List Official Featured Ghosts

UPDATE:

Hey, guys. What's up? I know we took a long time for the update this time, but we were really busy with college, work, hosting ORG and some other stuff. So we were just able to finish reviewing the ghosts now. But without further ado, let's announce the suggestions that were featured and the ones that weren't.

NOT FEATURED:

Anonyymi (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/155909-kykotsmovi-mesa/r/anonyymi - Decent ghost, but not enough for a feature. The last 2 seconds were insane, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/780704-impulse/r/anonyymi - Awesome ghost, great competition (it's nice to see the race between the players in the leaderboard), but it's not impressive enough for an exception for us.

Cerasium (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/168458-memorial/r/cerasium - Sick ghost, but it isn't anything special, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1100-track-1/r/cerasium - Cool ghost, nice victory over Anonyymi, but we don't think it's good enough.

Cerulean (6):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/705604-gldf-v1/r/cerulean - This is cool, but the ghost isn't perfect and we also don't think that the competition is strong enough.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/788459-drained/r/cerulean - This was really interesting, but we don't think it's a feature. Both Anonyymi and Cerulean had places to improve. They do have an insane duel and even though Cerulean won, sub 15 is possible, and we feel like it wouldn't be crazy enough for an exception.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/780183-deep-underground/r/cerulean - We didn't think that this was very impressive, honestly. No feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/554972-tetrations-challenge-48/r/cerulean - This is insane! But it has too many deaths. Big shoutout to Cerulean, though, for completing this. Dope stuff!
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/502052-coureur-de-rue/r/cerulean - Hmmm, no.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/4695-wooooooooooooooooooo/r/cerulean - It's a cool ghost, but it's also just too much slow motion, we don't think it's worthy.

HyperCube (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/150512-subvert-evolved-reuploaded/r/hypercube - Great stuff, but just as most of HyperCube's great ghosts, it's kinda short. We don't think it's impressive enough for a feature.

Kanvo (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/6658-smooth-dirt-jumps/r/kanvo - This is good. One of the best attempts at "MTB trickghosting" that I can remember of. Still, not there yet. He did well most of the time, but there were still some parts where he could have added more tricks, but it's hard with MTB, since you can't change directions as fast while making tricks compared to BMX. The MTB bike is also bigger, which can get in the way of some good tricks sometimes. Respectable effort, but not enough for now.

Lax66Lax (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/344511-imagine-being-this-rider/r/lax66lax/youraverageindian - Cool, but not impressive enough for an exception.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/76811-angst/r/lax66lax - Cool, but it's too short.

MadMaxx21 (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/814761-gravity-run/r/madmaxx21 - Impecable routing, we really liked this ghost. But we also feel like it has too much "air time", not that many inputs and it's kinda short, so we ended up deciding to not feature it. But great work!

RedOrBlue (5):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/811694-he-ll/r/redorblue - Suggested by YourKidding, beaten by 4 people. Not worthy.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/664730-jagged-edges-2/r/redorblue - Suggested by ThanSeal, beaten by RedOrBlue. We don't feel like it's good enough.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/171391-escape-vii/r/redorblue - Good stuff. If it was over 15 seconds it could be good for a feature. Since it's not "long enough" we don't think it's good enough for an exception. It's executed very well, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/815999-frolic/r/redorblue - Really cool ghost, but we think it's improvable. The fact that RedOrBlue did this in 10 minutes kind of reinforces the idea that it's probably beatable. It's a very sick ghost, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/577076-adventure-jumps/r/redorblue - This was overall really great and the cuts at the end were insane, but it's not a feature for us.. With the lead he had in the beginning, it's clear that he didn't do the best possible time when he let Cerasium and ShamatoZ match him at some point. It's hard to beat, but still clearly improvable, so no feature.

Sidewalk (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/411242-daedalus/r/sidewalk - This is cool. It's not a feature, though, since the standards for offroad are kinda insane nowadays and if we featured this today, this would be taken really easily, so no feature.

spruce (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/778377-joyful/r/dumptruck - Madara had most of the lead here. It's a nice ghost, but improvable, no feature.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/779464-geometric-offroad/r/dumptruck - Cool ghost, but we didn't think it was impressive enough.

Swiftfly (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/811064-100-subs/r/swiftfly - Really cool ghost. Nice routing, but this is just not feature worthy.

tetrationiscool (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/534958-nature-scape/r/tetrationiscool - Nah, too many deaths.

Uniior (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/130130-hold-up-preview/r/uniior - Uniior beat ItsYaBoiAndy in a few minutes, and it didn't took to long for me to beat him, so no feature.

Xverse (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/815347-madaras-sleep-insomnia/r/xverse - Awesome ghost, but Madara pointed out that he was ahead of Xverse multiple times and it's still improvable, so no feature.

YourAverageIndian (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/811792-preview/r/youraverageindian - Beat his ghost with just a few tries. Neither of them are worthy.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/344511-imagine-being-this-rider/r/lax66lax/youraverageindian - As we said before, not impressive enough for an exception.

YourKidding (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/818021-chlici-2/r/yourkidding - Too much slow motion. No feature.

