    To those finding themselves frustrated...

    You WILL get better. Trust me.

    When you've faulted an obstacle for the 200th time, don't get mad. Enjoy the process of getting better.

    I started playing in mid-November. I blew through Beginner & Easy, then slowly through Medium. I finally made it through Medium, and on to Hard & Extreme. I couldn't even get through the Extreme maps - I'd either run out of faults (500) or time (30 minutes).

    Now, I've got Gold in all maps, including Extreme. I haven't yet zero-faulted any of the Extreme maps, but I've come close...


    Remember, even Lestropie wasn't always as awesome as he is now. Witness:

    Brown Boxes:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXA1KojS2Co (~ 48 seconds)

    His most current run clocks in around 32 seconds (!!!).

    No, he was, when performing those runs.

    Then one dramatic night, Redlynx abducted him in thier Trials HD spaceship, where he was brainwashed into believing he done trials in real life, then the evil doctors hired by Redlynx took out his insides, where they ate them and replaced them with mechanical organisms.
    They placed him back in his home and names thier new creation 'Bob' the master of trials HD.

    So there...you now know the truth...

    It is possible for a robot to have to take test runs through a course to systematically remove delays in navigating that course. All of the smartest computers have been learning computers.

    Actually I just like to give people a false sense of hope.
    If I'd done a 32-second run back then, everybody would have given up trying.
