List Official Featured Ghosts

We know we took too long, but we finished reviewing all the suggestions. I don't have the time to make a decent post right now so expect an update tomorrow with all the suggestions made until now (since the last update).

 

I starting to write the post now. It might take a bit, since there's a lot of ghosts. But it'll be out soon.

 

UPDATE:

Hey, guys. What's up? I know we took longer with this update than we usually do, so my apologies for that. Still, other than the things in our lives we have been some other stuff here in the forums that made us not have much time to review the suggestions, so there wasn't much we could do other than wait things get more chill. We released the Top 10 Offroad Ghosters in the Free Rider Top Ghosters List thread, we announce the monthly Ghosting Awards from January and mainly we focused on making the Free Rider World Cup 5, that is ending tomorrow and all of the tracks were published already, so there's not much left to do there. That's when we found ourselves with time to review the ghosts, and we did it way faster than we usually do, considering when we started reviewed then. So without further ado, let's see how the reviews went:

GHOSTS WE DIDN'T FEATURE:

Anonyymi:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778844-so-150-subs/r/anonyymi - We really liked the ghost, since it's a different one, using all vehicles and Anonyymi did good on all of them, but we felt it wasn't enough for a feature. It's not that long, sometimes it's a bit messy, the track is not that hard, so we didn't feel like it's a feature. But I would like to see if some of our good vehicle ghosters could do a better ghost here.

Aquatics:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/614892-challenge-maybe/r/aquatics - Too short. No feature.

BoostButt:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1953-freeride/r/boostbutt - Great ghost, but too much smooth jumps for us. No feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/3813-jumps/r/boostbutt - Same as above, but not as good.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778888-refreshing-hillside/r/boostbutt - Beginning was great and it has many cool wheelies overall. There's many slip ups here and there, so we felt like it was not a feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/784482-uncharming/r/boostbutt - This is great. Nice competition, dope ghost. It's kinda short, though, and since it isn't that close to a perfect ghost, we didn't think it was a feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/784171-jefferson-residence/r/boostbutt - Good, but not crazy competition. Track is kinda new. Also, the ghost isn't even close to perfect. Not a feature, but I would like to see what you guys can do in this cool track.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/714623-spacebar-challenge/r/boostbutt/madara - Legendary leaderboard, but BoostButt was too far behind to win this thing, lol. So it totally could be improved. I would like to see some new ghosts here to compare with this, if someone is up for the task.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/600325-splash/r/boostbutt - This is great. I would vote for a feature because of the great pace, the consistency and great competition, but we ended up not featuring it, due to the mistakes. Still, for a long track that is hard to do fast, this is impressive. I feel like it's a feature without the mistakes.

Cerulean/Sharkfin:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/651295-022-eleridocs-gen-v0-0-5/r/cerulean - Not that crazy, but it's cool. I really liked the reverse wheelie bit and I think that the ghost is somewhat consistent and long enough, but it definitely could have more variation of tricks. In the words of Eryp: "Would want more breakflips. Some at the beginning and none at the end makes the ghost not very consistent. Close but no." So it was almost there for us, but not there yet.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/777048-riffraff/r/cerulean - Solid ghost on a popular featured track with a cool competition. We don't think it's fully optimized yet, but it has some great potential. If you compare his ghost with Purple_Nurple's, it's clear that there still some possible improvements.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/730298-trials-83/r/cerulean - This is insane, but it's half of the minimum length for fast ghosts and it only requires 1 really hard trick, so we are not making an exception this time. Still dope job, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/782545-tubing-fun/r/cerulean - Pretty much perfect, but again, it's too short. The standards are always changing on the game, so I feel like the standards for tube ghosting are high enough to not allow that many exceptions now. Great job, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/782107-ache/r/cerulean2 - I feel like it's a pretty simple track, and although the ghost is amazing, we felt like it wasn't crazy enough for an exception. Epic leaderboard, though. Great job, again.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778011-unruly-terrain/r/cerulean - Epic leaderboard, props to you for beating those people on an offroad climb track. But, I feel like your beginning wasn't that great, so the ghost is really improvable, sowe will put this as a challenge to see if people can optimize this more.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/784732-positively-fun-desc/r/cerulean - I wasn't sure about this one, but Eryp was more confident that it has room for improvement. According to Eryp I'm so confident this could be faster by boosting off the ceiling at parts. So no feat.". So we didn't feature it. I don't think he's wrong. I feel like the ghost has some possible spots were it could have been faster.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/253096-thanks/r/cerulean - This is great, but it's too short for us and not crazy enough for an exception.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/783858-thimblerig/r/cork/cerulean - Originally suggested by Cork. Sick ghost, but the track isn't hard enough for us. Also, the ghost is kinda short and there's 2 tied ghosts, so nothing too impressive here.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/787191-blueberries/r/cerulean - Another pretty much perfect ghost, but below the minimum length. I feel like if it happens all the time, it's not really an "exception", is it? Haha. But it's still insane, though. We both said maybes to it, so since at least for now we weren't 100% sure if it should be featured, we are not featuring it. Epic ghost, though.

