Grimm ninja tracks are a rare breed. They rely really heavily on steep inclines and a lot of nose-stall manuevers and back wheel bounces. Once you get the hang of these three moves, his tracks become much easier. I am not sure if that helps at all when deciding the difficulty or not...Originally Posted by FLYER80Personally i think its a lvl2, i normally never have a problem with lvl1's, and have finished almost all lvl2 tracks & some lvl3's (i'm not the best with ninja tracks), but really felt like this is harder than a lvl1, so much so, that i never finished itOriginally Posted by MalachyteIs this unintended path going under the final log in the first obstacle? Because I did that when I tested it.Originally Posted by grimmFor any who are interested, Lumberjack was kind enough to point out an exploitable, unintended gap in Sojourner without taking advantage of it. I've since updated the track without altering the proper drive-line in any way. Runs on the older version are still valid so long as the unlikely/awkward unintended path is not used. Lumber's current run is completely valid.Originally Posted by Lumberjack
Awesome run Lumber, and thanks for the video! You've got me beat by over 10-seconds...
No worries about changing it - it's not like I zeroed it or anything. I'll grab the updated version today.
Oh, and yes, I did rate it as Level 1; Grimm also submitted it thinking it would be Level 1. However as always, if several of you think it should be moved to Level 2 I'd be happy to do so. I even told Grimm that the last obstacle felt Level 2-ish to me, but that it wasn't enough to bump the track up overall.
totally agree with you jook, once you have those moves in the bag it is easier. But getting those moves ain't easy, and i stand by what i said about this being a lvl2 (know that people probably won't agree) just think those techniques are more advanced than a lvl1

Here's my 70 fault 9:46.739 run on Bounce.

It's my first attempt at editing anything so be gentleI'm definitely gonna improve on this, it's only the 2nd to last obstacle ( before the barrel pyramid ) I'm consistently struggling on right now.

My vote would go to level 1, if you're still looking for input on Sojourner. A few more run throughs and I know I can take a bunch of faults off my intial run, which wasn't deep enough into level 2 territory anyway, faultwise. Just my 2 cents.Oh, and yes, I did rate it as Level 1; Grimm also submitted it thinking it would be Level 1.

I spent a good couple of hours earlier on working out how to edit that Bounce replay I posted. It only took 20 minutes to go back and get 51 faults and 6:54.063
Gonna hold off upping this one till I hit the track again tomorrow, I actually feel like I can get this in 10 or so faults

On Sojourner I got 7 faults 1st run... 8 faults on second run. Every single one of those faults except for 1 were on that last obstacle. Of course I did watch lumberjacks run a few times yesterday so I knew what was coming kinda. I think this track just plays to my strengths... but yeah. Level one for me.
Holy crap! I got around 30 faults on my first try (before seeing any replays), and 13 on my second... and I thought that was impressive!Originally Posted by jook13
Anyway, it seems like most people agree with Level 1, so I'll leave the track where it is.
