    This suggestion is just too practical and makes too much sense! Of course it would mean they'd probably have to scrap the idea of making it ltd like the TF.

    Is RedLynx sleeping that there aren't more wrenches?
    This is a "Listing of Wrench Holders - Make your nominations here thread", and we did nominate very much, but RedLynx only gave 1% award of the nominations of them.

Just an thought, I'd be interested to see if the skill game builders feel this is a positive or negative idea.
    well, there aren't very much skill game builders around here. It would be better if 80% trials wrenches and 20% skill games wreches.

    I nominate these high quality skill game creators:

    dasraizer (if two awards is possible)
    keenan the pro
    ANDY BMXBandit
    Jarr3tt88
    sparkierjonesz (if two awards is possible)
    GCS Insane
    JaminBen007 (if two awards is possible)
    crz3 Olaf

    I think that it's become a joke IMO, if someone is making decent tracks and doesn't get a wrench just because he or she missed out as he or she was the 51st person that could of got one and 50 is the margin they set it all at would be barbaric.

    It's more like saying he or she doesn't deserve one cause we say so, that makes all their effort in making tracks go to waste only if the person is trying their best to earn one.

    Im not sure they have an official cap on how many they are handing out. I just pulled out the number 50 as an example to say "hey, even if they give out this many it still isn't much".

    But yeah I know what you mean. I know talk is cheap, but I think it's best to just always build for fun or for whatever other reason track building gives you satisfaction. Hoping for a wrench is just asking to become bitter and disappointed (unless you already have one that is). As I've said many times before, if you aren't enjoying what you are doing, why bother in the first place? Best to build as though wrenches and RL picks don't exist and if one comes along cool, if not life goes on. But as I said...talk is cheap.

    Personally, I think Willy's suggestion is best. Just hand them out as deserved. IMHO even if they hand out to most of the people who deserve one it will still amount to something fairly rare - whether that matters or not.

    All just my 2 cents and nothing more.

    Nah, I think RedLynx currently doesn't look at the XBLA forum because they're too busy on the Gold Edition. I hope that there would be more RedLynx community members helping for the forum and on RLP.....and wrenches!

    I thought you did a really good job making Crow's Dojo 2. I liked it more than Crow's Dojo from HD -> A track that royally pissed me off on several occassions. Anyways, I hope you make some more cool tracks in the future even if I do hate you because you live in stinky old Missouri where stinky people live I guess I'll nominate a few people for wrenches while I'm here who I think make the best tracks that I constantly enjoy.

    My nominations are JesusMauler, Medieval Genius, PASSDATGOOD, oXCuBXo and..

    * KaliniuS -> Here's a guy that's contributed a ton of solid tracks consistently in the past. He's been chosen for RedLynx picks, has tracks in the highest Rated In Trials, and he has multiple five star tracks. If you add up his total downloads for every track that he's released the total number would top over a million downloads. This guy, like so many others, invested or invests a **** load of time and in my opinion should have been one of the FIRST people to get a wrench. Search for Kalinius on TC and then compare him to a few people that have wrenches; and I'm not saying you should compare in a negative or positive way, but in my opinion I think he fits pretty f**king snug with the rest of the talented creators who already have a wrench. I guess I'm still scratching my head over this non-decision by RedStynx.

    Oops.. RedLynx* clumsy me.
