Liked 7 though it was a bit short. The pinball flipper at the end should have an up-left arrow above it I think, its not too obvious that youre supposed to jump to the left as you cant see the platform.
Awesome tracks, could easily see these having been included in the game!

That flipper isn't at the end, infact it's only about a quarter of the way into the level! Not sure you've got the finished version of the course.Originally Posted by Zaarock
Good call on the arrow sign though, I didn't occur to me that it wouldn't be obvious but you're right, it isn't if you can't see it ... I will put one in but it won't be for a few days as I shall be in Spain.
PlayingMantis - thanks for the compliment and glad you like the tracks! : )

Oh oops, because your track names are so long if I download a new track of the same name it gets named "Lord Melchett - (1)" or 2 etc.
The finished version is excellent, though I didnt like the camera angle on the flipper part. Nice pacing throughout the level and great technical objects again.
Just added you as a friend, hope you have room for me

Hi everyone,
Track no. 8, has been built and and you can download it by clicking on "L0RD Melchett | 008". Have removed Track 004 from sharing for the time being as you are only allowed to share 7 courses at any one time. It's rated Extreme although it's not frustratingly difficult in my opinion. Although I think the obstacles are fairly challenging they become rideable at quite a fast speed with practice so it's actually possible to complete this track in a fairly quick time for those of you who give it some time.
Medal times for this course are as follows:
Platinum: 01:45 mins / 0 faults
Gold: 02:15 mins / 5 faults
Silver: 03:00 mins / 15 faults.
Rigorous testing has proved this course is possible for the best of you to finish it in under 01:40 mins. I have just achieved 2:19 mins and 6 faults in full play mode although I have no faulted the course in testing and also got up to the last obstacle in 1:22 before crashing on it, again whilst in test mode still. Please let me know what you think of both this course and my previous one, track no. 7. Feedback left on this forum would be greatly appreciated. Have fun!!! : )
Cheers,
L0RD Melchett
[Update: 02:02 mins and 5 faults so Gold's in the bag now!] : )
[Second Update: Best is now 01:42 mins and 2 faults so Platinum time is achieved, just a pity about those 2 faults so I still only get a Gold. Grrr!]
Gave track 8 a good few runs, and I really enjoyed it LM. I like how some of the obstacles appear that they need to be done slowly, but actually it's better to do them with speed (the bouncing over the red barrels come to mind). Pretty tough at first though, but I can imagine with more practice getting through it better. Nice work!

I had so much fun playing your tracks I went and played all of them in a row. They where great fun man, really good work.
of all the custom tracks i've played, these are the best i've played imo.
The difficulty curve is just about right imo and the tracks look the part as well.
dying for more dude.......
platinum on the 001 & 002
gold on 003
mix of silver & bronze 004-008

Thanks guys for all your positive feedback, really I am both flattered that you enjoy my courses and grateful that you tell me as much. Rickydude, thanks a lot for your feedback. Be keen to know your times for courses 1 - 3 for my new leaderboard ... oh yes, take a look at the first post on page 1 and you will see a brand-spanking new Leaderboard which I'm hoping will soon feature some names other than my own in there!!!
Also, I've started to create some video captures of my tracks and posting them on YouTube. Links to 4 of my courses (the rest to folllow) are already up and video links to ALL courses will be found on this first post once they are done.
Right, now I need to start practicing my own courses so I can post some 0 fault videos for you. I mean, look at Track 004, my best is 34 faults and over 5 minutes. No wonder I haven't done the video yet, I'm embarassed ... jeez, my gran could beat that time!!! ; )
Please let me know fastest time if it beats the one on the leaderboard, thank you!!!
And take a look at the videos. The editing's rubbish but it was late and I was tired ... that's my excuse!
