Very plain, the jumps don't kick you like they should.

Didn't change it much at all. I redid that S berm you mentioned, but it's still faster to just ride over it. I also lowered the four jumps before the second sand turn.

I must agree. It's an easy track, but not a replica. The whoops should be slower, taller, and more challenging, after the first sand section, the triple into the corner should be doable (more pop), the finish line jump is really low and mellow, and I feel the sand needs some ruts in it like we'll see in real life.

[Jones221]

Exactly.

I thought it would've been taken over.. haha. I honestly thought the textures seemed a bit plain, i thought the textures from the previous track would have been put in. I don't think there is any way around getting people not to just jump the S curve. And the whoops aren't that tricky, as said many times. I think if the finish line was any bigger/smoother on the take-off, you would be landing in the turn... I made the jump right on, on the track map, and i think they made it with too much of a straight before, because you can get some nice speed if you really try.

And a few more things..
1) The wood pieces are underneath the stadium on the short sides, the dirt goes right up to the edge
2) I like the darker dirt
3) No yoyo trucks, party unlimited, or fast channel bales

The sand is definitely a bit ordinary. As I said when the beta was released, the bumpy feel needed to be removed, and rolling whoops and/or ruts needed to be added.

The same whoops used in all the other tracks should have been used here. These are not going to split the good riders from the not so good.

The triple warning lights should be active. Its not that hard to do... and the normal map for that thing seems to be inverted. Its like its pointing in instead of out, if that makes sense


Best time so far is 1:03.2. With a stack

awesome track , i love it

[sam351]

The track is fun. It is different, and has some fast sections, and some sections that you must be careful on. I like the section with the dragons back and the 3 rollers after then triple... very fast. So I just did a few laps my time is 1.07

The dirt is unchanged, but the lighting is lower. I figured using the altered logos on the bales would be worse than using the real logos. There could possibly be a legitimate trademark dilution issue there.

[Pumaxcs]

So umm, to put this how I feel or nicely? Crap is a good clean word. Whoops are way to easy, sand is horrible, the tables are just basically rollers with a flat spot, no lip to them to get into a rytehm and no pop off of them to step off, the s turn should have bales in the center around on the midde berm you know like they would in the real race. I'm sure that some people will dissagree with me but I really don't care, more people agree.
