Okay, so I'm a noob. I didn't expect to get a gazillion DL's for my tracks! But...
My first track got over 1200 DLs and about 140 reviews. (mostly good from what I can tell, it's got 4 stars) The second got 138 DLs with 8 reviews. (again 4 stars so far) The third, 39 DLs with 5 reviews. (again ranking 4 stars overall) see the trend?
Okay, so I understand that most peeps like the short rides where as these three tracks can't be done in under 5 minutes. (c'mon U ninja riders, hang in there for more than 30-45 seconds!) But gimme a chance y'all! I built these tracks to be challenging without going all ninja. They are well thought out, planned & executed. (and thoroughly tested!) No ramps in mid air, or runs through undecorated terrain. No jumps or obstacles that need 200 retries til ya luck into getting past. No lame-O 10 second tracks to get a cheevo. No obstacles that you get stuck on, in, or under (literally) because your not running the same pace that the builder did when he/she ran his/her track one time to share it! I have recieved feedback from a few elite riders, and have taken it all into consideration as I build each new track.
My tracks are not easy, and they are challenging for anyone who can ride for more than a minute at a time! Give them a try huh? They look pretty decent too, from what I have heard!
Ktulu Calls!
Whiplash Mountain
Cliff 'Em All
And for those of you who like to ride more than a minute but less than 5 or 6... Stay tuned for Jump In The Fire! Platinum time will be around 3:45! I'll be finishing that one in a few days!
I welcome any and all feedback. Post here, PM, or hit me up on XBL!
Thanx riders.
The Trials community, not so much on the forum, but in general are just stupid. They cling to crap and reject greatness. It's annoying and embarrassing. Sorry you got the crap end of the deal.

Yo!
I won't call anyone stupid, except for the losers who post new tracks that are (s'cuse me) really weak. I never see any of those peeps posting here anyway. I just got annoyed because I've spent like 3 or maybe even 4 HUNDRED hours on my humble junk, while I see these chit creations that peeps make in 20 minutes in the most popular categories all the time. Sometimes 3, 4, or more on the same night, in the time it takes me to get up to take a dump! (not to PO anyone who is good, I always send msgs to everyone whose level I play that I like, even if it's too hard for me to finish at the time. Y'all know who you are!)
I just want a few more peeps to try my tracks. Building is fun for me and I am getting better. Thanx for the feedback Sharpie, maybe I'll see you on my leaderboards then! If not, then at least some time in multi. I'm no ninja, but I can shred a bit!
*UPDATE* Jump In The Fire will have a gold medal time under 3 minutes. Platinum TBD...

Tracks sound very interesting man,
I'll admit to being someone who prefers a shorter run but only in terms of competing for times,
Will give yours a try during the day and shout back.

In a nutshell mate...too hard for the length of them.
The first thing I noticed before I even downloaded was some friends were on the LB with like 50 faults over 20 mins,
If I hadn't posted earlier that I'd play them that would have been enough to put me off straight away I'm afraid,
I ran through anyway, I ran out of time on 'ktulu calls' thats never happened me before and almost made me not try the others,but I did, the phoenix wasn't available and this led to a lot of frustration trying to get the tractor up and over most climbs and big jumps...
As there is absolutely no chance I can zero fault these tracks I wont play them again, but I will try out
Jump in the fire if its not so long and the phoenix is in there,
Its not the difficulty or the length but both together push them just beyond fun into hard work sorry to say.
I not talking about the veteran forum members. I'm talking about the noobs that came about because of track central. They are the biggest morons ever. They throw out twenty tracks a day and everybody loves them because they don't have the slightest clue what a good track is.

Hey, the reason you're getting less downloads is because less and less people are playing the game nowadays.

I'll play em next time I'm on... Just coz if the metallica references

I'll play your tracks. Sadly 1000+ downloads now is rockstar status on track central.
