Hot Shoe Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Not my intention at all dude. Sorry I failed there. Since we are on the subject of custom tracks, and in an attempt to get this topic back on track (no pun intended), are ya'll getting ready for freestyle!?! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roach Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 That is sheer sexyness Hot Shoe. My take on the track variation. I would actually like to see more pre-2008 tracks. Even some from the 90's with a freestyle twist to it. I think that would be AWESOME. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjamfan22 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just to verify like almost the track i made with the 3 lanes? Ill make more but 2 lanes and since i have a feel for em now hopefully i can make em better bc that one wasnt that good. And NO backflip ramps. But we need more older trucks if that idnt to much to ask. Itd be old trucks on old tracks;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klayton Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 If you're talking about editing Lake City, I suggest redoing most of the jumps since they rape the trucks......especially the jammer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDeezie82 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hot Shoe and MJF, awesome tracks fellas! Look forward to spending time on them soon. Just curious though MJ. How does racing work on that track? Kinda hard to tell from the pic where it starts and ends. Either way, awesome work guys. Let's keep it up. Hopefully soon I can try my hand at making some decent tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriotic Canadian Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hot shoe, one thing i'll say, is that straight, single faced ramps handle much worse then actual extruded curved ramps. less fidelity and skill involved in hitting single faced ramps. and if you do the curved lips right, they all have a nice weight to them as well that makes each jump more satisfying, which really brings up the overall impression of a track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klayton Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Harlow, Me and a few others are beta testers for this track and none of them are single faced. and handles VERY nicely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Shoe Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 On which jumps are you talking about? I don't mind looking into it but I've had no complaints from my beta testers (Rock, Tom P., and John Cavallini among others)... After seeing Rock's post, the pic's probably don't do this track justice. It's hard to get a good track shot on a venue this big with these many obstacles without risking spamming the topic with numerous shots from every angle. Beta testing has gone off without a hitch. On to the last few final steps. Thanks for the input and interest, though! :D And monster jam fan, that's a sweet looking track! I like the racing layout!

Patriotic Canadian Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Van stack at the lower left and the blue stack at the upper left on the second image look single faced, which is what spurred, and i'm a pedantic mofo, just seen too many sketchup tracks that handle like a sack of soggy bricks, gives me a twitch reaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Shoe Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 The only single faced hits are the blue van stack (the bread van as I call it), the yellow bus stack on the opposite side of the track and the rv hit are single faced. These obstacle are challenging enough being right against the wall. Both stacks also trip the rear of the truck and throw the nose down and forward realistically, and the rv is easy and fun to trip over, while the side hits for the rv are easy enough at lower speeds. Just don't hit those ramps at high speed and you'll be alright. Slow down and setup the jump like you would for a jammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriotic Canadian Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Alright, sounds good to me. just always nice to avoid really simple ramps as a rule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
