UPDATE: So we are finally here once again. After months and months of being busy IRL, handling ghosting contests on forums and lots of other stuff, we are finally ready to publish the new update. This update has over 100 ghosts reviewed, but unfortunately we couldn't cover all of the ghosts suggested, otherwise we would never be able to finish this. We were focused on the suggestions from last year, since that would also help us make the ghosting awards later. We were able to review all of the suggestions up to January 13th of this year. Suggestions after that deadline will be pushed for the next update, that we hope to get out in not too long from now. I know it's annoying, but it is how it is. People are suggesting many ghosts every month, so we are keeping up as fast as we can. For this update we had 3 main players reviewing the ghosts (Anonyymi, Sidewalk and myself) and some players reviewing a few ghosts and helping with tie-breakers like Calculus, Cork and Eryp. So it took a while to finish everything and get things aligned, but I think we did it in some capacity. This time, the update will be split in 3 parts: - The first one will be for the ghosts that we decided to not feature, that are not really matching the criteria for being featured ghosts. - The second one will be for the ghosts that got close to being featured or that at least we think that have potential to be featured in the future with a few adjustments. It'll be the "Challenges" section. Usually the ghosts here are in tracks where we can see a potential feature, so usually beating the ghosts in this section with a clean ghost can make you get a feature in the future. - The third section will be for the new features, with a few "Unverified Features" that we'll mention when we get to that part. Without further ado, the first part: PART 1 - NO FEATURE: Cerasium (14): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/914905-blob-gen-track/r/cestoiolemsater - Quoting myself: "This was fun to watch against the other top ghosts, lol. But it's not a feature. Many slow spots, but props to him for somehow getting a deathless ghost here after all of those glitches" https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/909739-the-queen-is-dead/r/cestoiolemsater - Quoting Anonyymi: "He has the routing down but the execution is still lacking" https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/918527-slick/r/cestoiolemsater - Quoting Anonyymi: "Gave it a couple tries and got to a 1 sec lead halfway through the track. It's a fairly long track and he did well on the couple difficult parts, but there's just too much time to be cut to feature this. I'd say at the very least sub-46 for a feat." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/514582-logic-blues/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "No. Nice but not impressive/special enough for a feature." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/406499-nature-platforms/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: "This is a tough ghost to beat. I remember how annoying this track was in the ORG last year. But I don't think his lead is good enough or that the track is challenging enough for a feature. But it's a solid ghost for sure." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/575138-snowy-trail/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: "Sick ghost, but no. He was behind for a long time, the track isn't very long and is too much of smooth jumps based." and also Anonyymi "Would need a near-perfect ghost to consider, which this isn't quite." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/845464-org-week-26-bonus-round/r/cerasium/redorblue - Quoting Anonyymi: "I think the time is pretty close to unbeatable but the track is a bit too easy/simple." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/837562-scrap-metal/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "No. I beat it by .13." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/330575-diaspora/r/cerasium - Quoting Anonyymi: "No. Short and pretty basic. Could see this as a start to a 40 sec feat ghost." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/706448-ridin-at-the-local-trails/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: "Nah. Nothing special. No feature." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/765977-road-1/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: "LOL, not sure what Cerasium was thinking with this one. Too short." PS: Sorry Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/766247-road-3/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "No. Too short. Sick flow though." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/766676-road-4/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "No. Good but there’s not enough to it for a feature." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/768796-road-7/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "No. Not enough to it." Cerulean (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/6383-mountain-mania/r/cerulean - Quoting myself: "Cool ghost, nice cut, especially in a track with almost 1 million plays. I just don't think it's crazy enough for an exception. No feature for me, but it should get a shoutout.". Well, shoutout to you, Cerulean. It's really sick, but we just don't think it's crazy enough for an exception. CharlesCroaker (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/911182-risky-mission/r/charlescroaker - Quoting Anonyymi: "No.". Quoting Sidewalk: "No". Quoting myself: "Not 1st place". https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/54989-o0o-the-city-o0o/r/charlescroaker - The absolutely exactly same reviews as the one above. