I know I'm new around this parts

but i still have a few remarks i want to make. Merely stating a few things, no criticisim or corrections, i could never.
One of things i wanted to say is that you should've invested a little bit of time on the background. Not that it needs it, but it would make the piece feel a lot more complete. I'm a big advocate of doing backgrounds, even though you have a majestic piece at the front, because they tell a story. With a background you can really immerse the people playing your track into the feeling or situation you want to depict. Whenever i look at any of your other tracks, i see completed pieces, but with this one i see a lot of white space, that contrasts too much with the abundance of grafitti, and messes with my perception of the track. Just saying that with a little background you would elevate your own piece even higher.
Now, stating the obvious, the file size. There's no way we already got to the point of freerider where a 20 second track is
8 Mb. I know shading by hand is really tiring, and obviously doing this by hand would have been torture, but at least try and optimize your shading blocks, because this is gonna be a problem for you in the future. Imagine you're trying to make a track and suddenly you realize the file size is already over 10 Mb and you can't keep going, thats devastating! So even though im not the dude to talk about copy pasting (ahem, SCREAM MY NAME, ahem) you should try and optimize as much as you can.
Otherwise really lovely track, really fresh compared to the other featured tracks these days, and my absolute favorite style, so its a yes from me, and as they say, always a good day when malishya posts, Отличная работа!
