Lestropie and RedRider, I would always watch their replays in HD.
I think that the 'look up to ' should be interpreted as 'respect for' as some people find it hard to say they look up to people..im sure we all have at some point..how else did we get into trials without inspiration from others..ive posted a similar topic a while back asking "who was ur first friend request sent to get tracks on HD"..so,just to reiterate what i posted then, and i suppose got inspiration from, i would have to say cannibal shogun and iron warlord..also,i know he still builds, but DJ Twitchy is someone i have alot of respect for too..as well as many others..so a big shout to all them from HD that stuck with it even though trials Evo is a totally different concept..ive noticed from my point,that F.R. n messages on xbox stating a 'nice track' dont come through as often,and as many..so guys,lets all stick together,play each others tracks,and show some appreciation for other builders.we all know its disheartening to not see friends on your track LB..
Most respected riders - Buttcheekofdeth and xPr0fessional
Favored creators - RekluseKTM and Murdoc Loch
Honestly hard to pick just a few, but there you go.
Quite a lot of talent out there. Makes us all winners.
@snakebite..agreed..rekluse is a detailed genius..his hd tracks were a treat..also,it is hard..someone should make a thread..respected riders n builders..although this one is doing just fine...
NasT, barrybarfly ,bluemage n willyumz are a few more that can pull of brilliant lines in tracks to as well as decor..IMO. n cant leave shifty out..his tracks are nicely done too..
Exactly why it's hard to pick a few. I wouldn't want to leave anyone out because everyone has particular styles and strengths that show thru in their creations.Originally Posted by Morfyboy

Retribution aka Jryda is my idol and I don't give a flying **** because he's better than he thinks he is. I'm not a try hard at trials and never have been but him and Clint Eastwood have always been the guys that have strived me to play dirty.
I don't play trials anymore so I'm surprised to see my name mentions but thanks guys.
Got respect for all these guys:
Retribution

Buttcheekofdeth

Amazing to watch these guys' runs, completely in awe.
To be honest, amazed by all the top riders...and the top builders.
Since retribution got his TF,ive been checking out his runs on a few tracks, and man,that guy can ride..i didnt think it was possible to do alot of things he does..talk about being in total control.....
Riders who actually Inspired me (excuse any misspelling or doubling up): Malachyte, Yuriyami, MISSACCUSED, Lestropie
With the last 3 mentioned, looks like they don't even try when they play and that they could do a heck of alot better if they invested the effort IMHO.
Riders who I discovered later, but may have not had any influence on me playing Trials: jmn (could have been king of trials 2 if it weren't for his dislike of the tougher tracks IMHO), TBNSoty (the unsung Ninja King IMHO & only HD rider to zero a Ninja Level 4 as far as I'm aware), Murdoch (Beast of a rider & track creator), Chicago AJ, KO, HiDeff...this list could get very long so I'll leave it here, but there's alot of riders worthy of a mention from both HD and EVO who don't get mentioned only because they're fractions of seconds behind some of the guys above, which seems a bit unfair in a way.