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/929023-spin-yourself/r/charlescroaker - Quoting myself: "Too short." Charnivore (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/7940-savan/r/charnivore - The same as the first 2 reviews for CharlesCroaker's ghosts. No featuere. Cork (2): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/55183-warehouse-6/r/cork - Cool ghost, but we don't think it's enough. Quoting Anonyymi: "It's a fairly easy 17 sec ghost. Needs to be nearly perfect for a feat imo, and this one isn't quite there yet.". Also, quoting myself: "I liked the start, but then I feel like there's some slow spots. I don't think it's enough for a feature." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/541601-hard/r/cork - Quoting Sidewalk: "Epic ghost, but it's too short." Egway (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/435363-im-leaving/r/egway - Well, this track again. We have 3 features on this track and probably rejected like 5 ghosts here as well. It's coming to the point that to get a feature on this track, it'll need to be groundbreaking. I don't think this ghost is far from my ghost here in terms of skill, but it's definitely far from all of the 4 features here in terms of originality and creativity. And if that's the case, it needs to be considerably better to compensate that, and that isn't the case here. With that said, this is a good ghost, and you do have some potential for trickghosting for sure, you even already have one trickghost feature. So I guess you should keep trying. But maybe picking a different track could help. FreeLander2 (5): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/718177-the-big-track/r/freelander2 - Quoting myself: "Great ghost, but I tested the track and came close to beat him a couple of times after a few tries. His ghost doesn't have many inputs, so I'm not confident that it isn't relatively easy to replicate. I think I'll go with a no. He deserves a shoutout, though.". This is a sick ghost, but we just didn't think it was quite there. I feel like some people could replicate this if it gets featured. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/110078-kinetic/r/freelander2 - Quoting myself: " Good ghost. His routing was phenomenal and hard to get it. But he just died too many times. No feature, but he deserves a shoutout.". This is some good stuff. It was a great job with the routing, but it has too many deaths. Still cool, though. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/53048-atomic-bmx/r/freelander2 - Quoting myself: "Epic routing, but I don't think it's crazy enough for an exception." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/53047-element-bmx/r/freelander2/xenom - Quoting Anonyymi: "If you take away all the air time the track becomes very short, too short." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/61214-cave/r/freelander2 - Quoting myself: "Only took me a few tries to replicate it. Yeah, ok, I didn't beat him, since he had a good ghost, but I honestly think that this is the kind of ghost that will be easily beaten if we feature. So I'll vote no. Good ghost, though." HyperCube (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/927794-salami/r/hypercube - Quoting myself: "Dope ghost, but it's too short." JustAGDFan (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/65697-my-first-auto/r/justagdfan - We all agreed it's too short. pro_rider1 (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921096-under/r/d3r3kk0 - Too short once again. RedOrBlue (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/845464-org-week-26-bonus-round/r/cerasium/redorblue - No feature, as mentioned in Cerasium's part. Sidewalk (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/727124-ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes/r/sidewalk - Quoting myself: "No feature. He only takes the lead like 2 seconds before the end, so it could be way better. Sick tube part, though." TheLazyCat (5): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/243044-asthenia-preview/r/thelazycat - Too short. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/913765-trail/r/thelazycat - Too short. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/914965-fever-to-spin/r/thelazycat - Quoting myself: "Really nice ghost. Couldn't beat him, but came really close with a few attempts. Since it's very borderline on the length I'll say no, since I think this can be beaten without that much difficulty by others. Deserves a shoutout, though." Good stuff, man. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/914991-20-sub-special/r/thelazycat - Not there. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922077-smooth-fast/r/thelazycat/wrzodx - Quoting myself: "Nice ghost, but the track is too smooth and too short." Totoca12 (7): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/861302-park/r/totoca12 - Quoting Anonyymi: "I think it's fairly close, cool variety of tricks in the middle ramp but it's not quite there yet". Also, quoting Sidewalk: "Beginning was quite good but it sort of fizzled out. If your front wheel was up more and your wheelies were more smooth, it would be yes" https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/714798-skatepark-contest-2/r/totoca12 - Quoting Anonyymi: "It's clean, but I don't think the tricks are that flashy or risky." