I honestly can't remember,
Didn't play HD, I actually started out playing evo casually, All i'd really play is skill games
Then started to play single player, got addicted and the rest is history

I started because I knew that I would be better than Burnzee, Shart, Max, Av8z, Clutch, and oOzi of course.

When me and Reaper392 (anyone remember him?) started goin back and forth on the HD pinball skill game and he gave up when i got 6th on it.

Reaper392 was the reason I started trying to speedrun Trials HD tracks we were pretty even when I first started, then it was other people as my skills increased. Never got to your level though Retribution. =P Beat lestropie on inferno 2 that was good enough for me.

Im not the best at the game but was very competitive with my friends, as im not really a gamer I thought it would be funny to beat all of their times....I did but then they all changed their opinion from 'this game is great' to 'this game is shi!'
I then made new friends and just wanted to beat them too, some I did but I know I'll never be good enough to beat some of the others, I have some very talented riders that im honored to be friends with

I never really had many dates around town, so when I saw my buddy who was ranked in the top 100 on Trials HD... hanging with a few hot busty female groupies....I figured this is what I HAD to do. The rest is history. Now, I need to beat women off with a stick. Of course, the animosity is always there when you tell someone you're a top ranked Trials player, but that is to be expected.
Actually, the real story is....I saw the preview for HD and thought it was a great concept. Purchased it the day it came out, then passed most tracks through the hard level. Naive as I was, I thought..."I'm almost done...just a few more tracks." Then I found out that Trials isn't about passing a track, but mastering a video game skill set. I became obsessed with medalist tracks...then with the Evo editor, it just sucked the life right out of me.
It's scary to think how much time is spent playing a game, but as most here know...Trials is a lifestyle, not a game.
