Haha, yeah hardest gold for me thus far.
What messed me up was that some of the water gusts forced you into a backflip for some reason. Or maybe that was just me not hitting them at the right angle? I don't know. Most of them seemed to just shoot me straight up, though.
I had one medium track where I was really getting nervous as I had repeatedly crashed before, but this was a sweet run. Got to the last hill and I hit the throttle too hard and started to backflip - ended up crossing the finish line upside down a fraction of a second before my head hit the ground killing me. Phew.

Almost finished the medium tracks and only found 2 squirrels so far. Haven't really been looking for them, though.
My friends and I last night talked about starting a google doc we can share and post the names of good tracks so that we can all see the good ones. That is how badly this feature is needed in game!
That's a great idea, though it can still be tricky to search for particular tracks in the game
Yeah, the only really awfull track design for me thus far. This one included too many "random" reaction to the splashes to feel "in control" I really hated it.
I prefer to break my teeth on something way harder but in which I can eventually control the bike reactions with "skill" rather than something like that where the "splashes" generates reactions that are almost impossible to anticipe precisely.
It's the hardest track I've done a gold on so far. I got used to a lot of the water bursts but near the end it would always destroy me. I'd either shoot up and land directly in one of the water pipes rather than the wooden planks (this happened so many times I had to take an hour break to prevent myself from destroying my 360), or the very final burst would send me into a spin, sometimes forward, sometimes backward, and since you kinda need to go with the spin to land properly, I always messed up.
My next track in the quest for gold though is Trials of Limbo. I hated, hated the cogs on that, so getting gold is gonna frustrate the hell outta me.

Watch the #1 replay for that track.

Having played Trials HD for years, it's amazing how much faster you fly through these tracks the first time. I'm really surprised the Extreme tracks weren't really any harder than the Extreme tracks on HD. I passed them all on the first try. Don't get me wrong...I still faulted many times but never actually failed out of a track like I did when first encountering Extreme on HD. I remember playing some user tracks on HD that were like another tier above the official Extreme tracks. Hopefully we'll start to see some like that soon.
And yes, the water jets track is awful.

yep, fun games last night, thanks for playing Orellio and Count.
loving the multiplayer aspect of the game. its quite fun.
as much as i hate the tracks with gimmicks and screwy physics, ill take that level over Mind bender any day. dont fuck with my gravity Trials!
do it! i only have 2-3 plats so far. maybe grab a few more today, still trying to finish all extreme trakcs. The Wreck is so fucking hard... i blast past your ghost only to get stuck on certain obstacles for 150 faults and you leave me in the dust. lol
i cant believe the box of doom on that track. so HARD!
no one posted the GAF leaderboard last night? boo!
i topped out at 1503. i might never be that high on the Global again.

Trials of Limbo felt easy to gold after the sewer one. It's pretty short and there are no mechanics (like the splashes) that feel random.

Are the people mentioning Gigatrack's length doing it because it's longer and not overtly difficult, they're new to the series, or never played the expert tracks in HD? I don't mean any of this hostile at all, I'm just wondering since it's not really a departure time-completion wise from latter parts of HD. Except it's much easier and earlier in the game progression.
I finally got a gold on storm sewer last night, that last splash kept flipping me backwards, its really hard to be consistent on that track.
I was getting really frustrated trying to get gold on prospector though, I keep landing awkwardly right before the last checkpoint at the top of the ramps and fall on my face, every, single, time.

huh? no, its closer to the length of a tournament than it is to any single track in HD. all of the expert tracks could be finished in a few minutes in HD. whats platinum like 6 minutes or something? thats like 3 times the length of any platinum time in HD. actually probably a lot more than 3x.
Oh God I'm not alone! Thank you lord! I was contemplating suicide after about 45 minutes trying to gold that one. I kept landing in the spouts toward the end. Still not done it on gold :/

maybe my 10+ minute times in expert tracks has painted my length opinion. I didn't platinum anything in HD. So moderately longer times, especially on Expert, weren't unusual.
I guess the problem with Gigatrack is there isn't a way to shorten it based on skill really, besides not faulting. Whereas on Expert tracks in HD you could cut your time down considering actual length wasn't long, just difficult. I understand.
I checked this out a little bit ago after you were talking about it last night... I couldn't even get past the first obstacle with those two logs standing up straight.
Then I load up whitehawk's replay and that punk breezes through the whole level in a minute and a half with like 10 faults. What a jerk.
For the last two bursts, lean forward (right before the bursts hit you).

It's a clever idea, but the jets are just too inconsistent.
They really aren't though. It's just that there are two or three that send you into a spin no matter what and it's hard to control out of.

LMFAO....19 mp events and I never knew "B" put you back on the bike....Christ...

The jets aren't bad once you figure out how they launch you. If you're level with the opening it'll launch you up in the direction of that plane, so for the ones facing forwards you have to go over them leaning forward or they'll send you into a crazy backflip.
As others have pointed out, they certainly are not.

XBLA only!
Thanks for the answer man, has RedLynx ever said why no PC? or is just exclusive to 360.

Sensible talk! I'm sure you'd find plenty of other Live Arcade titles you'd enjoy too.
SPEAKING OF SEWAGE PLANT
come at me bro
Very Nice. I can't get anything even near the top 100 on a level.
12th globally... I am still kind of in disbelief :lol

Played a private match with a few friends last night and we played on 4 random extreme tracks. It was clearly the longest multiplayer match ever, but so damn good. Loving this game
Haven't owned one since 2009 so there'd be plenty of games I've missed out on to play through. The main thing putting me off right now is the thought paying for live. Now Trials is being published by ubisoft is there any chance of it coming to other platforms?

You'd only need live to play online races. You can still download and upload tracks, race up the leaderboards and play against ghosts without it. Most of the great Live Arcade titles are single player focused, so you'd be OK. If you really want to try online races, just get live for a couple of months. Most of the games longevity will lie in the none-real-time-multiplayer content.
As for Ubisoft, I don't know. Trials Evolution is published by Microsoft. I think if it ever happens it'll be the next game, and god knows when that'll be. I think Red Lynx has a good relationship with Microsoft regarding the Trials licence, and given its huge success they don't really need to go elsewhere. Whether that's something Ubisoft can persuade or force, I'm not sure.
That's pretty much exactly how I sound when I play Extreme.
Love the game but my brain just cannot handle Extreme. Retrying the same two inches 150 times in a row just melts my brain and transforms me into a being of pure rage.

LOL at 2:30. Seriously this game is so much fun but it may make me rage more than any other game including Ninja Gaiden & COD MP.
That video is discouraging. I have no shot at those levels.

Finally released my first Trials level ever. Anyone want to have a crack at it?
Search for
Track name: Wrenchburg Stadium
or
Gamertag: Dirty Whirlwind (feel free to add me).
There's a steam code hidden somewhere on the track. Can you find it?
Time to jump in to play some single player.

LoL so true...hurts soooo good
Search results give nothing for your gamer tag.
Don't pay for live then.

You're sure you spelled it correctly? It works for me.