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/907543-maze/r/alzakhion - Quoting Anonyymi: "Definitely enjoyable to watch, but it seems a bit too replicable" https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/907543-maze/r/lordcarl71 - Quoting Anonyymi: "This one's even nicer, but I guess it's still the same thing as above." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/913643-elevation-4000/r/totoca12 - Quoting Anonyymi: "I mean I don't think I could beat this in one try or anything like that. But since there's clear improvements to be made, I'll still go with a no." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/924907-3d-downhill/r/totoca12 - This one was tough to decide. Anoyymi said this in his review: "I like the flow and it's not just your regular brake flips and wheelies. We could ask a 4th opinion on this and if they're leaning towards a yes then we could discuss further maybe?". We did discuss it further. Calculus said yes, while Eryp and Sidewalk were more inclined to a no. So we decided to not feature it. But it was close https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/924907-3d-downhill/r/alzakhion - Quoting Anonyymi: "I liked the first one a bit more, so I'll say no to this one." TPlacella (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/324702-frhd-wall-of-fame-2016/r/tplacella - Quoting Anonyymi: "A smooth jump feat ghost should probably either be very long, have something interesting like slomo skips of 2012 or some insane cuts withs wheelies and such like in some of Radium's suggestions. While this is fairly long, it's not long enough and it's just a standard smooth jump track. also after a couple attempts i ended up being ahead of him for 30 seconds before failing a jump." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/224694-kalahari-park/r/tplacella - Quoting myself: "Dope ghost. But a few attempts in, I managed to lead until close to the final heli part where you are falling. So I'm pretty sure it's improvable. Deserves a shoutout, though.". It's a really sick ghost, especially for a non-spacebarred ghost. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/61490-n-resort/r/tplacella - Really dope ghost, but there's no competition with the vehicle glitch to see how this would hold up against other ghosts from top ghosters. Not sure if we want to encourage that much this kind of competition to be honest, so I guess that since it isn't there yet, we will just leave this as a no. WrzodX (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922077-smooth-fast/r/thelazycat/wrzodx - No feature, as mentioned before in TheLazyCat's part. Xenom (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/917769-daddy/r/xenom - Quoting Sidewalk: "Nah. Your wheelies need to be longer and smoother." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/53047-element-bmx/r/freelander2/xenom - No feature, as mentioned before in FreeLander2's part. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/62778-getz-to-da-chopper/r/shortkid - Quoting myself: "Sick ghost, but I'll vote for a no. I mean, the flips were clean and the speed in the last part was interesting, but there's some weird parts, like the beginning. Some things didn't fully work out, but I feel like with some cleaning it could be a potential feature.". Also, quoting Sidewalk: "No for me. But this is quite close. A couple of the wheelies were just not smooth enough for me. If they were smoother (i.e. more like the one on the backward uphill), I’d say yes.".
PART 2 - CHALLENGES: Anonyymi (2): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921919-frwc6-group-stage-match-3/r/anonyymi - Eryp and Sidewalk wanted a feature here, but I explained why I didn't think it was a feature and we eventually agreed on a challenge. Quoting myself: "I think we need a challenge here. We had 2 yeses (Eryp and Sidewalk) and 1 no (Totoca12). Anonyymi said he understand a feature due to the competition, but he doesn't think this ghost is special, so he's fine with a no. I still think this is a good ghost and under normal conditions it would be a feature for me. Also, I know it's weird to request for a challenge in a contest track, but most people are missing a point here. There's a relatively big cut on this track that was achieved by adversitas during the Free Rider World Cup 6 (https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921919-frwc6-group-stage-match-3/r/adversitas). It was enough to beat WrzodX at the time, but the rest of his ghost wasn't really good so the ghost didn't stand out in the leaderboard. However, after hitting the first gravity, the ghost adversitas made is over 1.1 second faster than Anonyymi's, so a sub-20 ghost is 100% possible here. With that said, I can't really vote for a feature here and I want some more people to try his cut, so for now it's a no for a feature, but it should be a challenge.". Let's make a challenge here https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2493-city-run/r/cerasium/anonyymi - Quoting Sidewalk: "Challenge. It needs a little bit more optimization at the end for me, which anonyymi showed in his tying ghost.". BeIuwuga (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/884293-i-fixed-trialgen/r/beiuwuga - Quoting myself: "Cool ghost, but some improvements are possible. Maybe a deathless ghost here with some additional optimizations could have a shot, so I guess we could put this as a challenge.". Cerasium (13): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2493-city-run/r/cerasium/anonyymi - Same as what was said for Anonyymis's ghost here. Challenge. