Rekstravaganza

A short word about the title of the track, it was a working title and meant to be a joke, but people really seemed to like it so I kept it on as the release title. I am aware it's a little bit pompous, but it's all in good fun. After my last track, which wasn't overly well received (wasn't badly received either, just not as well as my previous ones), I have taken a lot of extra time to make this track. It's a 42s long (although I have seen 41.x and I think 40.x may be possible too) Full Speed track designed to (hopefully) work well as an offline record hunt track, and also as a great online track. The blockmixed ring CP and wall sections are there to remove a very large cut that was found in the track during the beta stage, and yes I know i could have just used normal CPs in those spots, but normal CPs there would not have been respawnable, so I used the ring CPs to prevent respawning there at all.

Tetrahedron

Get ready for some intense FS action, because this is my fastest, hardest, and (imo) best track yet! This track was created as a tribute to my favourite server, Tet19 musicBarn, and all of the brilliant builders and racers who frequent it. (L) With a top speed of over 700km/h this is by far the fastest FS I have made yet, but in my normal style it will take you a while to build up to that speed. There are a lot more wallrides than I normally use, but I have tried to avoid the nonstop wallride to wallride style that usually goes with very high speed tracks. Times of 45.xx should be possible on this track.
Respawnable: Yes
Media Tracker: GPS/Intro/Outro/Race Cams
Custom Music: Cows With Guns
Author Time: 48.13s
Medals: 50.00s/54.00s/65.00s
Coppers: 4435C

------------------------------------------
Centripetal

This track received 12 in the first three days it was on TM-X, which is a better record even than my showcased track! This track starts out slow, but can build up to speeds of 700kph and higher. Tip: If you hit the first of the final barrels correctly, you will hit the next barrel and wallride perfectly with little, or even no adjustments! I'm very proud of this track.
MT: GPS/Race/Outro/Intro (my first "ghost" intro)
Music: Eazy-E - Boyz N Tha Hood (Warning: Contains explicit lyrics!)
Author Time: 45.14s
Gold/Silver/Bronze: 46.00s/50.00s/60.00s
Coppers: 4424

------------------------------------------
Squeeze

Duo track made with =WBKY=Canman, a challenging full speeder that we're both very proud of. It's quite challenging in sections but fun all the way. Some sections are not respawnable.
Author Time (by canman): 51.76s
MT: GPS/Intro/Cam
Custom Music: 1,000 Miles by Grinspoon

------------------------------------------
Criminal

My Follow up to my showcase track (see below) Pace. Intended to be slightly more challenging than Pace, this track contains more loops, jumps, drops and wallrides while (hopefully) maintaining the same energy and feel from the other track.
Respawnable: Yes
Author Time: 40.15s (38.x is possible)
MT: Intro/GPS/Race/Outro
Music: ACDC - If You Want Blood (You Got It)

------------------------------------------
Pace

My showcase track! It's almost (but not really at all) a shame this one got the showcase because I like my newer tracks better. Which is not to say this track is bad in any way, I still love it, and show it off when I can. To quote the showcase description it was given, "This track has a raw, aggressive feel, while still feeling as though you are in complete control." nothing I could write could sum it up as well as that, so that's all I'll say about it.
Respawnable: Yes
MT: Intro/Race
Custom Music: Superbeast (Porno Holocaust Mix) - Rob Zombie

------------------------------------------
No Brakes

My first try at making a full speed track. I went a little overboard with scenery in places, and I'm really not that happy with the final jump anymore (It cannot be taken full speed, so I probably shouldn't even call this an FS). Which is not to say it's a bad track, I learned a LOT about FS flow and handling high speed cornering from the mistakes in this track.
Respawnable: Yes
MT: Intro/Race
Custom Music: None.

------------------------------------------
So there's my FS tracks to date. I hope you enjoy them!

hm its a shame noone comments any tracks in this section. i mean, what is it for then?

These are all really incredible tracks.

You've definitely done some real amazing work here!

I'm not much of an expert level racer , either I suck or keyboards and expert tracks don't mix.

But you definitely deserve as much credit as these tracks have earned you!

@Chaotic_RPM
Thanks a lot mate! I use a keyboard too, but don't worry I suck as well . On some tracks it took me nearly three hours to set what I considered to be a fantastic author time, only to see the author time smashed online in 5 minutes by people who had never played the track before!

As for credit, I am loving that my name seems to be becoming more well known, but I'm (deservedly) far below the truly great great FS builders such as NLpwf and BLiNNeMaNs, but hopefully if I keep building tracks that I'm proud of, one day I might be considered among their elite.

@Ikku
I don't mind so much if my tracks don't get comments, or even awards (well, I do love getting awards, but I'm not too upset if I don't ). Mostly I posted my tracks here to give them some more exposure, and hopefully get played on a few more servers. That's the big prize for me, getting my tracks played online... I love going to a server I've never played before and finding that they have a few of my tracks in their /list.

I thought the intro to Rekstravaganza was funny, it is true most people just hit enter to skip the intro completely.

Don't know why I even bother making them...

Unfortunately Rekstravaganza left a bad taste in my mouth when it was all said and done cuz my power supply decided to go POOF while I was racing on it

Not your fault though, I'll keep racing on it until I get a decent time to post on TMX to help it along

Thanks a lot mate Although I must admit something terrible about the intro to rekstravaganza.... THERE'S A SPELLING MISTAKE IN IT! Aaaaaarrrrrrrrg! So horrible to discover that after it's been released, and it's such a minor thing to invalidate all the replays and mess up people's dedimania recs over.
