Hi fellow gamers. I have been playing Trials Evolution since it first came out on XBLA, and Trials HD before that.
I am good/very good at the medium to hard tracks, with a few ninja difficulty tracks under my belt.
I have created a few tracks of my own. The first 2 are very simple and not very good.
However, the tracks
OLD TOWN (which i released several copies of, I thought it would just replace the old release)
and SKYFALL
of which I am proud of.
They are quite raw, not much going on in the background, as I concentrated more on the actual gameplay of the tracks.

If you have the opportunity please check out my tracks and rate accordingly. Thanks

Hi mate, always happy to welcome new folk. Good idea to list your tracks in one thread and regularly update/bump it as you release new tracks. I'll go check 'em out and go through some of the new creator threads Ive seen pop up lately.

edit: Played and rated Skyfall and old town, not sure if you want feedback though?

Thanks for the welcome D2Dahaka.

Hope to hear from you soon on what you think of my tracks.

I take it you're pretty new to building right? I'm not a building guru by any means, but best advice i can give is go look at some of the tracks in the Red Lynx picks and take some tips from things those tracks.

Consistent obstacles that behave the same way every time you hit them (best not to include gimmicky things like pinball flippers in the driving line) test your driving lines a lot, chances are if u crash a lot in testing others will do a lot more.

Support all your ramps/platforms ( Don't have them floating mid air without reason ) and last but not least spend a lot of time on each track including decoration to make it look like somewhere. Best to focus more energy on one good track than on lots of average tracks and you'll have better success that way.

These are only some points of advice I can offer. Glad to see you have a go though and hope my feedback doesn't discourage you. Becoming a good track builder takes a lot of time and effort and the ability to take feedback from others on board IMHO.

Good luck with your next project mate. Glad you took my feedback constructively, but like I said I'm hardly an authority on the subject and can only offer advice based on the knowledge/experience I've acquired thus far.
