    Turtle Bike Championship!

    You think you're so special, with your super speedy Scorpion.
    You think you're so fabulous, with your fancy flying Phoenix.
    Anyone can platinum with those bikes, lets see if you've got what it takes to put up a worthy time with the most unworthy of equipment: THE TURTLE BIKE

    The rules:
    [list:wzaketgl][*:wzaketgl]Post times for the 7 tracks listed below[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Use the Turtle bike only!![/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Best total time [/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Pics or vids optional[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]End date: March 11, 2012 (2 weeks)[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Bonus round: Best distance on the original "In Flames" skill game[/*:m:wzaketgl][/list:u:wzaketgl]

    No prizes, just bragging rights. Maybe someone can whip up an awesome turtle badge or something.

    I'll keep this first post updated with the top times (all Ben1502 so far...):

    Beginner:[list:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]The Big Ride: 00:25.609 - Ben1502[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Groundhog Begins: 00:22.687 - Ben1502[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Ode to Joy: 00:32.982 - Ben1502[/*:m:wzaketgl][/list:u:wzaketgl]
    Easy:[list:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Upwardly Mobile: 00:30.969 - Ben1502[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Mother of all Jumps: 00:29.242 - Ben1502[/*:m:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Smooth Jumps : 00:40.213 - Ben1502[/*:m:wzaketgl][/list:u:wzaketgl]
    Medium:[list:wzaketgl]
    [*:wzaketgl]Trippin' the Plywood: 00:39.365 - Ben1502
    [/*:m:wzaketgl][/list:u:wzaketgl]

    Total time: 03:41.067 - Ben1502
    In Flames skill game: 285.90m (Platinum!!) - Ben1502


    A few additional notes:
    I found it handy to create a new local profile for this. It doesn't post to the leaderboard, but does keep the list of run times, at least for the current session. Going through the above tracks in order should unlock the remaining tracks correctly, assuming you're good enough to get a Gold with the Turtle bike!

    Other skill games allow the Turtle bike, but your score isn't really that dependent on the bike chosen (Down the Stairs, Inside the Ball, Ring of Fire). I was a little disappointed to see that none of the in-game tournaments allow the Turtle bike, even though it is a legal bike for all tracks that make up the first 2 tournaments.

    Bonus points if you can pull off the fender hook on Trippin' the Plywood!