Chaos-Fallen:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/695660-wolframic777/r/chaos-fallen - Improvable. Really solid competition, but racing against BoostButt's and Madara's ghosts it becomes clear that this could be improved. Your ghost wasn't perfect, but consistent as always, so you eventually took the lead. This should be a challenge.

Cork:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/783858-thimblerig/r/cork/cerulean - Already talked about it. No feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/7726-dh-with-logos/r/cork - Great ghost, but too much smooth jumps for us. We feel like it's not a feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/244495-another-one-2/r/cork - This is sick, but since Stevie.T took the lead for a while, we felt like it had some room for improvement. Really solid job, but we would like to see some improvements here and then it might become a feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/584134-smooth-mountains/r/cork - Nothing too impressive, honestly. Nice shortcut, though.

dantexpress:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/754786-ajaokuta/r/dantexpress - Legendary routing, deserves a shoutout for that. But it's very improvable. The beginning wasn't very good. No feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/668726-new-wings-ft-alexander/r/dantexpress - Nah, totally improvable.

DrChill:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/3797-street-trails/r/drchill - This is sick. We liked it. But, we both agreed that it had some mistakes and we both weren't sure if this should be featured, so we decided to not feature this. Since it's pretty close, we'll put this as a challenge, and maybe an improved ghost here could be a feature.

Giampitek:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778957-ntbf/r/giampitek - Nice ghost, very good routing, but we weren't impressed enough. No feature.

iTzChuckNorris:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/565226-nocturnal-rider/r/itzchucknorris - LOL. I remember that your tracks were like my favorite ones to play when I started on Free Rider 3, lol. Cool random comeback, nice trick at the end, but this ghost isn't a feature. Its skills are way beyond the level we have on the list, so that wouldn't be fair to anyone, haha.

Lax66Lax:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/286563-the-trek/r/Lax66Lax - Not a feature. It has some avoidable slow motions, and it's very improvable
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/674640-truck-truck/r/lax66lax - Nah. Too short and too much smooth jumps.

Madara:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/714623-spacebar-challenge/r/boostbutt/madara - I said it already on BoostButt's post. This shouldn't be a feature but could be a challenge.

NiteRider:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/193383-back-and-forth/r/niterider - I'm tied with your time and I say this isn't a feature. Nice cut, though.

PrestonII:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778443-b-a/r/prestonii - You suggested this as a trickghost, but we feel like this isn't good enough or long enough, so it's a no.

RedOrBlue:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/775333-blue-leaves-ft-jon312/r/redorblue - This is cool, but nothing too impressive for us.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/776457-random-track-desc/r/redorblue - This is so cool, really fun ghost. We felt like it was almost good enough for an exception, since it's a really cool to watch ghost, but the track isn't really hard enough for that. Incredible job, though!
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/777085-septarium/r/redorblue - Suggestion from someone else for the Other category. We don't think it should be featured. Yeah, this is insane, but you can pull off a cool BMX offroad ghost on any track at any time, so I don't think it's something worth putting on this category. At least not on this case.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778221-another-trial/r/redorblue - Cool ghost. We liked some parts, like that trick around 22 seconds, but most of the rest was that impressive, so no feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/742188-scorched-stone/r/redorblue - Trick around 25 seconds was sick, but there's too many mistakes for a feature for us.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/280551-unnamed/r/redorblue - Legendary ghost. We could consider this for an exception, maybe. But I feel like the death ruined the chances of this. Impressive job, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/786948-official-ranked-ghosting/r/redorblue - Really insane ghost, but it's clear that this isn't the fastest possible, since RedOrBlue started with an "unnecessary flip". It's still crazy, but we also don't think it had enough elements for the Other category, and since there's a clear possible faster ghost, it can't be a featured fast ghost either. So, no feature.

reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeta
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/777951-advanced-detail-fall/r/reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeta - What? No.

Rippedmagnet:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/658356-impromptu-flight-course-2/r/Rippedmagnet - This is cool, but not crazy enough for us.

RubeGoldberger:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/787637-flawless/r/rubegoldberger - We feel like this is really good. Not a mistake at all in the ghost as far as we can tell. Yeah, the track it's a bit too smooth, so I would like to see a full crazy competition here in order to feature this. So we are putting this as a challenge. But this totally could become a feature in the future if no one beats it.

