    Yeah then I should get it. Ive been right up there a couple of times. What I hate is how it gives you a fault, so I have to press start every time. Baaha'a might take a while, but they seem doable.

    Edit: Got it down to 70 faults the 2nd run through. It is a bit tougher than Malachyte described, but I should get a decent run up by tonight. Any others you need recorded Mal?

    This is an issue. A lot of people don't get that I intended for them to back up to gain speed at the start (which I assume you didn't). This is of course my fault, but WILLYUMZ who tested it thought that people would figure it out without signs so I stuck with that. The first obstacle really isn't that hard, sorry for the confusion.

    it is tricky to get up there without backing up but surely people can see that if theyre struggling, they can back up and make it easier.
    if im honest, when i saw the signs in the old version i didnt know what they meant. when i see signs pointing backwards at the start of the track it makes me think of easter eggs and secrets etc.

    and i think its right for the first obstacle to be the hardest, as its the only one you cant gain faults on (unless people move the start line away from the riding line incorrectly).

    i like the track, its obstacles are more fun to ride than a lot of other ninjas

    Glad you like the track other than that and thanks a bunch for giving me pointers!

    Yep, didn't occur to me that you could back up. Oh well, now I feel good for passing it without backing up.

    wasnt talking about you anyway, didnt remember that you moved it
    but yeah when you move the startpoint off the rideline, if it isnt just right your faults will increase before the first checkpoint unless you press the back button instead of B.

    and mal i was in webchat with antng when i was testing and i didnt consider backing up either. it was only when i told him the first obstacle was much harder that we talked about backing up and the signs.

    but like i said, i had fun with it. im hoping before evo to go back to some ninjas and go for 0 faults because i havent really given them much time and this is one i think id get without too much trouble.

    I enjoyed it as well. Im currently working on a new ninja that might be up pretty soon I have finals coming up, so I may just focus on the driving line rather than perfecting decoration etc. etc. It looks to be pretty hard but who knows.

    Yeah once you back up the obstacle on Toadliquor was not that hard. The second to last obstacle is the toughest imo(backflip)

    Once you get used to it you can do it pretty consistently. I find the obstacle after that to be harder.
