    Just post them in this thread. You can edit the subject of your first post to something like: "Sarah616's tracks", for example, and then make a list of all your tracks there.

    Re: New track from newbie :D

    I just played it, and I agree with emcee, it was difficult in some areas. Close to the end, it becomes hard to smoothly take each obstacle in stride (stairs/pinball flipper). It is quite good looking, however, and you look like you are on your way to making some top notch tracks. The flow and the driving line are my two main gripes with the track. The flow being a problem, because you need to stop and wait on multiple elevators/events, but that's just because I like to run at everything as fast as I can. I also found a bit of screen tear around the middle of the map and lag on the big hill jump near the end.

    Re: More trials tracks.

    Hi Sarah, glad to see you have a track thread up, played a few of your tracks quickly this morn, holy smokes you make em tricky LOL
    Loved some of the set pieces in Mechanism Madness, but i can see a lot of people getting frustrated as most people dont get on with physics objects as it is, maybe tone down diffilculty on future tracks or allow more freedom with multiple routes or ways of using the momentum from previous obstacles to get past others faster/easier. It also kinda felt like it was a track for the phoenix for me, there was never really a need to have a high top speed because you where starting/stopping a lot.
    I also played one called something like "through the park" which was pretty sweet, but i ditched that run after getting hung up about halfway through and the track being so long, will go back to it later.
    Im not a huge fan of tracks that last longer than 2 mins (on a good run) because its a lot of track to commit to memory when trying to run it fast for a good time/0 fault, although for some of your set piece obstacles the signing was very good meaning no need to remember it as long as your watching closely.

    Played some others quickly too, one i remember well had some hefty terrain modification for 3 hills/mountains to climb over but they where very unnatural looking and more importantly hard as nails to get over as they where so tall.

    Some great little animations/physics obstacles and scenery (things like the ferris wheel were sweet) and overall, you show some great potential. Some obstacles in your tracks are fantastic and need nothing more than a tiny tweak and some flow between it and the next but some feel like they where specifically designed to catch you out or punish you for trying to go fast. Also, quick rule of thumb i try to go by, if you havent come close to 0 faulting the course yourself after spending so much time building it, then its either very hard or doesnt flow as a complete track, both are fine if its just a fun/gimmick track but it wont be very good to ride competitively on and its less likely to get as many downloads/plays IMO.

    Keep up the good work, will try more when i get more time !
