I played steelwork again today and I'm going to have to take back my entry to the leaderboards - it's really very ninja at all

I agree. Its not very ninja at all.

edit- sorry for the poor quality. Its the best thing i could do with an iphone. Ive been savin up for a HP PVR, and will re up all my old videos as well as new ones. Not sure when i will get it but definitely in the summer.

Damn, you sure Ninja'd the sh*t out of it though! Crazy fast run.

as for command respect, i love the track and while it is up to skum to define his own work, i guess you could call it ninja based on how hard it is to zero-fault compared with other tracks already considered ninja grade. for me, the pipes require some 'ninjitsu', the rest is a fairly hard extreme track.

Yep, you pretty much expressed my exact thoughts. If there was a track in which every section was as challenging as the pipe section in Command Respect it would probably be a Ninja Level 2 track. But as you said the rest of the track is much more Extreme than Ninja. The way I see it an Extreme track with one "Level 2 Ninja" obstacle should qualify as a Level 1. Also the obstacle at 0:37 seconds in Red's replay is a little Ninja-y, but still not anywhere near as hard as the pipes.

I was thinking today about this - I was looking at the list in the OP and it's just so weird to see tracks like Citadel, 36 chambers and Scorched Earth along side tracks that are so much easier like Command Respect, Electroninja, and Broken English - Command Respect especially though - does this feel wrong to anyone else?

I think you could pick apart the list and rerank each track for years. I found Command Respect very tough simply cause of that one pipe section. I may even say I found it tougher than I did Citadel. If anything, I would say the difference in difficulty between Command Respect and something like 36 Chambers is similar to the difference between Brown Boxes and Inferno II.

We dont have a perfect system, but it works for the most part. Honestly, I just like having one spot for all these ninja track replays and leaderboards.

If several people vote to have it removed I'll remove it, but personally I found Broken English and ElectroNinja easier to 0-faults than Command Respect, and I found it to be about the same difficulty as Citadel and Scorched Earth. 36 Chambers took a lot more practice. As far as my personal Trials skills go, I feel like Command Respect is really on par with the rest of the Level 1 Skumbag tracks, but maybe I just suck at it.

As far as Skumbag himself saying it's Extreme, fair enough, if he wants it removed I'll remove it - but having his track on here is just getting more attention for it. Why would he not want that?

But the bottom line in any case is that I do want the Ninja Leaderboards to be as accurate as possible. Personally I feel like Command Respect has just as much of a right to be here as the other Skumbag tracks, but if several people come forward and say that it does not belong I will remove it.

EDIT: I typed all this and then saw jook's and Murdoc's posts afterwards. I'll post it anyway.

Track ranks may not be as accurate as some of our rider's skills may vary, but theyre close as they can be. Like Malachyte pointed out earlier, a noob could make King of the Hill look like a ninja while JJ makes Bounce look like cake. I personally think those tracks are fit to be where they are now for all trials 'procomers'- basically anybody that can now 0-fault extremes with minimum effort and want to tackle somethin a little bit more difficult. But for guys like JJ or Murdoc or even Malachyte are on another level, in a league of their own. Just sayin.

You definitely qualify for this list too - you just haven't spent as much time playing Ninja tracks as the rest of us, but I'd say you're actually a more skilled rider than I am; you just spend more time working on your rank on the in-game tracks so I seem like a better Ninja rider than you because that's pretty much all I do.

Thanks. I try. I havent played the in-game tracks in a long while. Have no interest in them anymore. To be honest i only get on trials for customs now, mostly ninjas. But im always playin different games because i get bored of anything too fast haha.

And now i shall Command Respect - 56.453

Because of the lightning used in this track and the sh*tty quality given out by my phone, you can barely see my run. Nothin special bout it really. Just glad to have joined the club.
