I recorded this yesterday, i went one better today and a bit faster but i decided to upload this run because i thought it was funnier it reminded me of homer trying to jump the springfield gorge on barts skateboard.

Oh BTW man any chance of one of those sick hd vids of you destroying Happy Camper?

Boris - sweet run dude - that last bit is tricky - i'm still trying to get a platinum run in - once i do and i get the video up i'll spend some time with happy camper - if it fit's my style and i can beast it, i'll put up a vid - no offense if i don't though - out of all your tracks i think i've only got platinum on 2 of them - tough stuff

no probs man im still finding it very hard to create a track that caters for everyone instead of just revolving around the way that i ride its probably the hardest thing to nail when making a track in my opinion but maybe i'll nail it someday

New Track - Cellar Door - Hard - What do you guys think?

Very cool track. When you decorate your tracks, you do it so organized. The ride line is very fun, I dig this style of play. When I fist got the silver medal and saw what was needed for gold I though "you gotta be out yer dam mind, what the hell is platinum gonna be?". Half an hour later I had learned the track better and got the plat. I think thats a sign of good design. So many areas have ways to improve your time. Fun stuff...

Thanks Jook - Glad you liked the ride - as far as organization goes - i've been a graphic designer for many years specializing in typography - most of what i do from a graphic design standpoint is centered around organization - those design habits tend to creep into my track design and I can get very structured with my decor - also i try to have things make sense - obviously not everything can make sense but to a certain extent it's something to aim for at least -

I was kind of feeling like jook when I saw the medal times. I've got the gold medal, but I'm still about 2 seconds from platinum. I'm just a bit slow landing before the tire and on the platform above the tire. I'll get it eventually.

I also agree about your sense of design. It was especially apparent in this track. I've been studying your tracks for awhile now because you often alter the look of the entire track. You're also very good at combining objects in different ways to create new looks.

Aside from the decor, I really enjoyed the line in this one. It's easy to see, but challenging to actually achieve. This is one of my favourite tracks that you have released.

Keep playing. Risk everything, it can be done without stopping for even an instant. Like Murdocs video shows, its possible to get well under the plat time.
