    I fail to see how my obsessive completionist tendencies are even remotely related to being Emo... on the contrary, I thought the basis of the whole "Emo" mindset was about NOT caring about much... If anything I have the opposite problem.

    Some killer runs in there! Your front wheel planting (during landing) is dead on these days... you're totally going to make it through those level 5's!

    Thanks! I think I will get them eventually too. As a matter of fact, I typed up a few paragraphs about The Hard Way in the Ninja Track Video Leaderboard thread yesterday:

I realized that the reason I haven't passed any of the Level 5s is that I spend a few days on one of them, get frustrated, and then go back to zeroing Level 1s, and I don't try again for weeks. Then when I finally try again all my muscle memory is gone. I know that sugatin was able to pass The Beyond NJ simply because he played it constantly every day for an entire week after TBN released it. As tedious as it sounds, I know this is the way to go if I am serious about passing the Level 5s.

    So today I started playing The Hard Way over and over and over and over. Every time I turn on Trials I will play The Hard Way until I've passed it. No other tracks.

    And guess what? My persistence is already paying off! For the first time EVAR I passed the 5th obstacle in a real run! Unfortunately I did so with only 8 minutes remaining. I spent 5 minutes passing obstacle #6, and then timed out on #7.

    Yes, this was very frustrating, but it also helped me realize that it's definitely within my skill level to pass this track. Actually passing the 5th obstacle in a real run changed my perspective from "ugh, this is impossible, I'll never do it" to "holy crap I think I can actually pass this!"

    Saw that just after I posted in here (doh!). I'm thinking that you're on the right track, attempting the same track over and over. I do that when I can, as well, but I also interject watching videos of it every so often so that I can see what I might be missing or need to adjust. You have the raw video of your individual obstacles, so you can watch it all in super-slow-mo, too.

    Good luck with it! If you can make it there, I'm sure you can kill off the rest of the track.