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/924462-frwc6-lc-finals/r/cerasium - Quoting Anonyymi: "It's that one cut at the start that makes the difference, but yeah I think that since Setsu is ahead for most of the track and the cut is pretty easy this could be improved by Cerasium himself. A challenge sounds good.". https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/679400-spruce-says/r/cerasium/redorblue - Quoting Anonyymi: "I would've featured this if they didn't take such different routes to showcase that both of them could improve their ghosts haha. Both ghosts are very good but they must be able to improve just by taking the correct route. Challenge I guess?" https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/460534-long-journey/r/cerasium - This one was close. Sidewalk said yes, Anonyymi and I went with maybes and Cork stepped up and said that a challenge here could work. We just think that there's some possible optimizations in the ghost. Challenge it is. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/708650-brush-rocks-spiritual-sequel/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: " No feature. Still trying to figure out how Sidewalk managed to lose to Cerasium here in the EOST last year. For how painful the ride was, Cerasium's ghost should be enough for a feature, but given the lead Sidewalk had here, I just can't do it.". Also, quoting Sidewalk: "Challenge. My ghost made it clear that his start could’ve been a lot faster. Good performance for an important competition track, but not good enough for a feature.". We all ended up agreeing on a challenge. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/468338-lambda/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: "I'm not fully convinced yet. Didn't have any problems on being ahead of the ghost for the first 10-15 seconds, so I'm pretty sure a ghoster better than me might be able to beat this. It's still a great ghost because it had some solid consistency for a whole minute, so I'll say that it's maybe. But I'm more inclined to a challenge here." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/929039-neptunes-keep/r/cerasium - We had 2 votes for a challenge and 1 no here. We just wanted to see a little more competition here, since we don't think the ghost is there yet. But it has potential. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/783815-mawr-pathway-4/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Challenge. One mistake in there just kind ruins it for me in terms of a feature. Slight improvement should do it." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/766210-road-2/r/cerasium - Quoting myself: "Really good, but the competition isn't that strong, so I would rather put this as a challenge rather a feature." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/766775-road-5/r/cerasium - We ended up having people saying no to this and people saying yes to this, so we agreed to make a challenge to see if it's can be improved a little. I personally think that is already a strong contender, though. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/655610-lets-race/r/cerasium - We have vote for a feature here, but overall a challenge felt more comfortable here. Maybe we could talk more with sub-30 ghosts. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/684070-lets-race-4/r/cerasium - Everyone agreed on a challenge here, since we think that there's some parts that could be improved for sure. Quoting myself: "Didn't really like it that much. Some spots to improve for sure, especially the beginning. Maybe a challenge." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/691795-lets-race-5/r/cerasium - We had people voting for feature here and people voting for a challenge here, since it does have some minor mistakes. I guess it's pretty close to a feature, though. Let's see if it can be improved. I feel like those last few ghosts reflect some things about Cerasium's suggestions. There's too many of them and not all of them have great recent competition, so in some cases I feel like it's fair to see if people can improve more (because it looks like it's possible) before actually featuring some of these ghosts. Cerulean (2): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/606909-lost/r/cerulean - We had very different reviews for this ghost, but I feel like I'll quote Anonyymi's one, that was a big reason why we didn't feature this. Quoting Anonyymi: "I think my ghost demonstrates pretty well that his ghost is still beatable. Needs to be deathless at least." https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/5147-zmpri-rocky-track/r/cerulean - We had one yes vote for this, but we didn't really agreed on this feature as we can see in my review that I'll quote: "Hard no. If you see my ghost against his (https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/5147-zmpri-rocky-track/r/cerulean/totoca12), even with a bad ghost, I only didn't beat (or at least tied with) him because I couldn't