UPDATE: New Trials track - 15/02/13
Track name - "Adventure of Doom"
Medium -) Gecko only
Second instalment of my Indiana trials trilogy (maybe?) following on from "Raider of lost BMX"
G/t - Meenie77
Huge thanks to Barrybarfly for his assitance and also atilla999 for getting there first and inspiring me try harder.

Also thanks to all you dedicated track builders out there... Those days when I'm stuck for ideas I know I can jump into track central, down load some quality tracks and get inspired

Gave this track a run and while I wasnt keen on the plywood section near the start and a few occasions when my view was a bit obscured, overall its a fun track with a nice line and some really good scenery. I would say this is a track anyone who likes the gecko should try for sure! I had great fun riding it and gave it 5*. Its probably a 4* track in all honesty, but 4* ratings just tend to hurt a track and I'd rather see this above a lot of stuff in the feed, so I just went ahead and gave it 5! Nice track!

Hey barryB...

Thanks for the comments dude, and thanks for playing the track

Ha.. Yeah I knew the plywood bit would be a divisive

I know what your on about the view being distorted at times ive also seen some replays where the statue trigger is causeing some confusion.. Where it isn't as obvious to drive through the stairs as I thought it was

I still need to find out the best way for me to build as I jut kinda get a theme idea and muddle through it at the minute.. Next I'm gonna try build a rough line and decorate around it I think.. See if that helps

But anyway.. Massive thanks for the help and support as well as the feed back!

With the statue, I felt like I was going to drop down after a backflip. Maybe if you had left the floor static and just had the gap open up beneath the statue it may have been a bit clearer? If the "smoke" clouds were off of the line where the opening moved, so you could see the gap appear. Maybe a small light in the opening to highlight it. Something along those lines may have made it more apparent. But if people had probelms, then it really should be their first run only. Second run through its easy to remember what happens!

The only other mild irritant was when the water effect starts near the end. The camera cut made it a little tricky to keep my eye on the rider.

But these are pretty minor things really. Not criticisms, just things to learn from and maybe improve. The track felt like a big step forward imo, so dont take these comments as too negative!

[Meenie77]

Yeah dude.. Totally

I get so used to testing I forget that other riders don't know the course inside out.

With the water... posted in a different thread about it) I'd created everything upto the start of the mine cavern when I had already reached red in the complexity limit so I had to do a lot of jiggling and jostling to ensure I could get everything in a wanted. But I had to cut a lot of corners towards the end of the track

And don't worry about the criticism dude.. It's all constructive and I appreciate that it will serve to make me a better builder ... So it is definitely appreciated!

Great track. It`s always remembering the movie. Clever physics! Good job, dude.

[JetArtois]

Top track pal. Love all of it. The water rush towards the end is a great part. Decor, line and everything else, quality!

[Meenie77]

Thanks guys... Im stupidly happy that people are enjoying it.. But also that some of the great builders out there are appreciating it aswell

i think its fair to say if i hadn't joined this forum would never have had the knowledge or skills to even start a track like that.. So its also a testament to the community and how easy it is to become a part of and learn from

anyway.. Kate winslet style Oscar speech over... Hahah
thanks for the feedback guys
