List Official Featured Ghosts

We already have a new update to announce soon. Plenty of ghosts were reviewed, maybe not all of them but I'll announce it soon.

Edit: Making the post right now.

 

UPDATE:

Hey, guys! What's up? After a while, it's time for a new update. We did review something around 60 ghosts, I'll put a list with the ones that we agreed on feature with some commentary, and add a bit of commentary for a few of the ones we didn't feature.

Here is the list of new featured ghosts:

From TuttiFruity:
frhd.co/t/295513/r/tuttifruity - This is a good update for Tuttifruity. This first feature is on a competitive offroad track. You had a nice flow and speed, and although your beginning wasn't the best, the competition is insane, many great ghosters on the leaderboard, so it makes the recovery way harder. Also, we think that it'll be nice to attract more people to the track, and a featured ghost can help a bit with that. It's already a really good ghost, but let's see you guys can improve it.
frhd.co/t/713010/r/tuttifruity - Another really solid ghost, with a great leaderboard. Small mistake at the 13.5 seconds mark and it could be a slighly smoother transition at the 15 seconds mark, but it's overall pretty fast and really consistent, so it's another feature.
frhd.co/t/166892/r/tuttifruity - You might remember this, but a long time ago when you didn't have any features you suggested a ghost where you did a wheelie almost through a whole track, but made 1 small mistake and I said that you could have the feature if we did it through the whole thing. Months later, you finally did it (in a different track, I believe), showing an awesome control and consistency. We think it's fair to crown you with a trickghost feature on this track! Congrats for the 3 new features.

From mR..A:
frhd.co/t/715818/r/mr..a - The ghost is unreal as most of mR..A's trickghosts, but more than that, he showed us that it's possible to find new tricks after years on this game. Trick at the seconds mark was superb, the one at the seconds mark was nice as well, and then there's so many cool wheelies and flips to count. Another awesome trickghost feature for mR..A.
frhd.co/t/715618/r/mr..a - Surprised to see how much you can make in such a small and limited space. Also some unusual tricks, like that transition between the 6-8 seconds mark. Amazing job as always!

From BrendanMagill:
frhd.co/t/713218/r/brendanmagill - Even though you had a death and a couple of mistakes, this ghost has an impressive endurance, and it's long enough for it to be relevant. A nice competition in the leaderboard in a tough challenge to beat almost deathless. Solid stuff, another feature for you!

From Cork:
frhd.co/t/446203/r/cork - This ghost is so impressive. Small slow spot at the beginning of the climb at the end, but it's a very hard track to beat without deaths, plus it has a nice competition and the track itself is challenging. Really good stuff from Cork. Congrats on the feature, man! You will be added to the list when we update the main post.

From Calculus:
frhd.co/t/10013/r/precalculus - After many suggestions, I think it's finally the time to give a featured trickghost to Calculus. I think your trickghosts were getting better after each suggestion, so I figured you would probably get there eventually. We discussed this one a little bit, and although it isn't that diverse on the tricks, the tricks that were made were executed very well, and the flow was good. So that's it. A featured trickghost for Calculus. Congrats!

From Ultraviolet:
frhd.co/t/714294/r/ultraviolet - First of all, I would be lying if I said that those ghosts doesn't seem to good to be true. But that's the point of the featured ghosts: defy what is possible to do in this game. This first ghost is insane. Tubes done like never before. Really impressive stuff.
frhd.co/t/712894/r/ultraviolet - If it's hard to do a tube ghost with BMX, it's way more insane to complete a track with many curve tubes with MTB. Another insane ghost.
frhd.co/t/683736/r/ultraviolet - A shorter one, but it doesn't mean it's less impressive. Brake techniques, curve tubes, bombs and a much more stuff in an incredible short ghost, good enough to make us want to make an exception for the the 15 seconds rule for fast ghosts. We made this exception for those 3 ghosts, because they are way too hard to replicate, due to the difficulty of the tracks.

From Whisk:
frhd.co/t/9007/r/whisk - Although there's a mistake between the 6-8 seconds in the ghost, it's a broken auto, with an auto cut really hard to do. But somehow, Whisk pulled it off, so we think it's a feature. Congrats, Whisk!

Ghost Under Review:
frhd.co/t/530004/r/madara - Maybe some of you guys noticed, but we put the "UR" mark in this ghost from Madara, meaning it is "Under Review". He beat Zycerak's ghost but with a very clear death in the ghost, that made us think if we should unfeature this in order to see if people can optimize this ghost more. For now, it's still a feature, but we are talking about it and might come to a veredict to be announced in the next update or earlier. In my opinion, the track is harder than it looks, but I think that for now put it under review is the best thing to do. It'll still be counted as a Madara's featured ghost in the ranking, but with an observation in [ ] showing that there's 1 ghost under review.

PS: All of those ghosts should be counted and updated in the main post by tomorrow. Also, I'll let Polarized work on a name tag for Cork. Congrats again to everyone who got a feature! For the ones who didn't keep trying!

Personal comments about some ghosts we didn't feature:

From NotVeryGood:
frhd.co/t/1903/r/campaigned - There's an even better ghost with the Popularized account, but we don't think it's a feature. Legendary cut, but not long enough and probably not worthy of an exception.