accelerate properly in a straight line at the end, haha. Not good enough. Maybe a challenge, but I don't mind a straight up no.". It might be a bit harsh, but if I could nearly tie with his ghost with a few bad attempts, I'm sure other people could do better. But the track has potential and some parts of his ghost are good, so let's make it a challenge. CHARREDLIZARD21 (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/915877-blob-maze-1/r/typicaleshay - We ended up only getting 2 votes for this one and it was, tough. It was one yes and one challenge. The thing is that we think it's quite good, but we are not really blob experts, so we just wanted some more competition here to confirm the feature. One thing that we know is that most blob experts are not in the leaderboard, so we wanted to see if it's easy to beat CHARREDLIZARD21 here or not. If it remains unbeaten, I guess we probably can feature this, but it would be cool to see at least a couple of other great blob experts attempt this. FreeLander2 (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/66058-auto-the-1st/r/freelander2 - We couldn't really agree on a feature here and neither on if it shoudln't be a feature. We also couldn't quite beat him with the attempts we made, so we would like to put it as a challenge to see if this is easy to replicate or not. Based on this result we can reconsider featuring this or not doing it. RadiumRC (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922265-frwc6-round-of-16/r/radiumrc - Tough one. We ended up getting 2 maybes, 1 yes and 1 challenge. Quoting myself: "Some small mistakes, so I'm not sure. It's a great ghost with dope competition, though. Maybe.". Quoting Anonyymi: "Idk, it bothers me that he got behind right at the start. There's a couple other mistakes as well. Maybe no.". Quoting Sidewalk, that was more positive about the ghost: "Yep. Risks (wall bounces) put it over the line for me. Intense competition, fast throughout. Sure his start wasn’t the best but he quickly got ahead.". So overall we decided for a challenge. RedOrBlue (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/679400-spruce-says/r/cerasium/redorblue - Challenge, as mentioned in Cerasium's part. Rippedmagnet (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/822204-heli-treasure-trove/r/rippedmagnet - We decided for a challenge here. To quote myself: "Sick ghost. Rippedmagnet showed a lot of skill in the beginning and finished with a great time overall and no relevant mistakes, so it has potential. I think I'll say maybe, though. It could also be a potential challenge. I feel like he did great, but I'm still not quite sure if that was the fastest possible route of not. Maybe it could be cool to see more people trying this to see if his time will hold up at the top." Setsu (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930152-cerizzium/r/setsu - This was a curious one. There was a vote for a feature here, but it wasn't unanimous, since it's way below the minimum length, so we were not sure if this was worthy one of the biggest exceptions ever or not. We'll put this is as a challenge to see if people can beat this. If no one beats him after a while (if it becomes clear people tried) we can consider featuring this. For now, no feature. To quote myself: "For the skill itself, it's good enough. But it's not long enough. We should be sure that no one can beat this to even consider an exception. So maybe a challenge for now. But I think this will end up being a no.". Let's see if I'm wrong. Epic ghost, regardless. Stevie.T (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/906255-start-somewhere/r/stevie.t - Quoting Anonyymi: "The speed is irrelevant here, the track is hard af. But I imagine it could be done with fewer deaths. I'm fine with a challenge.". Quoting myself: "Really sick ghost. I'll say a maybe more inclined to a no since it might have too many deaths, but I feel like a slightly improved version of this could be enough for a feature. So this could be some sort of challenge.". Xenom (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930016-short-cave-trial/r/xenom - The team agreed that it's almost there. I'm almost sure that a flawless run here is a feature. The track can be quite annoying. Just a few improvements needed in the ghost.
PART 3 - NEW FEATURES: Anonyymi (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1014-star-wars/r/anonyymi - Everyone who made a review for this agreed that it should be a feature. It was about time to have a feature on this track. Quoting myself: "Amazing ghost. I feel like it's finally a good enough ghost to be featured here.". Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. I think there were two spots where the perfect flow would’ve been slightly different, and also it could’ve been more lucky at the end but that’s irrelevant to skill. Those two spots were negligible (and I think there may have been at least one compromise for style). Overall, there was plenty of classic anonyymi flow wonderfully executed and definitely feature-worthy. Most of the ghost was essentially perfect." - 28th feature for Anonyymi. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/429117-avant-garden/r/anonyymi - This was originally a suggested for Cerasium, but during this period of reviewing, Anonyymi beat it and we thought it's good enough for a feature. - 29th feature for Anonyymi. