    Happy 2nd Birthday Trials HD - Shipping NOW!

    Happy (early) 2nd Birthday Trials HD!
    Congratulations Redlynx on selling over 2 million Trials HD software units.

    This is a central place where fans can come to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary of Trials HD by posting their various projects. I saw some pretty cool things last year, so maybe the turnout will be even better this year.

    To commemorate this amazingly special occasion I have modified and painted an Xbox 360 controller for you. I wanted to ship it but, sadly, I can't afford to right now.

    Hopefully I get a chance some time soon.

    Images for the 2nd Anniversary Trials HD controller:

    Sanding!



    Black Coat (looks silver, I know)



    Various Bits



    Final Paint coats, waiting for ClearCoat.



    Final Clear has dried, Assembled.






    I also made a video showing the controller, sadly I put the wrong triggers in the controller and will need to take it apart, but I look like a moron when I state something blatantly untrue in the video. Sorry.

    Video is uploaded, just trying to get the LINK now.



    I know I'm 3 days (2 in Finland) early... so what?

    That looks AMAZING!!! Really good work there! Would love to see a controller something like that being mass-produced. Can't wait for the video!

    Wow Oski, I got the video linked 3 minutes after I made the thread and you had already posted...

    You DO keep a close eye on the forums.

    Happy 2nd Birthday Trials HD (August 12th, 2009)

    Thanks guys!

    @snipen - of course it's me. I even talk in the video.

    @Pro - can't sell anything that has someone's copyrighted designs. I actually only made this to send to Redlynx, but an empty wallet forces me to only send them pictures.

    Sad. I was hoping it would sit in an amazing display case and never be touched.

    hey shifty setup a paypal account and I'll donate some money for you to send them the controller. Do it asap or I'll slap you with a large trout.