Seasnails:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/537016-eucatastrophe1/r/seasnails - Nah, you could cut way more from the track. Not good enough.

spruce:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/448358-the-lost-cavern/r/dumptruck - I remember almost beating AIice's ghost here a while ago. You made a nice cut, hard to replicate, but I almost beat you. You managed to improve the ghost even further as dumptruck, but I feel like not enough people tried the cut. According to Eryp: "No feat. Comparing both of his ghosts (the other one on alice), they're too close to each other and lose time at different parts, so no feat.". I agree, so I feel like it should be a challenge, to see if someone can improve this.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/773419-sb-challenge/r/dumptruck - Great ghost. Not much competition, though. Also, you lost some of your lead in the end, so I feel it will work better as a challenge.

Stevie.T:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/272071-frhd-triathlon/r/stevie.t - We would vote for a feature, but it broke close to the end. So, no feature.

Symantec:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/651295-022-eleridocs-gen-v0-0-5/r/symantec - Nah. Too short.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/394124-accelerate-brake-lean-back/r/symantec - We are keep the criteria from the last update. We both said maybes to it and I feel like if it's an exception and it gets 2 maybes, it isn't really impressive enough for us to feature. But the ghost is very good, though, it's just a bit short.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/67420-two-way-inception-2/r/symantec - Cool ghost. You started very strong and fast, but he lost a bit of speed towards the end. Also, I don't think the track is hard enough, honestly.

temptrick:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/530645-ree-craggle/r/temptrick - Some people were referring to this as a "clear feature" and an "awesome ghost", but we must not be seeing the same ghost. Don't get me wrong, this is kinda cool and has some nice tricks here and there, but this isn't a consistently good trickghost. Many deaths, many parts without flow, so we think it's a no. Nice effort, though.

Tubeghoster:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/734872-speed-climb-ii/r/tubeghoster - Pretty much perfect, but this is too short and not crazy enough for an exception for us.

Unadvertised:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/240054-da-auto/r/unadvertised - Eryp kinda reviewed this on the thread and I agree with him. I don't think this is beatable, but this is pretty much just falling, so it's not impressive enough.

VincentRoberts:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/786986-oa/r/vincentroberts - Too short.

Xverse:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/784835-advanced/r/xverse - Insane ghost, but we feel like it's too short. Not crazy enough for an exception.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/252320-tragic/r/xverse - Suggested for Cork, beaten by you. Both had epic ghosts, but you got first and your ghost broke. No feature. Will put it as a challenge, since it's close to a feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/786845-the-opening/r/xverse - We are trying to establish better standards for this type of ghosts, so we didn't feature this. But it's a very good ghost, although the competition isn't the best. Good effort, but no feature.

YourKidding:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/785400-first-attempt-at-detail/r/yourkidding - Too short. Not good enough for an exception.

NEW FEATURED GHOSTS:

Fast Ghosts:

Cerulean/Sharkfin:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/779494-enigma-ft-cerulean/r/cerulean - This is mad impressive, as usual. I liked it because this is your usual type of suggestion, but we said that the tube ghosts standards were increasing and you should aim for longer tracks, and that's what you did. A 30 seconds long ghost is an improvement, so this is really good. There were like 4 really quick deaths, but we feel like this is a good enough ghost to be featured. 23rd feature for Cerulean.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/671692-kato-cliffs/r/cerulean - This is pretty consistent, we felt like it should be a feature. 24th feature for Cerulean.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/763401-climb-categories/r/cerulean - Xverse is really great at climbs and Cork created the track, so props to you for beating them by far. It might be just a bit improvable on a few parts, but I feel like that last climb is way too hard for us to ignore a deathless ghost, so we decided to feature it. 25th feature for Cerulean.

Chaos-Fallen:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/784525-happy-frwc5-quarterfinals/r/chaos-fallen - We were on the fence since it has a death, but we decided to feature the ghost. This was an insane ghost by Chaos-Fallen, in the middle onf a contest, that is way better than anyone else's, so I feel like the great parts of the ghost makes up for the quick death. Feature for us. 11th feature for Chaos-Fallen.

Cork:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/257665-forgotten-fix/r/cork - You had some minor mistakes on the first half, but we felt like the pace was consistent enough and the track was hard enough. Your last half was absurd and a deathless ghost on this is impressive! Crazy effort from Cork. We think it's a feature. Congrats Cork for getting back on the list after a while. 1st feature on this new participation on the list.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/224456-another-quick-one/r/cork - This one had more people completing it, and we felt like it is as strong as the one above. 2nd feature for Cork.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/220374-up/r/cork - This is not easy to do that fast. That beginning was epic. Feature for us. 3rd feature for Cork
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/236046-hard-enough/r/cork - Some minimal mistakes, but this is really solid. You are doing great on those CR-1 climb tracks. We think this one is good enough as well. 4th feature for Cork.

