you can do more harm than good with smudge most the time. YZ, PM me and I'll get you my msn address if you want help. I know some good quick easy tips.
There will be ruts in each corner to give multiple line choices. The two bigger jumps you see there are 3rd gear jumps with 0-0 gearing. The track mixs slow sections with fast sections really well right now.
I've thought about it for a long time, and I've come to the conclusion that the thing that makes really good tracks (ie Jagmeister tracks for MvA) is a mix of really slow and really fast sections (variety of speed).
Don't go too far with the ruts, sometimes ruts actually limit line choices thru a corner. And the physics of this game allow you to square up, flat track, or look for berms to bust so they don't need as much help as you'd think.

Your ruts on mx488 as it's named was good as hell. make them something like that
good tracks for me are very realistic one like like cypress hollow, windcott,undadilla, timber hill, hurricane, lodge forest... with jump real (not some where you fly in the sky at like 30 meters high) and nice ruts (i like the one of cypress hollow, unadilla, timber hill). more real the best! but with ddmx leading the project i m sure something great is going to come along!

Contrast is indeed one of my theories for a good track. You need slow sections to make fast sections fast. You need small jumps to make big jumps feel big. You need enough of something to set a standard and a small sprinkle of something to make an exception to stand out. Flow comes from combining these contrasting elements in a logical order to create beats.