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/915431-strap-in/r/anonyymi - This was another weird case here. The suggestion was originally by Cerasium, but then Sidewalk beat it (around the time I added it in the list of suggestions). I voted for a feature for Sidewalk's ghost and then Anonyymi beat it, so it was a feature for me. We usually don't review our own ghosts so since we reviewed it in different times, Anonyymi and Sidewalk hadn't reviewed it initally. But eventually we got additional reviews for this like this one from Cork: "Anon always brings me to tears, gorgeous ghost. Fumbled the last climb but the first 50 seconds make up for it imo". We decided to feature his ghost. Good stuff from Anonyymi. - 30th feature for Anonyymi. PS: He just lost 1 feature for Cerasium, though. So now he has 29 features. Cerasium (13): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/904617-bobifers-bicycle-ride/r/cestoiolemsater - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Elite flow was often present in the ghost. Enjoyable to watch." - 94th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/718474-microeconomics-by-vapaa/r/cestoiolemsater - Pretty good ghost, got some good quotes from the team: "Very cool routing and decent execution, no major mistakes." - Anonyymi "Yes. Excellent routing and skill. Great ghost." - Sidewalk "Legendary routing and near perfect execution. Totally a feature for me." 95th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/920555-frwc6-group-stage-match-1/r/cestoiolemsater - Another great ghost that got made good impressions on the team: "Yes. Good competition, fairly long track with enough technical parts, probably unbeatable and looks very clean cool and fast. Feat for sure I think." - Anonyymi "Yes, you impressed me here, on top of having that level of competition. Fire ghost." - Sidewalk "I love this ghost. A little missed opportunity to a last time save in the end, but other than that he optimized this track to the fullest. Competition was crazy, so I'll vote for a feature." - Totoca12 96th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/924153-the-wet-light-lc-semifinals/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Absolutely. No question. Clear feature, impressed me once again.". Quoting myself: "That's a no brainer. So clean, impressive stuff. Feature." - 97th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925079-frwc6-3rd-place-match/r/cerasium - Quoting Anonyymi: "Yes. Gave it a go and couldn't quite beat him. I think it's good enough for an endurance ghost.". Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes, clear feature. Slight hiccups but I don’t really care because they were slight and the track is relatively long and challenging. Legendary. Impressive endurance." - 98th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925959-duality-frwc6-finals/r/cerasium - Another one that also got some great comments from the whole team: "I love it! We will never know if Radium could've beat him, but this definitely deserves a feat." - Anonyymi "Yes, brilliant skill, routing, and endurance. Very very good." - Sidewalk "He nailed it. Feature!" - Totoca12 99th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/507142-maze/r/cerasium - Pretty solid one as well. Here are some comments: "Yes. Yeah I think it's definitely challenging enough and he did well." - Anonyymi "Yes from me. Enough risks taken. Good control, fun to watch." - Sidewalk "This was pretty solid and the track can be kinda challenging. I'll vote for a feature." - Totoca12 100th feature for Cerasium. TIED WITH HIS OWN RECORD! https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/788312-choatic/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Great style, flow, and recovery." - 101st feature for Cerasium. NEW RECORD SET FOR THE MOST FEATURES HELD AT THE SAME TIME! CONGRATS CERASIUM! https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/204900-pbs-o-c-4/r/cerasium - All of the other ghosts on this series seem to be featured, so since this is a pretty decent ghost with cool competition, we see no reason to not feature it. -102nd feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/675207-mucho-higante-rc8r1/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "I’ll give it a yes. Cool braking technique on the walls. Pretty good length." - 103rd feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/355642-pathway-3/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yup. Classic skill." - 104th feature for Cerasium. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/462701-ataraxy/r/cerasium - We agreed to feature this one in the Other category, since the helicopter glitch was used. Cool ghost. - PS: It was already featured, we just changed its category. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/584030-yopidartok/r/cerasium - We thought it was a sick one, so we are featuring it. - 105th feature for Cerasium. PS: Also Cerasium just stole this one from Anonyymi: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/678574-shambles-fixed/r/cerasium - 106th feature for Cerasium. Cerulean (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921809-scribbles-torture-desc/r/cerulean - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Great speed and skill." - 16th feature for Cerulean. