    I'm not an artist by any means. But I really want to get 1 track on featured. I've got the ride almost done, the jumps are where I want them. I started detailing yesterday and dang I have more respect for what it takes to make a nice track. Here is what I spent hours and hours and hours on so far. Just wanna see if i'm doing something right.

    Featured track team doesn't like featuring smooth tracks.

    This probably won't get featured because what FREEZ said, bt I think this will get the #1 spot in the trending list. I love the tree! Is the track a skatepark?

    This is only what I did for starting detail. When track is done im going to give it to some good riders for a test before I detail it fully. I want it to be something like a monkiepark or a dropkick track but I'm not trying to copy them too heavily. This won't be done for a few months. (The amount of work to make that perfect small circle in this game is crazy)

    Why don't you try some more varied detail? Adding black lines on a pile of dirt is a turn-off for me, but not for noobs, strangely.
    And yeah, smooth tracks ain't gonna get you a feature. Try making a difficult trial or a good track with a mix of scenery detail.

    Which were featured before the feature staff were a thing.
    The feature staff like detail over the ride, mostly. You'd have to be extremely lucky to get a smooth feat.

    Well I showed you a itty bitty section of the track. And this won't be done for a long time. I'm not counting on luck

    Huh? Really? I thought it was featured before there were featured staff because the featured staff are "biased".

    Two words: More scenery. Smooth tracks are great, but they don't get easily featured, mostly because they lack original detailing most the time. What this track needs is a scenery background, and I am not talking about a "cityscape" background, do something that we haven't seen before, or at least aim for originality. What you have is great, but I can't see any grey lines, try to use them more!

    In my opinion you're on a good way to a great track, that many people will like.
    Pro-tip: try building up, not always to the side.
