1 Pinn/Joel: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/374537-conflagration (10)

Max007x: Absolutely brilliant, what else can I say. It takes a great track maker to change a cave track to a city with all it’s straight lines and it takes an absolute genius to make it in three dimensions. For me this is the undisputed number one and also a track to remember for years to come. The detail is just outstanding. I know how hard it is to detail buildings and I always thought the only way to make them nicely detailed was to make really interesting buildings with lots of weird brick sections and whatever but you did it so well with basic city houses. That texturing is pure magic. Even the ride is awesome. The way you get shot into the air and especially that part around the houses in the middle is just so sweet. I could write an essay on this track but I guess saying that it’s flawless covers it. We’re not worthy joel, we’re not worthy.

CC: I don’t know man

Eli: tbh Joel this is just some classy work, the depiction of this city almost feels living and breathing and the flamed house although subtle is very convincing and adds a lot to the track and it's all wrapped up with an escape back to the forest. I really can't fault much of it as it's clearly one of the best city tracks in years.

CC: My only issue is fix the ramps a little, other than that it's basically perfect.

Wave: the track is just epic, the 3d work is mastered, the ride is very fun, including de heli ride (which even gives a shortcut option for ambitious racers) but the best where the trees, original and yet so clean. Keep it up

2 MayhemMercenary: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373486 (9.6)

Max007x: You’re really getting there! I have to be honest, I hadn’t really seen much of your tracks before but this track is certainly great. I completely love that small ramp you can ride on if your heli runs out of fuel and the creatures are awesome. Your detail is really close to being outstanding but for me it still lacks a little bit to make it truly special. Still a very, very good track

CC: For a remix track I think you could’ve changed up the ride a little bit more. The track also feels kinda random at places. The creatures are really cool but they don’t truly feel like a part of the track and more like art showcases. Try to integrate them more into the track. It feels a bit too much filled up in some places. Try to get a bit more of a contrast going on between highly detailed parts and less detailed parts. Now you’re just filling all the blank space with scarce lines. Don’t be afraid to have some blank parts if you contrast them with heavy detail parts. Take a look at maple’s tracks to see how it’s done

Eli: Hey you've definitely started to improve from what I've seen beforehand by you and I say you've really nailed it with this track. The best part about this track and it's actually relatively creative, it's definitely not perfect but you've definitely improved a lot.

CC: Your detail needs to not be so double or triple lined, it's very rough in areas where it could be plain and neat and you also need to join your lines more. Other than that keep the creativity up.

Wave: this track impressed me coming from you, the detail is very cool, love the bull near the heli most of all, but you maybe should have tried to integrate the mantis more into your track, not just a random floating mantis in the middle of no where.... anyways epic detail and maybe just a little bit more work on the ride and cave detail

3 mR..A: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373618-magnus (9.5)

Max007x: Man this track is good. I love how your 3d detail has advanced through the years, coming from basic shapes and cliffs to fully realised landscapes like right here. The track looks beautiful and would’ve been a winner for me if it wasn’t for Joel releasing pretty much track of the year. The ride is solid throughout as well. The castle is an obvious standout and a gorgeous centrepiece.

CC: I thought the ride was a bit too stretched out to make it really interesting. It also doesn’t remind me too much of the original by Ness. The heli section wasn’t too interesting in my opinion either and could’ve used an extra checkpoint. Right now it can get frustrating.

Eli: You've improved so much in the last year and it's clear to show your experience, this kind of track great to look out at a far and is like travelling a small fragment of a world. Very clean art work and I know you've put your full mind to this track with the time you had.

CC: Other than a couple joining sections and the one off platform at the end, nothing too much I can comment on.

Wave: the caste is sick!! The 3d work is well done on the castle, yet a little less on the Islands. You should have raised the horizon line or made the islands closer (vertically talking) cause it doesnt look right... but on the other hand the ride was really fun.

4 THEend: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/374740-cilant-l-s (9.5)

Max007x: This track is really good man. The tree section to the left is beautiful and I really like how you remixed the track by just adding a branch that cuts off the entrance to the cave. Where you spent a lot of time detailing it can be seen and it looks really nice. The ride is also good.

CC: Well I think you might agree with this but I think that if you had been able to spent more time on this it just would’ve been better. Easy as that. The detail is just not consistent. I think you can see for yourself what could’ve been done to make this track even better so I’ll leave that to you. The ride is also less interesting at places, like on top of the cave section.

Eli: I love your creative style of track making, tbh it's definitely more creative detailing styles than other although this track wasn't your most creative, it still had a lot of elements within it that were still fun and creative.

CC: The background on the right hand side really didn't seem your strongest aspect, it wasn't the same quality imo as the rest of it and the bottom half was definitely more boring than the rest. The other thing is don't procrastinate too much, it hinders the final piece.

