for the few of you that have, what was your first #1? how happy were you? were you expecting it? or did it seem to just randomly jump up at the top of your screen? my first. only, and probably last #1 is on t1(not very accomplishing, i know) and i had no idea id get close. this was a week or so after KNIG got 3.50 on t1. which awed everybody because for about 2 years because 99% of people that played trials believed 3.51 was the best possible score on the track. i lost it and reagained and lost and regained my #1, over 5 times. and today reclaimed it again. and probably just to loose it.so, do you have any stories on #1's? wether you almost did, did, or hope too. when i first started playing a was this --> l l close to quitting because i couldnt complete t7. its very strange(to me at least) you could ever go from that, to having a #1 score. and being #14 global. so what are your stories?

Technically, I got mine five minutes after patch 1.08 was released. On No Air. Think the time was 1:05 or something. Awesome run!
Then got 22:41 on Speed wheel about a week after 1.08 release, that felt semi-real.
But the undisputed first real top dog was 21:75 on Speed wheel. Jmn had 22:03 (which had beaten my 22:41) and then Hugh got 21:95. I was going for #2, I think Jorko had it with 22:11 or something. I couldn't believe my eyes when I got 21:75, and I remember Neoptolemos said "probably a perfect run", LOL. And I thought so too. Little did we know we could shave off another 0:60..
The best top dog was Let it flip though, I used the ghost (never use ghosts otherwise) of Hugh's #1 run and I remember my gf was in the room talking to me. I was zoning out and just realized after the middle flip bounce what was going on. Still the oldest #1 in the game and I'm slightly proud over that one.
Grindhouse was also very satisfying. Rock Bottom was a big relief cause it's a boring track and I just wanted to get it done. Both tracks took a long time. Probably too long.
Concrete Mayhem, the old record of 31:85 was fun too, I was talking to DAM420 in chat who had the top spot at the time, 31:86, he was trying to teach me the track and I said I just want top5 so I can leave it. I somehow lucked it and beat him by 0.01, good times.
I wish I had a top dog run to talk about. It seems like the days when #1's were achievable have come and gone, unless you're ready to go head-to-head with Akam, Norfair, Pebe, etc... or perhaps find and execute a new shortcut/method that hasn't been discovered yet. I recently tried for a few hours to grab a top10 on e2, using a few techniques that seemed faster than the record runs, but there was no hope. I settled for #25, as I seem to be doing quite often lately.
I still hold out some hope for a great run that leads to a surprising #1, but it seems unlikely.
My first #1 was on Deanathon Epic, **** was cash until everyone in the Trials 2 chat kickbanned me for cheating.
Anyway...
My first legit #1 was Dyn2, a truly awesome run with the luckiest ending to ever occur on that track.
Cant believe i didnt get mentioned before
Going for #1 is tough if you arent akam or really specialized in one or a few tracks:/
Well my first like six #1 runs was beaten again, then i lucked speed wheel I still have it
The only #1 im really proud off and really wanted was dyn4
My t4 i had to do as i did a 9.01 offline and lollerskates was because i couldnt live with myself if primusk had me beat on that track:P
Well, disregard my last post. I wound up getting my first #1 about 5 minutes ago. Sadly, it was a T1 run, so I can't boast too much about it.
I played for 20 minutes, got a 3.51, figured I must be on fire since I'd never done it before, and got 3.50 about 2 minutes later. Needless to say, I was not expecting that. It was awesome to see my last two achievements pop up on the screen though. I finally filled out the box!
It'll belong to someone else in a week. It always does. For now, though, I'm going to celebrate.
I thought it was a dream too...once
Remember kids, as long as you keep working hard and belive in yourself it can happen too you aswell

Yes mike, it is I
I have not been active for a long while because of the inner deamons i had to face after my success.
I embarked on a long journey into the wild only to return a shell of my former self
But perhaps the wisdom i gained can help others in struggle for success
This advise is totally free:
Before sitting down to play Trials HD, you must first meditate for an hour or so to cleanse your soul of impurities, do not worry people, you will know when the time is right!