DrChill:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/766541-/r/drchill - You improved a bit since last time this ghost was suggested (around 0.4 second I guess). We felt like this is better, and since it was already a close call last time, we decided to featured the ghost now. 3rd feature for DrChill.

isekeb:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/733399-the-ultimatum/r/isekeb - Might be of the best recent suggestions we had. Really solid. 100% feature. 3rd feature for isekeb.

Madara:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/709238-endurance/r/madara - This is a feature. This track was made by RedOrBlue and has a legendary leaderboard. Also, you posted this ghost on the thread like a month ago as a challenge and it got some attention, but no one was able to beat him. Great speed, great consistency. 100% feature for us. 27th feature for Madara.

RedOrBlue:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/776922-challenge-8/r/redorblue - One of the best suggestions from the past months by far. 100% feature. You are crazy. 31st feature for RedOrBlue, that now is tied with mR..A as the 2nd placed player with the most featured ghosts in the game. Congrats!

Skatitall:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/781113-ecstatic/r/skatitall - This is a feature for us. Sick competition from many ghosters, including recent ghosts from spruce and RedOrBlue that are killing the offroad game right now, so we think this is solid enough for a feature. 2nd feature for Skatitall.

spruce:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/533484-more-offroad/r/dumptruck - Other than RedOrBlue on some parts, no one came close to you on this ghost. You are killing it right now. We felt like this was a feature. 7th ghost for spruce.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/781335-frwc5-gsr2/r/dumptruck - It has like 3 quick deaths, but it was made under pressure on a contest while racing against Madara. We felt like this was dope. Anonyymi suggested this, so I feel like this says a lot about the ghost. Zycerak took the lead for a while, but this is a strong ghost in a sometimes enraging track, so we felt like this should be a feature. 8th feature for spruce.

Stevie.T:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778969-insanity-2/r/stevie.t - The competition isn't the most insane ever and it has some minimal mistakes, but we felt like this was good enough for a feature. 9th feature for Stevie.T. You are getting closer to the Pro Ghoster medal.

Xverse:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/671625-fun-climb/r/Xverse - Legendary climb ghost. It might be a bit short, but the climb seems hard and we thought it was enough for a feature. 10th feature for Xverse.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/483251-should-i-make-more-of-these/r/xverse - Not much competition, but you are so good on those climbs, lol. We agreed that this should be feature. 11th feature for Xverse.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/677071-gaaat/r/xverse - You lead pretty much from start to finish. Excellent technique for the inclinations and braking, really impressive. 12th feature for Xverse.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/781696-expire/r/xverse - People thought RedOrBlue's ghost was crazy and feature worthy (which was), so it's really impressive that you managed to beat him. This ghost is 100% a feature for us. 13th feature for Xverse.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/785392-brush-5/r/xverse - This ghost is insane. When I first reviewed this, the track was published for like only 35 minutes and he already had a similar ghost. After a while, some great players tried to beat him and failed, so we think it should be a feature. 14th feature for Xverse.

Vehicle Ghosts:

Cerulean/Sharkfin:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/743264-truck-tubes/r/cerulean - The sexflixdad's ghost is a copy, so we are not counting it. But this ghost is probably my favorite fast truck ghost on this game so far. Really nice. It's considerably solid and you did an amazing trick at 4.90 seconds. There might be some minor mistakes here and there, but we felt like this is the type of ghost to push truck ghost further, so we are featuring it. Great job! 26th feature for Cerulean. Congrats for being the first player to have a truck fast ghost (mR..A has a truck trickghost) and the first player to have at least one featured ghost made mainly (or entirely) with 3 different vehicles other than the bike (blob, helicopter and truck).

Rippedmagnet:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/746191-crash-course-desc/r/rippedmagnet - No competition from the other helicopter legends, but this seems good enough for us. Pretty consistent and very impressive. 2nd feature for Rippedmagnet.

Auto Cuts:

Lax66Lax:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/61055-awesome-automatic-w-boosters/r/lax66lax - This is actually good, honestly. Since it's not under 10 seconds and it's has enough cuts, we felt like it was a strong suggestion. After some discussion, we decided to feature it. Congrats Lax66Lax for entering the list with your first feature ever (if I'm not mistaken)! Nicely done, man.

Ninjasparkour:
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/62033-my-1st-track/r/xagefimuh - This is sick. We are trying to check if this is 100% legit, but for now we'll putting it as a feature under review. For now, 8th feature for Ninjasparkour.

PS: It'll take a while to update the stats, so I'm not doing this today.

 

Really dope ghost. We can make a more detailed review later if you want, but I feel like it's clear what you need to do. This is good, but it has some avoidable deaths, spots where you got stuck for a bit and some other minimal mistakes. I personally feel like if you can avoid most of those you can cut at least 20-30 seconds of this ghost. It's not the easiest track, so I don't think a feature here needs to be 100% perfect, but it needs to have less mistakes than this ghost for sure. Nicely done, though.
