    new update! we have 13 new features to announce:
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/709759-utah/r/skijumping we had our eye on this one before the last update. only waited to announce it to see if anyone could replicate it, and no one has. congrats to skiijumping on their first feature!
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/52773-program-bmx/r/freelander2 freelander2 i guess specializes in ridiculous cuts like this. another basically unbeatable one for him
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/188296-w-i-p-free-play/r/mr..a a really clean combination of a fast ghost and a trick ghost. because it's not the fastest on the track it'll be categorized as a trick ghost, but don't start thinking that it's just that.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/641550-cave-track/r/xagefimuh looks tas'ed honestly. oh well. it's their first feature so congrats i guess
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/487217-platformz/r/mr..a an exquisite example of good routing. i'm pretty sure i had the best time a few years ago, and look at where it is now. seeing growth like this is always super cool to me
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/710486-a-cut-desc/r/mr..a a few minor mistakes here and there, but all in all it's another super clean ghost by mr..a.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/274437-farewell/r/mr..a a great example of a ghost greatly enhanced by wall rides. the last jump could've been better for sure, but in general it's still an outstanding ghost
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/710226-avox-hold/r/zycerak this is one of those tracks that you can definitely tell is possible by looking at it, but there's a few hard parts that screw you up every time. the fact that zycerak completed this without really slowing down at all shows his prowess in cutting and completing autos, so shoutouts to him.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/712645-mtb-wheelie/r/zycerak i'm not sure how zycerak routs these lmao. it's super cool how he continues to find routes like this. another feat for him.
    http://frhd.co/t/680661-kowareta/r/brendanmagill brendan's first feature. we decided that his efforts warranted a feature, and that this is one of his best ghosts. it's definitely beatable (as evidenced by the deaths), but because of the length of the track and the short duration of the deaths we decided to overlook them. so for the time being, congrats to brendan. hopefully this will motivate you to continue improving and getting more features.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/242211-skate-park/r/mr..a at this point in the game i'd expect that most trick ghosts would be reinventing the wheel. but this many years later mr..a still continues to try new stuff. it's amazing to me honestly
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/677761-satan-escape-unfin/r/zycerak great cuts and speed by zycerak. minor mistakes here and there, but still a solid ghost.
    http://frhd.co/t/627153/r/notcalculus this is ridiculous. track is super, super hard to complete, let alone do deathless. one of the best ghosts in the game.

    with that, Zycerak becomes the fourth player to earn the legendary ghoster medal! congrats! each of the "kings" of a ghosting category (anonyymi w fast ghosts, sannin w vehicle/heli ghosts, mr..a w trick ghosts, and zycerak w autocuts) have now earned legendary ghoster medals. that's pretty cool if you ask me.
    one other minor announcement: vegetables discovered a cut on bowloffire's campaign track (https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/51092) that cuts off a significant part of the track. we didn't think his ghost was good enough to feature, and foxgamingtm, the only other person to pull off the cut afaik, had their ghost break. we're challenging the community to try and get a good ghost using the cut. if you do it, you'll most likely be rewarded w a feature. if this announcement is successful, maybe we'll continue this by adding a challenge to the end of each update. i've got a few tracks i'd love to see people get good ghosts on!
    that's it for now. we'll get another update out soon. will also be updating the list and leaderboards later today as soon as i can

    Also, are there allowed to multiple feats on a single track?
    My run on Skeleton Sea was featured until some people found a cut in the track with some sloppy ghosts. My ghost was clean, quick, and deserves a feature for the difficulty of pulling off a ghost like that.

    we didnt review it. shouldve said that we didnt review every suggestion to that point
    short answer because it's a fast ghost (in that it's not a trick ghost, vehicle ghost, or autocut). since it's no longer the fastest ghost on the track, it can't be a feature. we could look into making a new category for features like this, but there hasn't been many other cases that would justify it.
    long answer: if there's an optimal route on a track, if you're trying to make a fat ghost there's no reason you shouldn't use that route. that means that if a faster route is discovered via a cut or just alternate routing, the old route becomes obsolete. since we're really only looking at the ghost that collects all the stars the fastest, not using the most optimal route puts you at a massive disadvantage. in a situation like this one, even considering the deaths, the difficulty of the skeleton sea cut and the amount of time it cuts makes the ghost still featurable. your ghost, while really good, doesn't get to the star the fastest and as such isn't a perfect ghost.
    on top of that, if we begin featuring multiple ghosts on the same track that take different routes, we might end up down a slippery slope. an extreme example would be taking 2 separate routes on magnum opus. you'll definitely complete the track with a different time on both runs because all 6 routes take a different amount of time to return to the start. despite one ghost being faster by likely 10-20 seconds, does that still mean both ghosts are featurable? my answer would be no, though in the specific case of magnum opus it could be looked into. same with skeleton sea. i guess for now we'll just say that we'll consider it, but idk