Wave: I really enjoyed the ride, you have an awesome and unice detail that i appreciate very much. It's clean, thumbs up for that, and i really liked those trees

5 zwinxz: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373500-ease (9.3)

Max007x: This one is very close to feature worthy in my opinion. The centrepiece of the track is outstanding. Zoomed out the track looks really cool and it’s mostly your sweet detailing that makes the track.

CC: I don’t like how some parts you can ride through and other you can’t. Bumping into a cloud with the heli just feels weird when you can go through other clouds. It just doesn’t look right. Same goes with parts of the building. It also feels a little small compared to the top four.

Eli: Definitely a cool little centrepiece that is ridden around of, it's all very cool how you ride around the outside and it all meshes around your detail very well, I would really appreciate it though if it had more around the main part of the track and I would have featured it if it was like that tbh.

CC: I would appreciate the extras to the track rather than the bare minimal where the track is ridden on, it kind of takes it away from the track, the other thing is the really rough lines on the centre piece.

Wave: one of the most original ideas, great detail. .. maybe could have been a little cleaner (the house). And a very fun ride. Keep it up

6 TeamPhantom: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/370647-forlorn-planet (9.0)

Max007x: What a theme! This is so cool man respect. I love how large in scale this is and that flying octopus is just sweet.

CC: The positives of this track are also the negatives. The octopus is really cool but it also makes for a clunky ride and it feels really weird to sometimes go through the tentacles. The scale of this track is also a downside because sometimes there are parts when there is nothing on your screen but a rock. The detail on the planet is also really stretched. For the next round, get a little less ambitious and have everything closer together. Get a theme that looks great and works well in frhd. Still a really cool track.

Eli: Now that theme is ******* outstanding, really something is that blows your mind on how creative it is, at least the first part, The second part which is beautifully detailed but isn't as creative to me (max?), anyway the track is something I enjoyed and I'm glad you took part.

CC: As creative as you are, your skill with the art is something you need to take time on, you need to be simplistic with it and not go too far on the detail to get the best effect on it, although those suction cups were mint. Serious props.

Wave: great track man!! I really enjoyed playing it, the fact that it was very big didnt bother me, it's really the fact that some parts dont have detail, just a meteorite... you probably could have made a space background

7 Charlezard: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373496-rc5r1 (8.8)

Max007x: Why didn’t you finish? Why??? This track is really good man. I truly enjoyed playing it and it looks really cool. I love those bird rocks. The heli section is also really cool but a little hard in that tight cave.

CC: Should’ve finished it! It could’ve been much higher. Also like I said above, heli section is kinda hard especially around the part where the gravity switches again.

Eli: Now this is something that had way more potential than what it had, although I don't think your theme was that creative, reminds me of wheeliemakers too much but the execution you've done wasn't too bad, I just hope you have the motivation to finish next rounds

CC: Finish, be more creative and yourself. Keep up the good level of work though

Wave: WHY?? Didnt you finish it!? The ride is a little though but intentionally, and the little part that is detailed is amazing!! (Those birds fade in perfectly with the rocks, loved it)

8 Ishu: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/365651-fishies (8.6)

Max007x: Though really unfinished this track still hits some high highs. The art piece in the middle is so ******* sweet and shows how amazing of a drawer you are. There are no flaws to be seen in this track if you just look at it. The ride is really good for the parts that I played (didn’t beat it sadly) and it is just really cool as an art piece.

CC: Know what you can do! You are really ambitious but you don’t have time for that. I believe you could get a top five entry if you just managed your time right!

Eli: Ah man if only you put as much effort into the track as you did to the art, never over shoot your mark because you definitely did.

CC: just don't bite off more than you can chew.

Great track, amazing fishies though you should have made more. Im looking forward to your next round's entry, Just dedicate more time to it.

9 Polygon: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373219-the-perfect-spot 8.5 (+1) (9.5)

Max007x: Congratulations, you made pretty much my favorite heli section since the first weeks that the heli came out. Guess what, you’re winning my challenge! Congratulations. The track looks good but I think the grey caves don’t really pay off when you look at the time they take.

CC: The theme could be more interesting. It’s just a bit bland right now. Your detail is good but it’s just grass and rocks. Get some interesting things in there!

Eli: Ah, nin10 you never change, definitely a track by you, so fun and creative track to play around on and the heli section is brilliant to say the least.

CC: please try something new with your detail and try something different in terms of detail, I know you have before!

Wave: Cool track, simple ground detail yet awesome caves with a very sweet guided helicopter ride !! Keep working on the detail.

10 gr611: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/365215-remix-contest-5-round-1/uploaded (8.0)

Max007x: This one certainly is a great remix. The track is cool and the idea of keeping the track mostly the same but having a different entry point is something to love.

CC: There are a few small parts I didn’t like that much like the vortex or the text but overall there is very little to complain about. Maybe for the next round try a more inventive theme. Because your track is kinda basic it doesn’t have many flaws but it also doesn’t take many risks.

