• #4 is ~~~Ride the Waves~~~ by ShelbyLowry . In this ocean track you are a surfer who surfs the waves! (duh)
• #3 is Gravity Mania 3 by LucJohnson . This is the 3rd track in the series of amazingly fun tracks by the name of "Gravity mania".

• #2 is Epic Escape by LucJohnson as well! In this fun action track it seems that you are a bank robber who has to escape to a boat to avoid getting arrested.

• And #1 is.. Learning a new skill part 2 by our very own JacobCahoon . This undetailed track teaches the rider how to go through a tunnel that is not high enough for the rider to pass through.

FRHD News interviews: ItZChuckNorris!!!
I had the pleasure to interview a free rider legend: iTzChuckNorris !

FREEZ : What was your first track? Do you think you have you improved since then? (links please )
iTzChuckNorris : http://canvasrider.com/tracks/190496 Is my oldest track on any database. I would say I have improved since then, considering I was 14 then. Now I am 20.

F: How did you get to your state of this high esteem in the Free Rider world? Do you have any thoughts on that?
ItZ: When Trackmill.com was in its heyday, I would spend a lot of time trying to get front page tracks, and I guess it paid off. A few people on the forums started to dislike me, but I didn't try to change what I was doing. It was pretty cool to see Canvas Rider become popular at my school and watch other people unknowingly play and comment on my tracks. Of course, I told them it was me.

F: Tell us about your latest track : Gravity Cave
ItZ: I basically just made it for the campaign. I was going to submit it with minimal detail, but I decided I should try to keep standards higher.

F: Do you have any new tracks planned?
ItZ: Not currently. The Canvas Rider Offline Editor always crashes and I am having a hard time getting used to the FRHD editor. It's mostly a lack of motivation, though.

F: How does it feel now that campaigns are out? What is your opinion on Trackmillion no longer being the second most played track?
ItZ: I'm not going to pretend like I wasn't watching the top played tracks. I don't think I've ever had the most plays on a single track on a web site (maybe trackmill, but I don't think there's a way to check), but top plays usually comes from an outside source. It would be nice to be top played, but it also doesn't really matter to me. I like the idea of campaigns, I just sometimes wonder if the tracks on it deserve the inevitable popularity. Some would wonder the same about my tracks, though. On the other hand, I think it's cool that newer tracks will have the opportunity to become top played.

F: Do you have any advice for up-and-coming track creators?
ItZ: Well I'm obviously not the best artist. So, the only advice I can give is make your tracks smooth and consistent with some average+ detail, and you will get good ratings. Try to be original, instead of just drawing forests, dirt jumps, etc.

F: Well thanks for your time! We really appreciate it!