From Polarized/Selesele:
frhd.co/t/510185/r/selesele - Flips were great, wheelies were too. But the glitchy ground and some parts with slow motion made this way easier than it should be. Compared to other "flip based trickghosts" like mR..A's on Meraki, this one had those advantages with the ground and slow motion. It's still a good one, but other than those flips on glitchy ground, slow motion wheelies and a bit of no-slow motion wheelies, there wasn't much more to it. Almost there for us, but not there yet.
frhd.co/t/719981/r/selesele - No slow motion, no glitches, some nice controls. This is the way, but this specific one was way too repetitive.

Additional observation: Try to avoid slow motions, focus on getting better at the controls and tricks without that, because you seem to be already good using the slow motion, that are good for training at first, but can be problematic in order to train advanced reflexes for tricks and control.

From nhdtop:
frhd.co/t/2372/r/nhdtop - Track is to easy. Started great but then after the middle you started to get way too much air time, which make the opponents get closer. If we had like 30 more seconds of track, JoPro or EdwardE might have beaten you. No feature.

From Alex-P:
frhd.co/t/715224/r/alex-p - I'm liking to see your improvement from previous suggestions. This shows that your control is getting better, I think you'll get somewhere. Nice flips.
frhd.co/t/76737/r/alex-p - Really decent controls, if you can combine those different tricks in one ghost you might have a shot.
frhd.co/t/167115/r/alex-p - The flip touching the roof to an endo was awesome. Sadly there wasn't much more than that in the ghost, but keep trying.
frhd.co/t/455953/r/alex-p - Save at the 3 seconds mark shows a really good brake control.
frhd.co/t/715618/r/alex-p - Not your best ghost, but it's your best attempt to combine tricks. That's the spirit, keep trying. Maybe work on some smoother transitions, some riskier tricks and it might be the right way for you to improve.
frhd.co/t/546244/r/alex-p - Too short, but that beginning was dope.
frhd.co/t/716062/r/alex-p - This one almost made it to the list. It's a decent cut, but not the best one. The time is definitely improvable. The beginning was nice, but wasn't the fastest. The dope thing about this ghost was that flip over the "90 sign". It was awesome! And do this and still manage to complete the cut and get 1st place is nice. But since auto cuts can be shorter, they have to be the fastest possible, so it was a no. But it's a really nice ghost.
frhd.co/t/718290/r/alex-p - This ghost was considered for a bit, because it's really good. Really nice brake flips. But since it's a short ghost, in a track that helps those kind of tricks, we expect a bit more than that in order to be a featured ghost.
frhd.co/t/720245/r/alex-p - I can say from my own personal experience that create hard trials and trying to beat them is a good way to improve your skills. Keep doing what you are doing!

Additional observation: You are doing good, man! You just need to work of some transitions, riskier tricks, longer ghosts and you might have a featured trickghost someday.

From Calculus:
frhd.co/t/467740/r/notcalculus - This is dope. I think it would be an easy yes if you didn't die twice. If you want to try again, it's an almost certain feature if it's done deathless with your pace.
frhd.co/t/180982/r/notcalculus - Nice for beating with BMX, but I don't think it was something special about the ghost. Also, the ending could have been done better.

From Strawberries:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/435363/r/strawberries - That's really good. Wish you had stayed on one wheel longer at the end and made a few more tricks, because it would be something to put your ghost on another level. Out of all of the tracks, you choose the one with already 3 featured trickghosts on it, haha. So, in order to get a featured ghost there, you had to at least be as good as the other ones, since there were many ways to explore the track already.

Your ghost is good, but let's compare to the others:
frhd.co/t/435363/r/mr..a - He did the whole track in a MTB reverse wheelie, never done before. Hard to beat that.
frhd.co/t/435363/r/teamcaesar - He did the whole track in a BMX endo (wheelie with the front wheel), which shows an unbelievable control and awesome break technique.
frhd.co/t/435363/r/lordcarl71 - I don't like to talk about my own ghosts that much, but I did 14 flips on this ghost, and did most of the rest of the track on wheelies and endos, so it's a good balance of tricks to have in the ghost.

Your ghost was cool, but aside that front flip it was pretty much accelerate doing a wheelie for a while ---> press z --> brake backflip --> repeat, which is good, but since we already have 3 featured trickghosts on the track, it has to be a bit more than that, since is easier to do this kind of tricks on this track. There was a good time on one wheel in most of the track, but the end lacked it a bit. Also you did 7 flips, with is good, but you could have done a few more in order to try to get a featured ghost. Still impressive, though. Keep going.

frhd.co/t/718290/r/strawberries - Wish it was a bit longer, but still very good. 10 flips in less than 14 seconds. Nice as well, but it's too short.

Additional observation: Take the advice I gave for Alex-P. You are both doing well on trickghosting, just need a few things to work and improve on. Keep trying!

PS: Other non-mentioned ghosts were probably too short, too easy or with too many mistakes. Also, if it's a really recent suggestion, we might have not reviewed the ghost yet. Also, if you want additional or specific feedback on any ghost let us know.

PS2: Yeah, it took me 2 and a half hours to write the post, lol. Sorry for the delay.