Eli: Never seen your name before and tbh I'm impressed with this track, definitely not too shabby at all, nothing here that breaks boundaries but it's definitely complete to a certain level of satisfaction and remains to be creative too.

CC: Work on adding pizazz, I don't think your detail had any major issue to it so I can't complain.

Wave: nice and clean track, lacks a little of detail, but cool anyways.

11 JRayge11: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373492-sepulchral/uploaded (7.9)

Max007x: Those drawings are great. I love the humour in this track as well. I especially like the grim reaper to the left.

CC: Add detail! Right now you only have art pieces and no detail. Make your world come alive!

Eli: I like that you went with a different theme but it didn't work entirely and some of it felt kinda forced. best part to me was the moon, that actually looked killer.

CC: fill the art in better, don't fill in clouds and work on incorporating the theme around the track more.

Wave: Honestly the drawing are sick man! They got you most of the points, but you really need to make them part of the track, not just background décoration. Keep it up!

12 FOIL: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/374160-renix-round-1-hope-fix/uploaded (7.9)

Max007x: This track really has nothing to complain about but that’s also what the negatives are.

CC: It’s really kinda bland. It’s so big in scale but nothing stands out. Have stuff closer together!

Eli: Tbh foil this entry is relatively plain but it's something that I think works, although I think you need to work on something that adds to the track, it'd do you some good.

CC: Pizazz

Wave: Nice trail, i liked most of the track, apart from the thin planks on the left, i think if you would have made them larger or more randomly placed or even attached to the rock with scenery planks... the ride was awesome though, well remixed

13 Nitrogeneric: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373286-annihilation/uploaded (7.9)

Max007x: I think this is more like an extended version instead of a remix. The track is fine it just doesn’t really do much for me as it’s the original track with a trial sticked to it. The minor changes are cool and I like the simplistic background.

CC: Focus more on remixing instead of adding to the track!

Eli: You could have done really well with this if you completed the track, most of the detail there was pretty good! Although I must say the background really seemed weird and out of place, you could have laid that out a lil better.

CC: Finish the track, place the background better.

Wave: Good entry, although you mention its incomplete, it can look like a complete one. Challenging ride but very sympathic and clean track. The ride is well remixed.

14 E12 https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/365227-underwater-cavern (7.8)

max007x: This track is just cool. I like your imagination and how fun it looks. The track also is nice to play.

CC: Detail could be improved but that’ll come with time. Just stay as creative as on this track and you’ll become a great trackmaker.

Eli: Nice theme, fun track, alright detail. Weirdly childish art.

CC: Improve the art, try more detail.

Wave: Funny track, you have a wild imagination and this track introduction us to it. Try to deepen your detail, although its' nice, it's a little simplistic.

15 Kev1n: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/371926-rc5r1/uploaded (7.5)

Max007x: Would’ve been a cool track I can tell. No flaws in the detail and you remixed it decently.

CC: It’s unfinished. I can’t really judge it right now because of that.

Eli: Jesus dude nice one trying on the detail that for a beginner isn't bad, it's a bold move that isn't that bad but my head can't process that aaaaa.

CC: Don't merge it so much and don't make it so thick, trust me I learnt that mistake, try nice smaller strokes and not so much

Wave: I adored the way you detailed the cave, more than all the other judges. Though you really really should have finished it !! Keep it up

16 Spruce: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373986-submerged/uploaded (7.2)

Max007x: Dare I say, unfinished? Could’ve been a cool track but it looks kinda plain right now.

CC: Maybe finish it?

Eli: Tut Tut Tut, please try and finish this man or at least next round, potential wasted.

CC: Finish your tracks!!!!

Wave: Its an awesome start, Its very clean, though it's way too short. Find time for the second round and make an epic track.

17 Amitabh: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/373408-ntbf-rc-5-r1 (6.8)

Max007x: Another really unfinished track. The detail at the start is cool but what else can I say?

CC: Finish it!

Eli: Your start was pretty good, seemed like it had potential to be some pretty decent detail but it fell flat as you didn't finish it.

CC: try and pick up your game and finish next round!

18 StealthNation: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/372766-rc5r1-unfin (6.1)

Max007x: This is so unfinished I can’t really say much about it. I like the start and it looks like it would’ve been really creative.

CC: Finish your entry next time

Eli: I wouldn't say this sucks at all, seemed like it could have been creative, you just need to finish it!

CC: Finish your track and don't have so much discomfort and fear into posting.

Wave: it had a good start, well detailed water flow. .. but not finished

19 Mairaire: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/365110-the-sucky (4.8)

Max007x: ???

CC: ???

Eli: Metal slug is awesome, don't doubt why you copy metal slug.

CC: > Copies Metal Slug

> Demotivated

> I suck

> low points.

> tries to make track

> passes

> gets in top 10.

Just because you're getting your ideas from another game doesn't mean it's copying, use it to motivate you and not demotivate you

Wave: Not much effort put into it, i guess it was just a draft... but hope to see something better in next rounds.
