat off to ZZZZZZach as he usually creates super hard Ninja tracks that I can sometimes only look at and not complete, so to be able to complete an Extreme ZZZZZZach track (is a track that all who struggle on Ninjas, should grace this track and enjoy it in all it´s glory) There are not enough words to do this track justice, so please stop reading and go get on this track NOW! 10/10……




    Track: “Sea Horse”
    Creator: izezprincess
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Extreme

    This is an excellent extreme track that will challenge the new extreme rider but will reward the experienced rider with a fun extreme speedrun line. The track is decorated well with an Olympic pool theme running through the track from beginning to the end. This also demonstrates good use of the thumb nail pic. First impressions last and that is what draws you in to play this awesome track. A great return from a legendary builder.

    Keeba's Picks



    Track: Mish Mash
    Creator: lionden13
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Medium

    The aesthetic of this track is right up my ally. With a bit of a horror feel, it’s the perfect track for fall. The difficulty is also great because newer players can enjoy it while more skilled players can work for the best time. Check it out for yourself!


    Creator: AHauntedArmy

    This run is the stuff dreams are made of. Videos like this just motivate me even more to improve my skills and times.

    Doc's Pick:



    Track: Stone age 360 bw
    Creator: HAIRYLURCHER
    Mode: Trials
    Difficulty: Hard

    Wrapping up on Wednesday's Diggin with the Doc stream, I had time for one more track. This is what I ended up playing, and oh boy...am I glad I did played it! A spaceship has crashed landed in the stone age, do monkeys help the unfortunate crew? Nope, they steal the ship's sound system and have a rave. This track is bonkers, and I loved every moment of it. If you're looking for a laugh, definitely check this track out!

    That about ends things for another week, it's time kick back and relax. In the meantime, we hope you have a great weekend and if you see anything in Trials Community that deserve's a shout out, let us know in the thread below!