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/928157-insanity-6/r/cerulean - This one was great and warranted some great comments from the team: "Yes. Cerulean says it's kinda slow, but idc it's deathless, a feat for sure. Love the control he has." - Anonyymi "Yes. So good that it’s got me raising an eyebrow about legitimacy lol" - Sidewalk "Epic ghost! These slow paced flawless tube ghosts make me believe this stuff more, haha. Easy feature." - Totoca12 17th feature for Cerulean. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/454829-finale-desc/r/cerulean - The original suggestion was about Cork's ghost, that we weren't fully sure about. We agreed that this one was probably good enough for a feature. - 18th feature for Cerulean. Cork (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/4556-crystal-caves-uce/r/cork - Quoting myself: "This is actually the fastest time ever considering both versions of this track on FRHD. I feel like we got close to have featured ghosts on this track for so long, so I guess that this could be it.". Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes from me again. Borderline challenge for me, but I don't think the track could be done that much better. Great job." - 2nd feature for Cork. RadiumRC (4): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/51784-cruisin/r/shamatoz/radiumrc - This was one we weren't quite sure about it for a bit. It's smooth jumps and a bit short, but we eventually agreed on a feature here. Quoting Sidewalk: "Oh yeah. I’m good with a dual feature here. Superb work from both ghosters. Incredible to get .2 under 17, .53 below 3rd on a campaign track.". Quoting myself: "Honestly, both ghosts are epic! They have over half of a second lead over the third place, which absolutely insane considering this is a campaign track is over 3.4 million plays. It's kind of smooth jumps based, but it's over 15 seconds and really hard to beat, so I think I'll vote for a feature." - 83rd feature for RadiumRC. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921000-faule-frwc6/r/radiumrc - Great one. Quoting Sidewalk: "Absolutely filthy. Yes from me.". - 84th feature for RadiumRC https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922979-elemenopee-frwc-6-ntbf/r/radiumrc - This one got a few good reactions from the team: "Yes. Cerasium did a great job keeping up with Radium's ghost, even getting quite a bit ahead before his death. Radium died once as well, but I think the endurance is too crazy on this one not to feat it." - Anonyymi "Absolutely. Insanely good. The death is not enough to make it unworthy." - Sidewalk "Small mistake, but the ghost is pretty solid. I'll vote for a feature." - Totoca12 85th feature for RadiumRC. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/923665-dubious-frwc6/r/radiumrc - Another one with some great comments in the reviews: "Yes. Love it." - Anonyymi "Yep. Perfection, art, flow, style. 100% feature for me." - Sidewalk "This ghost is insane, easy feature." - Totoca12 Rippedmagnet (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/929287-affection-numbs-the-pain/r/rippedmagnet - Quoting Sidewalk: "Obviously.". Quoting myself: "This is sick. What an epic cut! I think the only question for me is if this is good enough for an exception. I'll say yes here, since it's very cool [...]". - 3rd feature for Rippedmagnet. ShamatoZ (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/51784-cruisin/r/shamatoz/radiumrc - Feature, as mentioned in RadiumRC's review. - 26th feature for ShamatoZ. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/919593-flatanger-frwc-qualifiers/r/shamatoz - Quoting myself: "Insane route, insane cut. Pretty solid BMX ghost with great competition. Easy feature for me". Quoting Sidewalk: "100% feature. Amazing bmx work." - 27th feature for Shamatoz. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/928168-mtb-heaven/r/shamatoz - This one was nuts! It got some great reactions from the team: "Yes. Insane." - Anonyymi "100% feature. Insanity." - Sidewalk "One of the best ghosts of the year, pretty clear feature." - Totoca12 28th feature for ShamatoZ, which marks ShamatoZ's all-time high in terms of number of features. Silent-Rider (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930734-cherry-blossom-100/r/silent-rider - This is a bit weird since we don't really review suggestions from unverified ghosters. But we were inclined to consider featuring Xenom's ghost and during that time Silent-Rider beat it. So we think it should be added to the Unverified Features section. Symantec (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/774645-savitar-fixed/r/symantec -We got an yes from everyone in the team, but for now we'll add this to the Unverified Features section. I'll talk more about it at the end of the post. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/787191-blueberries/r/symantec - Same as above. