4 big improvements so far this week. I haven't managed to get anywhere close to my ideal of 55:00, but I've knocked a full 2 seconds off. Haruspex knocked off almost 2.5. Degn crushed his previous by knocking off almost 3.5. Falfa knocked off over 2 seconds, but has improved by nearly 4 within the month.
1 Degn 00:51:96
2 Haruspex 00:56:91
3 FaceStab 00:58:95
4 Falfa 00:59:48

1 FaceStab 00:26:43
2 Fistbag 00:26:43
I improved 1 second, while Fistbag got 1.3 seconds. Both pretty large for riders who've played a while.
This week had poor attendance overall, but Fistbag and I actually pulled a tie with some major improvements on this frustrating, tricky track. Luckily Fist was quicker about it, so I get the +1 for doing 26:43 a day later.
This was a difficult pick because the track is so damned annoying, and many of the current riders have seemingly maxed themselves out on it. You can have a beautiful run only to screw the ending so bad you wind up in the 29:00 range, or have a mediocre run and nail the ending, getting you into the 27:00 range. Breaking 26:50 is only for the best or the lucky.
Next track?
I'll request one of the following tracks, in no particular order:
Step up!
Buried in box
King of the beer
I want squirrels!
Boulderdash
All of the above are tracks I need to improve, and tracks that are fun/decent fun to ride.
Sorry for late update. Been busy with holidays and stuff. This week is buried in a box, after one of Norfairs requests.
I only just found this forum today and thought i'd register and post to say thanks for making me persevere with Buried In A Box till i no faulted it. My previous best was 6 faults. Now i have 0 faults in 1 min 30, nothing impressive but i'm still happy. I also finally 0-faulted King Of Beer which I'm happy with. The only tracks i can't pass are Inferno and YSNP, they are solid. The guys at the top of the leaderboards are awesome riders, i've sat there watching some of your replays with my jaw on the floor at times lol. It would be so cool to have a track editor or some more official new tracks to go through as i don't have an xbox to get HD or Evo and i love this game so much.
Welcome to the forum, Outlaw. Nice work 0-faulting Buried in Box! I still remember when I finally got it faultless - what a rush that last jump is. It's a surprisingly fun track once the frustrations start to wear off. But also one of the least forgiving!
It's easy to forget how much of a nightmare some of these tracks are now that I'm just doing them as fast as I can. It's quite a relief once you 0-fault, since from that point on it's just going back and knocking time off.
Still, watching those top runs is, in fact, jaw dropping. Particularly this week, since two of the top riders both posted improvements on h2.
1 AkaM 00:36:33
2 NorfaiR 00:37:03
I know the week is young, but it's awesome to see NorfaiR go from #13 to #4 in such a short period of time, knocking a full 1.95 seconds off his record! And see AkaM improve what was already a great run by .08.
I posted a 45 second run just to try and get the ball rolling, but it looks kinda silly now.
Thanks Facestab.
Yea it's definitely a relief when you get the 0-fault out the way. Trial and error definitely does pay off.
I watched AkaM and NorfaiR's runs, the way they take that last jump is insane, doubt i'll ever be able to do that. Your 45 seconds run gets respect from me anyway thats for sure.
I was trying YSNP and i made it as high as the top barrel then i started failing again lol. I'm sure i'll get there one day, same with Inferno, i need to get the technique for the first jump sorted out. On Diablo i have 263 faults, i deffo need to improve lol.
