    Is it just me or...

    Are ninja tracks not what they used to be? I feel like anyone and thier dog are gonna build tracks and tag them as "Ninja". I've played very few so far, some by famous track makers from HD, some from people I've never heard of. I'm seeming to beat them with relative ease. On HD, I would spend 20+ minutes on most ninjas, ending up sweating, with a headache and sore thumbs AND most likely still lack the skill to even finish the track.

    So what what makes a ninja now-a-days, and how can I filter out the real ninjas from the tags?

    You're always going to have this problem, because it's very subjective. What to you might seem relatively easy could be considered extreme to someone else. It's no different than those who label their tracks "easy" but require skills from the Medium/Hard license tests.

    Anytime you're dealing with user-created content, the best way to go is to become part of the community (which you've obviously done, since you're on this forum), get to know reputable track builders, check out reviews, etc.

    Other than that, 'fraid you just have to jump in blind and check it out for yourself.

    Maybe someone will come up with another decent Ninja leaderboard or Ninja tracklist compilation thread within the near future then.

    Hey Stickz. If you're looking for a tough but fair ninja to run, my track Harbinger should be good for 100+ faults on a first pass.

    Mr Carnage or whatever has some good ninja tracks out there, super tough. Same with 'Red Bridge' or something like that.

    Hey all,

    I'm new here and I submitted a track tagged as ninja that nobody besides myself seems to have been able to clear yet. I'm still working on my own Gold run of 80 faults, and I can't imagine someone pulling off a platinum.

    If you're looking for something challenging, try out "Hot Dog Island" under my gamertag and let me know what you think.