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/927503-rain-kids/r/symantec - This one took a lot of discussion and we ended up having 5 players reviewing this. Here's some reviews: "It's so difficult not to say yes to this. This ghost is sick very entertaining to watch from start to finish. Too bad that one mistake made him lose quite a bit of time. Still, inclined very much towards a yes." - Anonyymi "Yes — there's certainly room for improvement; however, considering the length of the track, as well as the shortcuts used in the ghost, it wouldn't be a bad idea to feature it. It would make a good feature. It'd fit well on the board and give others a chance to steal it as well if they can. It's a nice track for a feat." - Calculus "If legit, yes. Fun to watch, and duration makes up for the death. Great skill, style/tricks, technique, and endurance throughout the ghost." - Sidewalk However, this will also be marked as an Unverified Feature for now. Uniior (1): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922604-heli-championship/r/uniior - Quoting myself: "Pretty solid ghost that beat a decent suggestion from TPlacella. I could see this as a feature, honestly.". We agreed on a feature. - 9th feature for Uniior Xenom (3): https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930058-blocky/r/xenom - Quoting myself: "Sick ghost. Kind of borderline because of the length, but I'll vote for a feature." - 6th feature for Xenom. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930650-hold-left-cave/r/xenom - Quoting myself: "I like it. Technically this is an auto cut, so it could work, I think I'll vote for a feature. The ghost flows well.". I feel like for a fast ghost, it probably wouldn't work because of the length, but as an auto cut it fits the criteria and since it's a dope ghost we are featuring it. - 7th feature for Xenom. https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925440-3d-downhill-2/r/xenom - I think this ghost might have been a part of one of the longest discussions about featuring a ghost on this game, lol. We ended up having 5 reviews for this ghost and also some extra comments about it, but we couldn't really agree on the final decision. The main thing is that this ghost was reviewed earlier than some others in this update and it received 2 yeses right away. We decided to let some others into the update to help us with the reviews, but it made things weird for this specific ghost, since we then started to not really being on the same page about it. After many interesting discussions we had 3 out the 5 reviewers feeling strong about featuring this and the other 2 eventually said that they were fine with it being feature. So we decided to feature it. We had some similar suggestions to compare to, which made things harder, but we eventually thought this stood out the most, out of some other trickghost suggestions. After many attempts update after update, Xenom finally gets his featured trickghost! Great stuff, man! - 8th feature for Xenom, which is his new personal best. Congrats! Some comments about the ghost: "Yes! I think this is it. After many nos for his trickghosts, I think this is the one. He took many risks and had a great flow throughout the track. It reminds me of my trickghost feature, but it's a bit longer and a bit cleaner. Feature for me." - Totoca12 "Yeah there are a couple exciting risky parts, but I agree with the flow part, that definitely makes the ghost. Very nice flow from start to finish." - Anonyymi Additional Comments: About Silent-Rider: Well, he'll get his 8th unverified feature, so just a reminder: if you beat one of his unverifed features you'll get a feature, unless something exceptional happens, like a broken ghost or a massive cut is discovered and we have to reevaluate things. About Symantec: He got 3 new features, but for now they'll be added to the Unverified Features section. His ban on the thread is already over, so he can submit to try to be elegible for being in the list again. All he needs to do is send some solid video proof of him ghosting those tracks where he got the features in a way that becomes clear that he can pull those off. Also, the video should show simultaneously his screen and his hands/keyboard. So we are waiting on that. About Cerasium: He just established 4 new ghosting records: Most Featured Ghosts Held: 106 Most Featured Fast Ghosts Held: 100 First to reach 90 featured fast ghosts First to reach 100 featured fast ghosts CONGRATS MAN! PS: Not updating anything today. But I'll do it whenever I have the time. Maybe tomorrow. As for the new suggestions, they will be reviewed in the next update. I hope it doesn't take too long, but I think that at least the January 2023 Ghosting Awards and the 2022 Yearly Ghosting Awards should probably come out sooner.
Dude absolute MAD props to Totoca12 and the rest of the team. All of the features since October, the WC, and the ghosting and community awards, all balanced on top of managing his own life??? This guy is fu.cking insane, and the fact that he isn't even paid for this tops it all off. This guy is keeping this game fun for me, and I really hope he's able to keep this going. Thank you SO MUCH for all of this. (also thanks for featuring 3 of my ghosts, not expecting it lol)
Xenom couldn't have said that better, amazing work t12 and the team! Congrats to the people with the new features and Cerasium for being Cerasium! And also yay I got: - Got 1 shoutout from 3 suggestions - I made Charred get a challenge on my own track - Suggested a challenge for Ripped - Suggested a feature for Ripped - Made Uniior get a feature from my own suggestion The only thing I didn't get was a challenge and a feature, maybe next time
Awesome! My ghost that I suggested got a challenge, but on top of that, Rippedmagnet beat the ghost. It broke, unfortunately, but only with about 10 seconds left. Up until that point, there was one death, and there was a quick recovery. If the ghost hadn’t broken, it would totally be featurable. Kudos to Ripped
