Yeah I know that lol, I just think some of the names are flawed, some of them don't make sense, and some of them are wrong.

I agree. Regarding the new names for tricks, at first a couple years ago when people started naming 'new' tricks I just rolled my eyes at the kids that thought they were coming up with new stuff when none of it was new and most could be easily described with combos of existing tricks. But having made a trick race map, I find it's very handy having names for those interesting combos. If I'd had to describe all the tricks that could be broken into smaller tricks, I'd have run out of room in a lot of places, and I'm sure people would be far more confused trying to decypher them than looking up some single named trick. I did try to include a couple of alternate names for old tricks that got renamed, but really I figure it's the most popular and well-known name that counts, not the oldest.

As far as some of the inconsistent names and naming schemes in the map go it's mostly because I was too lazy when making the map and just figured I'd let the replay I'd make of the map sort things out. By the time I made the first trickrace map I'd forgotten most of the old school names of any of the tricks that existed, and a lot of things were named by asking whoever I was testing the map with at the time.

I don't know if I actually followed this rule or not ('cause I might've just copy/pasted arch or mexi depending on what was closest ), but I like to say arch flies higher than it does long, and mexi flies longer than it does high.

"Swing to Spike" This is a cool move actually, but why call it swing to spike, and not an entirely different name? Like a dragon is just a "swing" then a shadow but isn't called a swing to shadow...

I like it too, if anyone wants to name it go ahead. I've already had to name more than I'd like just trying to describe things for these maps.

You make a really good point when you say it's handy to have those names for this Trick Race, I totally agree with you mate, sorry I never looked at it from this point of view but yeah you are right.

It's a really nice map mate, honestly, good job, and you have done an outstanding job being a MOD and taking care of this Challenge

And the people settings the records are just incredible to be able to do so many of these moves consecutively.

I am indefinately impressed

Ye swing to spike is a trick that is commonly used but it doesn't have it's name... That's maybe because it loose it's powa when spike is made by inertion of long swings so only short ones have point...

Btw In this map it's nice that you can connect that trick with next one(outlaw to swing I think) into one relatively big combo
I noticed even on more places that kind of "connectivity" and that is probably the thing that keeps me trying this map!

gawd, i'm trying so often to beat my time, but just failing !
f4st, what's with 25 min time ? 

I've been with the fuked flu these days, no energy to try it.

Will start to try tomorrow, but 25 it's so hard, it needs 1st map in 9 mins, 2nd in 9 mins and 3rd in 7 mins with the fuked hard Nova xD.

But 26 will be done

I still can't do first part in less then 12 minutes... 2nd I do usually in 9 and less but I always stuck at tricks in 3rd part... fly to fly at beginning, swoosh to dragon/arch, lg arch... NOVAAA!

Damn this is so much fun!

My exam is tomorrow so I am back into serious competition soon again!

me 2 xD.

Did around 10 attempts and missed all.

At one attempt did 1st map in 8 mins, 2nd in 9, but failed at last map.

Alien da nub won, congrats

thank you f4st, i was yesterday like you at fly to fly in the third map by 18 minutes, but then failed !
i just gave up, cause i was too tired...wish this challenge goes longer.
thank you also fluffy, this challenge was really nice and cost me many nerves !

Ye was awesome challenge...we expect more trick race maps from you, and hope for a challenges on them

I never succeeded to go first part in less then 12 minutes... I don't know how you guys can do that! Other parts I do pretty good I think... :\

EDIT: btw alien... nice signature... gonna steal it from you

Congrats to Alien and thanks to everyone who participated in this challenge. There were some truly impressive records set here, and even just finishing the map is a feat in itself, so great job to everyone.

Before I make the changes, is everyone OK with me listing their names on the map for beating it? And is Alien OK with me linking to it as an example replay?

If I do make any more trickrace maps, it won't be for quite a while. Though I might have a handful of ideas left over I didn't use if anyone wants to make a collaboration map.

Ahh... I have trick race in plan too that I will do with fire lord when we both finish our current projects, but if you don't start your map 'till then we can join our forces and make something really epic

btw you can put my name on the map

sure i am ok with it

hey

know my record isn't very well, but for me - a newbie - it was very hard work and it makes me happy to post it here


btw, are u still working on a 25mins run?
