Other (good) tracks Tier 5 and Devils ThroatV2.

Really enjoyed playing your tracks. They were worth some play time for sure.

Here are my suggestions:
Main suggestion- more checkpoints. It's very hard to tell where any given person with different skills will have trouble in a track.
Floating Ruins- Great except for one tiny spot where there was an invisible rock corner protruding through the driving line. Although this is not a problem when you take the track at full speed, the first round through it did cause me a fault: my suggestion would be to run every track as slow as possible you make before it's final, and die in every gap you can- just ride on every ridable spot.

The Ascent 2-
A very well done track. I wish I would have though to use the camera focus thing on my track!!

Ridge Racer (sorry if that's not the name- my computer is very far away from my xbox let me know and I'll edit it)- towards the end there is a part where if you go slow your handlebars hit some stuff off the driving line. At the end the explosion went off a few times right before I passed the finish line... don't know what caused this.
Very cool physics stuff though, and fun/unique feel overall.

Tier 5- Loved this one! challenging tight, claustrophobic design with great setting/theme. Didn't see any problems with this one!

Plant Feeding -Cool stuff- a little hard to tell what was on the driving line in the middle of the track, but a smooth run other than that.

Devils ThroatV2- I have to go back to this one, my internet went out... I'll edit this post when I do.

All of your tracks had great detail in the background, fun driving lines and plenty of physics effects and all of that fun stuff. Really enjoyed them!

Cheers mate my only good tracks are Tier 5 The Ascent 2 and The Devils ThroatV2 because they are my newest and i knew what i was doing but Plant Feeding is my first and so is Ridge Rider but i think il make a V2 of that because of how my tracks have changed since.

Thanks for post reply because your actually the only person who ever posted any of my tracks and it was a good first so yea, dont hesitate to message me to look at any other of your tracks
Also if you have any problems with track just ask, gotta hand my Evo editor knowledge to nannerdw though.

Glad I could help- I'm looking forward to Devils Throat. If you want check my other tracks out you can search Slatonator- Downward Spiral is a 4 star because while it looks good, I used a "you gotta use your breaks" theme that just turned out to not be that reliable/repeatable- and it was probably a little hard. The v2 is the same track with the breaks on the bike tweaked slightly so you're less likely to flip when you use them, but really still has the same underlying issue. Industrial mountain I think is a really high quality but tough hill climb. I think it could be underrated simply because of difficulty (a lot of the people on the leaderboard didn't make it over the first thing).

[rlmergeuser]

Ahh dude i loved that industrial mountains track.

Industrial goods and bads:
Great driving line, brilliant difficulty for skill game average detail but i supose its a hill climb, the bads were that in some areas i reached things like the razors or other intentional killing objects and i just fell on them without it giving a score, need fail zones or something because i lost one of my climbs heights when i forgot to crash; some of the buildings in the background look like they are plonked on top of each other too but as i said its a skill game so yeah.

Spinning tower (Forgot the name)
Liked the massive tower, good detail and an ok driving line, good difficulty but in some areas it seemed to stop me to a halt completly, possibly little smoother in parts, would have like phyisics things like swinging chains, falling cars, crumbling tower or drive line objects.

Im thinking of making a new track where your inside an experimental fortress with cannon fire and stuff but it is going to be very hard to make cannon mechanisms actually move.
Hope to hear what your next is

PS The Devils ThroatV2 is already made V1 is on Trials HD

That's a good tip for the skill game about the fail areas- I haven't even thought of that, but for next time I'll be sure to include something that will for sure kill you. I was actually running into that problem today- and I gotta say, there is a ton of garbage in the top rated skill games. I was playing them today and there were two that calculate the score the wrong way- ie descending when it should have been ascending or vice verse- like Hole in One. There was also quite a few times when I got a score and couldn't die to set it or something... so I feel you there.

Yeah very true about downward spiral, that's the way I feel about that one as well, but the entire driving line is curved the whole way which was a total pain to edit. Everything has to be a some kind of odd angle if you want it to look alright, and at the same time, nothing really lines up with anything else, and because it goes around twice it's hard to tell which driving line is which, etc... so I probably wont be going back to that one. Solid feedback though.

My next track will most likely be Natural Flow. It's an upriver hard map with plenty of flow (obviously). I started it when there was probably only one river themed one in the top rated, but now there are like 5! so we'll see how it does, although the driving line on it is better than whatever that 'river part 2/2' one is, but I haven't tried the one called Waterfall (it might be good). It is designed to just be a solid map with that fresh morning river feel. It's nearly done, I completely stopped 90% of the way through to make Fever Swamp.

Your idea sounds pretty sweet.
Here are some of mine: no stealing for anyone who reads this (they're bad ideas anyway )...
completely 3D ATV hill climb skill game where you drive an ATV anywhere in the entire world! The object of the game would be to climb to the top of a mountain, however you can, the fastest. Easy ways will be slow, hard ways will be faster, but the mountain would be too steep to get there by going straight up.
I started the ATV, but it's really very hard to make it act anything like the bike, which is my goal, we'll see on this one...

An abstract extreme level that has some flow (as opposed to the old stop and go routine of the classic extremes). It will have plenty of geometry and physics, but I just started this one tonight so it'll be a while.

[rlmergeuser]

Only things I didn't like about The Ascent 2 was the shaky camera throughout and awkward camera at the end. But seriously nice track

[rlmergeuser]

Cheers mate yeah i can understand why but i thought i fixed it in editor but theres that silly thing in editor like when theres no lag there is in multiplayer but i did still tweek a bit but obviously it had no change, thanks for info.

[Kevin_Octa]

Edit: I'm already on the list!

[rlmergeuser]

Im not really the creator chooser guy i would if you made a little more with my critisisms taken into consideration, but it will be a litle hard to get people on BlazingDudes123's list while theres thousands more but when time comes i could perhaps make a post on some of your newer tracks.

You may be worthy any way considering you got 20000 downloads and 2000 ratings so thats enough but il still wait.

I don't think you should be asking me anyway becasue my tracks have only got under 500 or 1000 down loads, and the best have under 500- with 4 star ratings!
