    Sebbi's one of the guys at RedLynx! They were just having fun with the graffiti.

    Hi everyone,
    I have to thanks you for your positive answer to my post.
    I came back to complete thing I've forgot.

    The "dunes of hazard" platinum-heading say: you are the boss hogger of that track.
    of course that refer to Boss-hog (dukes of hazard tv show) and also to frank "boss" hague (corrupt politician)
    http://trials-evolution-secrets.wiki...unes_of_Hazard
    Two characters full of ambition and cupidity, obsessed by power....

    I think it could be linked to other thing:

    -"middle of nowhere" platinum-heading: -bury me with my money
    this sentence refers to sunset rider final boss.
    http://trials-evolution-secrets.wiki...e_of_Nowhere_*
    first, with his suit, he looks like boss hog from dukes of hazard...
    Want to be buried with money reveals his cupidity.

    -"ruination" sub-heading refers to Ozymandias.
    http://trials-evolution-secrets.wiki...iki/Ruination*
    Ozmandias is a poem written by Percy Shelley. One of the poem thematic is about ambition and arrogance.The interpretation of the poem is that Nature always win at the end.

    this is thematic you can also find in "De rarum Natura" by lucretius.
    The most famous part of the poem, the "Suave mari magno". It talks about cupidity and ambition.

    "(...)Miserable minds of men, blind hearts!
    What darkness, what perils absurd
    Burns almost anything for nothing their life!
    Do not you hear that cry of nature?
    What does it otherwise no pain
    For the body and soul peaceful happiness,
    Issued worry, freedom from fear?
    The body, we see very little cares:
    The absence of pain is an exquisite pleasure;
    The peaceful nature does not ask for more "

    And finally, cupidity and ambition remind me the Marketing director sentence in the credit easter egg.
    In a hand, an Hirsute prophet ( ) talk about the "discovery spirit" and on the other hand, the marketing director who just see "how make money" with this game.

    Tell me what you think. Have a nice day.

    +
    I'm agree, there must be something with the astronaut suit. Trying to earn enough money and I'll test.

    Re: Trials Evolution Easter Eggs

    Great job Puppetmaster!


    the theory that the space suit has something to do with the riddle came also in my mind, a couple weeks ago^^ just because the riddle seems to be at some point about "aliens" and the space suit is THE ONLY one you can complete, no helmet but considering that there is sound to hear somewhere on the map or a track, from the riders "perspective" he wouldn't be able to hear the sound with an helmet on his head ; )

    Re: Trials Evolution Easter Eggs

    Has anyone speculated about the green barrel at the end of the great fire? The color choice makes no sense with the theme, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Maybe it's an odd choice by the creators, or maybe it means something...

    i was just listening to this earlier on, and was thinking the same.... the lyrics mention the shadows,' aim for the light', and ' be sure to listen ,youll need to decipher the sounds into words'.. well along them lines....

    darkness
    light
    sound..

    on the map from origins, where the world is at the top of the screen, there is alot of sound...i read that a few years ago, NASA actually recorded space..it came back with all sorts of crazy noises...interesting too...im wondering if these might have a link to the game...??
    the trials theme song by Mike Reagan is called "shadows"......just an idea
    (oh and happy birhtday Morfyboy, with little late)

    Re: Trials Evolution Easter Eggs

    THANK YOU. I made the connection to the Shadows song after hearing the Egg song, but didn't have time to look into it. Even though I work for RL, I'm not "in the know" on Antti's riddle box.

    I just didn't want to mention it first no matter what.

    THANK YOU!

    Re: Trials Evolution Easter Eggs

    I've checked the song spectra in the Shadows track. I even checked it again in the downloadable version from the RedLynx Blog, hoping for some secret hidden gem hidden inside.

    I walk a short distance to work, and this song (the nature call's egg track) is always in the mix in my headphones. It has been driving me crazy because I think I have something, but it screams of nothing. It's just that the woman who sings the song has some seemingly deliberate times when she skips letters in words. Sometimes she sings a soft end to a word and its there, but barely audible... but others... you'd just have to check it out. The only one I'll highlight for now is when she says "someone else will find te truth" ... almost too obviously missing the H.

    I know, I'm losing it.

    On a different note, anyone else think there's something strange about the OoP track Thermal Terror where there's a stop sign in the background? There are three steam valve handles. Blue, red, and white. The red one in the center pops off and blows a bunch of steam if you tip you're wheel over the edge of the ramp in front of it. You (most of the time) have to back out of the way or it'll knock you off your bike. I've spent a while trying to fiddle with this, but my problem is I can't get up the ramp once it gets blasted into a smaller version. Hope someone with more skill than me can look into this.

    Wheels always turning.

    nice idea, i will try and look what i can find or see! same could be with the track "The Depth", there are power generators on every CP and there is this well known "Timesaver" or whatever those upper ramps after the huge jump are suppose to be. you can reach this first ramp by bailing out but nothing happens. i thought maybe you can get a short boost somehow to get there, but thats a reason why it could rather be an hidden spot or egg instead of an usual timesaver. i spend an hour yesterday checkin that whole area out, but found nothing. guess IF you can get there, you might have to do something special before that CP. i gotta take a look at the sub-header and the song that plays, maybe there is some hint in it^^

    Hi everyone.
    I've checked thermal terror steam valve handles, but nothing happen....

    Not a big deal but the micro donkey number plate (S1-P3) probably a references to genetic:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S1PR3

    the english sub-heading for "elevation" track say :I can see Jorma's house from here.
    But in french it say: I can see Casimir from here.
    Casimir was a physician who discovered "the casimir effect".
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect
    It's a quantum physics mecanism (not the first time we have quantum ref on TE :Niels bohr, the multiverse on "gateways" track (strange "bip" at the end of this race BTW), and other stuff..)
    Yeah, video game is a stupid hobby for violent people......talking about quantum physics.

    I'm still looking the meanings of the lyrics of "shadows" and "nature call" songs.
    "Hidden in brighter tones...hide in the shadows...." Maybe we have to change the TV screen settings to make it appears in a specific spectra....
