    I appreciate the feedback. I'm responsible for most of the DL and tried to keep the background decor as close to the movie as possible. With that being said, there's not a ton of ramps & checkpoints in the movie lol. I could have added more background elements into the obstacles or more of the obstacles into the background but it wouldn't fit as well into the movie.
    Sorry but I didn't like it either.

    With such a great theme it could have been so much better.
    Fair play the time circuits etc looked great along with a couple of logos but what was the idea behind the track going from the barn to some completely random objects in the middle of the road.
    I'm sorry to be critical but how many people made this track?
    You have a crazy amount of support from red lynx before you even release the track, comments from shifty etc can be viewed but I was very disappointed. For a team effort it should be better.

    Bits I liked :
    Time circuits, logos, van.
    Didn't like :
    2n'd half of the DL
    Actual riding time was too short
    Where are the bullets being fired from
    Same as terminator 2 track with cuts as far as cuts are concerned.
    Bland clock tower
    Lack of track in the film isn't a good excuse for the DL.
    This is just my personal experience of this track so please don't take it personally.

    Hello SP1NALFLU1D! Thanks for taking the time to post. Let me address some of your concerns.

    The track was technically made by 3 of us. The bullets were being fired from the terrorists like in the movie but of course they were "offscreen." I couldn't think of how else we could implement it other than how it is.

    The DL is short mainly because of complexity. The complexity was close to filling up. The original plan was to incorporate scenes from all 3 movies but there's no way we could've pulled it off well enough to do justice to the BttF legacy.

    The length of the track was basically set before I began working on obstacles so I built what I could given the space.

    The clock tower is what it is. Not sure what else we could have done to make it less bland.

    I realise the track feels segmented with the time jump in the middle/ end and I'm ok with that opinion. This track was never meant to be a "traditional" Trials track and is meant as a fan service for those who love the movie.

    Thank you for the time you spent creating and making sure the track came to TC
