I think I worded the subject wrong, I do agree with your points DJ. This subject wasn't meant to debate getting RL picks.
If I wanted to play some great tracks I can go into the RL pick forum page and check out all the tracks that have been selected over time. The main point of the thread was to get the names of other tracks that are as good if not better than RL picked tracks as they tend to get lost in the huge volume of tracks that are released. I did see a thread that contains over 1000 great tracks but it was rather overwhelming. Tbh i only really expected to get a few tracks named, a few have been mentioned, thanks to the few who have put a track name down, I appreciate it

i wouldn't say it would have deserved a pick (becuase of the ninja difficulty in first place), but my "Dark Facility" track was the one i spend more then 2 month on and i was sure it was my best work in a very good track in general^^
unfortunately the trackfile was corrupted and nobody could play it and a reupload wasn't possible too
RLP imo, are to show some of the greatest tracks over the last week. sure they can't show all the good tracks because of the time but i'd appreciate i monthly longer episode of the RLP and show some more of the good ones

Squirrel's Morass, lots of things I make that are on the track go unnoticed, maybe I should stop making subtle things.
I know I did work quite hard on that one to try and make a fun but somewhat technical line with not just having an open map. I wanted a swamp sort of track hence morass being the name.
I did make squirrels yes but I did place them in funny positions to show they weren't lazily made but could show them off... I also made frogs, and a dog.
The squirrel that kills you at the end doesn't just disappear it actually gets recoiled into the snow after the shot was fired.

also the other animal, the owl when i noticd right was also cool. yeah, it's frustrating when a lot of work and a great idea won't get the deserved recognition...
i think the line was slightly too technical for the average trials player^^ but i liked it, even when it was tricky in the middle with the DK

The whole concept was to try something new and outside to see if I could do it.
Yeah the owl was cool but I preferred the squirrel coming out of the snow half way through just as you jump over the second part of the swamp next the checkpoint on the right side. I did love the blood splatter on the snow after the shotgun blast too though. Made me laugh when I was successful in making that bit.
Resuscitation was another track I put most of my hours into making.
Nice thread, nothing wrong with highlighting a track that some may have missed if you put a lot into it
I am happy to have them all presented here so when I get the time I can try the ones I missed.
Even though most of us play trails every day we will miss some great tracks.
I would rename it though, " Creators gems" or something
I guess Deathstar Pro was a track I was happy with, though I fully understand why there was no pick as it doesn't have any checkpoints. Also I'm sure there were many tracks out that were better than this one at the same time
I put a lot into the falcon and the animation on that track, also I was very happy with the line. I'm still happy with the opening few sec's

I disagree with 2witchy's post because I like to disagree without stating my opinion as to why Im disagreeing with what he had to say.
Point in case.
To be honest tho, I'd rather not have any of my tracks be a RL Pick because I personally do not like the recognition nor do I want it, but I rather enjoy building a track to build a track for my friends and for my own gratification.
I remember playing Sim City on Windows 95' (back in the day) and I loved building cities because it was fun, not because I knew I could share it or other people could potentially play it or see it and give me props about it. When I jump into an editor session on Evolution it reminds me exactly of Sim City but with the added bonus that people are getting to enjoy my creation. A creation, a vision, an experience you put together from "scratch" using the tools provided by the game creators.
To sum up how I feel..
F*ck a RL Pick.
I understand why it's there and why they do it, but count me out.
I build to build because its what I like to do.
Xzample speed runs, ClutchMystaFlex Ninjas, Striide sucks, Swag try's hard, and I build.
Everybody has their own thing.
