    Don't know how long it's going to be for that. I started on an Extreme, but it wasn't going in the direction I wanted, so I scrapped it. I guess I have a bit of track editor writing block at the moment.
    Dude that happens to me all the time. I make a map and then it's weeks before I have another idea.
    Yeah, I was sitting in the editor this time, and something randomly popped into my head, so I used it as a theme.
    Hopefully, I'll be able to concentrate and make a decent extreme track next time.

    Thank you! Point C is not my personal favorite, but it was the one I enjoyed making the most.

    New track. Details are in the OP. Would be greatly appreciative of any feedback, good or bad. I'm not ever sure if my tracks are well received, or hated with a passion.

    Thanks, crisp! I need to get out of the editor and onto a TYM marathon myself. I'm still at 7 faults on that dang tournament.

    Played your newest track and there is one problem that is common to uphill tracks. THE CAMERA.

    Whenever there are hills in the foreground, the camera will move behind the rider. This is hardly an ideal position, as it makes it very hard to tell if your wheels are in contact with the obstacles. This happens on the last two obstacles of Out of the Pit.

    The easiest way to fix this is to simply reduce the hills in the foreground using "inverted" river beds.

    I felt the camera made this track a lot harder than it needed to be, particularly while speedrunning it.

    Thanks for the advice! I guess I never noticed that problem in testing, because I got so used to every obstacle, that the camera didn't bother me.

    I played your latest track and enjoyed it. The biggest complaint I had was ramps were always at very sharp angles, constantly causing you to crash if you didn't slow down before you got to it. If you were meaning for it to be a slow paced track then it worked out perfectly. Overall, a very nice track. I will try your other ones tomorrow.
