    The difficulty difference

    i just bought trials gold edition today and within 2 hours and 21 minutes playtime i got about 221 medals ^^. anyways
    i heard trials HD was harder than trials evolution but when i had gotten to the extreme tracks on my first playthrough on the HD extremes i had gone 30 faults or less on all of them in comparison from the first playthrough of evo extremes i had got 450 faults or less.

    were the HD tracks dumbed down to fit the evo pheonix in with the physics of the maps? i am saying this because i think HD is far far easier that trials evolution.

    From what I've heard, the EVO physics have made some obstacles from HD easier to pass. But dont quote me on that as I dont have Gold and may be wrong.

    The Evo bike is better than the HD one, so yeah the courses are easier than they were in HD.

    i think it's more along the lines of it's easier to get traction on the evo physics engine than HD's, rather than anything different with the bike

    but yes, it's easier than HD was, some techniques / routes i just couldn't do on HD no matter how long i tried, did them first time on evo gold...also, is it just me, or is inferno II...erm... wrong....i'm sure there were 3 slanted ramps, not just 2.......

    the HD phoenix was like trying to steer a tank...it felt very heavy...the evo phoenix has far more durability and feels a heck of alot lighter..For us HD players, it felt very weird at first...but like with everything, you get used to it...

    well, i was terrible at HD for months, then evo was released, and i could be terrible at trials in a whole new way...now i'm terrible in the new way, on the old tracks...but it is easier to control, when you're used to it like Morfy says....indeed the reaction times of the bike are what appear to have changed, making some techniques easier, but also making others harder (when you get some bouncing going on, without the skill to control it)

    now large jumps are not a problem, it's more remembering where to slow down and not clown into the scenery

    not sure about it being more durable, mine still pops randomly, but i suppose when you go for some times, you're pushing it so close to the edge that getting it slightly wrong blows you to hell....anyways, now maybe time for a few runs before i go out

    Nope, there's three pallets but one is horizontal and the next two are the slanted ones, it was the same in HD
