    Smoke and Mirrors

    Maybe this was obvious to some of you and I'm going to sound like an idiot but: Have you ever noticed that Smoke and Mirrors is Jolly Jumper backwards? - Sure there are some added/tweaked stuff but other than that it's almost all the same just backwards

    I just figured they were by the same creator, but looking at them, I see what you mean.

    thanks for the laugh murdoc. I needed that just got back from riding my dirt bike at the track man am i outta shape. anywho it took me about a week in a half before me and worleyboy were in a chat playing S&M. We were like damn near at the same time this track reminds me of jolly jumper then we played it and we payed attention and we realized yep its S&M backwards. So yes I already knew of that. Just never said nothing.

    I actually thought it was pretty obvious, though I guess it's a bit of a better secret than I thought it was

    so i suppose the devs reversed every single track and JJ was the only one that produced good results.

    That's why I named it Smoke and MIRRORS... And I added some smoke in there to suit the name

    The final Smoke and Mirrors track riding line did actually go though a lot of modifications, as Jolly Jumper flipped didn't work so well straight away (there were many gaps and sharp corners that stopped the bike). And I added lots of extra objects to create multiple riding lines on top of each other. The first version of the track (without multiple routes) was basically an extreme difficulty track, so it had to be made easier (we wanted it to be hard, not extreme).
