So if you think you are good at this game - you are not, we all suck. haha.

I have no illusions, I know I suck .  What I like about the game is that it's fun even if you're not great at it on the easier tracks, but it's fun at the other end if you're really good as well (well, that seems to be what people are saying ).

I think you'll do alright out of it - it's not really one of my go-to genres, and got it mainly because Clowny's got good taste and was pretty excited for it, and I've been very impressed.  Even if I didn't plan to touch the track builder, it'd be decent value.  It's very much a "one more run to try and beat XXX's time" game, and really well designed for it (you can just race against a particular player's ghost, for example).  Good luck, I look forward to you trouncing my times .

So do I mate - even at track building. While the tracks I've done are okay, some tracks people make will blow you away.

Here's one example from Trials Evo.

Oh hey - it's bloody ridiculous, I agree.

Those ninja skills are insane - some people clearly have way too much time on their hands!

[motoboy76]

yep that is insane.....

[GasClown]

lol Hasan trying to beat my times.The snow track I kept getting like .016 secs behind, was a mickey in it - finally got it though... so get back to work. haha.

[Hasan-I]

So, this game... good buy. A lot of fun so far. Was going to just try and smash out golds, then i got hooked on trying to beat peoples times. I watched your run, it is A LOT different to mine. I am not sure the best way to get times. I thought that flips would work better for momentum, but watching yours, it seems that isn't the case. Might try and beat ya tomorrow!

Yeah a lot of people are using FMX tricks to get better times, I might have to give it a go. Definitely plenty of room for improvement in my run - that's the beauty of it.

[GasClown]

No Hasan.

With that aside, started to build a track but have decided that I'm already sick of it and want to do something a little more clever. Set myself up a testing room so living in there playing around with things. Some shit in the editor is pretty darn complicated but once you figure it out it all makes sense.

[Hasan-I]

These FMX tricks are confusing as hell. I can never figure how to do the right trick.

Yeah I suck at it as well. Takes me quite a few attempts to get a decent enough run.

Had the family up last week, so played some of this in couch MP mode with my brother, and it's tops fun, really well done other than the DNF's (don't stack after someone's finished).  Highly recommend giving it a look to people with half an eye on that kind of thing .

[Jykel]

hehe a few years ago it would have looked like this Axe


Its a great remake/reboot of the old Kikstart/BMX Trials

[Axe99]

Hahaha, those were the days .  I know it wasn't exactly the same, but I remember playing the BMX parts of California Games, on a system older than many gaming journalists around today - those were the days .

[motoboy76]

Me too buddy.....

[GasClown]

One of the tracks I'm missing out on without an XB1...

[Axe99]

That looks pretty slick Clowny!  Commiserations, I reckon decent communities will build up on all of its released platforms, but it's a shame they couldn't have the tracks cross-platform .

[Jykel]

Yeah shoulda made the track format independent of the platform.  Maybe a PS player will copy it for ya GC