CHALLENGES:

Anonyymi (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/393689-nfrl/r/anonyymi - No feature. Great start, really average middle part and kind of a decent ending. Not there yet.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/676198-splinter-by-east/r/anonyymi - It's hard to keep a flow on this track, so Anonyymi did a great job here. Nice flow, nice routing (great cut at 31-32 seconds), but we don't think it's overall super impressive. Still, we think it's cool and we both said maybes to it, so we are putting it as a challenge. Maybe if Anonyymi stays at the top or if someone does a really good on this track we can have a feature here.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1123-forever-falls/r/anonyymi - We thought that this is really cool, but improvable. Let's see what we can have here.

Arroww (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/292761-three-rows/r/arroww - Could be a feature without the mistakes, right now it should be a challenge.

Cerasium (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/816557-haha-scanc-e-13/r/cerasium - Cool ghost. We think it can be a feature without deaths, so let's see if it can be improved.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/816930-flushed/r/cerasium - The ghost is good, but the track is kinda new, so it should be a challenge.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/818527-covetousness/r/cerasium - The ending is totally insane, but the track is kinda new and RedOrBlue showed with his ghost that the rest of the track (before that ending) can still be improved. But this is sick!

Chaos-Fallen (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/285906-sahara/r/chaos-fallen - This is really good, but we feel like it's improvable. We both said maybe to this one, so we decided to put as a challenge.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/814780-gneissic/r/chaos-fallen - Great, but improvable. Nice routing, but Zycerak got ahead for a good amount of time, so we think that it can still be improved.

Cork (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/775932-500-sub-special-desc/r/cork - This is sick and made us get on the fence about it, but we decided to not feature it. To quote Eryp: "Dookie does the cut significantly faster + theres more room for improvement elsewhere.". I agree with that statement, since dookie77 does execute the cut faster and if you compare Cork's ghost to DrChill's or RadiumRC's, the first part could be done way faster. Yeah, he's the only one who could make a ghost that fast using the cut, so it's still respectable. That's why we are putting it as a challenge, to see if more people can replicate his cut in a faster way or not.

DrChill (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/718477-peak-by-mr-a/r/drchill - Really great competition between DrChill and Chaos-Fallen. Great ghosts, but there's still many spots for improvement, so we would like to see some faster ghosts here. Sub 50, maybe?

mR..A (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/375641-mocha-expresss/r/mr..a - I think this is really cool, but it's almost there. There's some mistakes and some parts where some players like Sidewalk get ahead of him, so I think it should be a challenge for sure. It has potential.

RedOrBlue (4):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/787637-flawless/r/redorblue - We weren't sure if we should put this on a challenge again, but RedOrBlue ended up getting a first place with a death on it, so we want to put it one more time here, to see if someone can get a better ghost here. Might be the last time, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/813671-pseudo/r/redorblue - We loved the ghost, we probably would let it slide with the first few mistakes, but the last that kind of ruined it for us. Without it, it'll probably be a clear feature, but right now we are putting it as a challenge. Epic ghost, though.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/456878-studio-apt/r/redorblue - I mean, what to say about this guy? He "wasted" some time with some tricks, but he still won. It's obviously beatable, though, since he starts behind, takes the lead after a bit, goes behind again due to a small mistake, but still pulls out a last second win. Epic ghost, but it's not fast enough for a fast ghost feature and not different enough for a feature in the other category, so it isn't a feature. We are putting it as a challenge, though, for the case of one of the players here wanting to go for a fast ghost here.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/794866-inert/r/redorblue - Very good, but it's beatable, so we'll put as a challenge.

TheMemeBiker (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/618646-unfinished/r/thememebiker - Really good stuff. Routing was great, consistency was good and he didn't die once. But it's clearly improvable. There's some clear improvements throughout the whole track in both vehicle and bike parts, but this is a solid effort. Should be a challenge, so we can see how much optimization can be done in a ghost here.

NEW FEATURES:

Anonyymi (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/776828-mortality/r/anonyymi - To quote Madara: "Now this is awesome. Has the lead from the start to finish. Exciting and many close calls. Almost no mistakes.". Really great stuff, 42nd feature for Anonyymi.

Cerasium (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/313117-error-651/r/cerasium - This is sick, really cool ghost. Not that long, but we think it's enough for a feature. 3rd feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/196564-wheelie-4/r/cerasium - Auto cut made from the start, really nice. We feel like it's a fair feature. 4th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/396742-race-track/r/cerasium - To quote Madara: "Crazy ghost, even though there were 2-3 tiny mistakes but it doesn't really matter. Bodied the track and crushed everyone, awesome feature!". Also, to quote myself from my review: "One of the best ghosts I have seen from him. He destroyed all the competition. Easy feature.". With this 5th feature. Cerasium is now finally getting the Recognized Ghoster medal. Congrats!

Cerulean (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/741310-trial-contest-2/r/cerulean - To quote Madara: "This was amusingly clean. Professional ghost.". 49th feature for Cerulean.

DrChill (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/217220-reclusion/r/drchill - Really crazy stuff. Dope ghost, we think it's a feature. 7th feature for DrChill.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/676042-terra-incognita-by-vapaa/r/drchill - It's not perfect, since it has a clear mistake at 36.80 seconds mark and some other small ones. But we felt like this was a very solid ghost, the track has some great competition and it's kinda long, so we decided to feature it. 8th feature for DrChill.

RedOrBlue (2):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/590774-trick-or-treat-remastered/r/redorblue - Cerasium's ghost was suggested on the thread, but it was beaten by RedOrBlue. Maybe some improvements are possible, but the competition is already crazy enough, and the ghost is already very good, so we felt like a feature was fair here. 41st feature for RedOrBlue.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/780688-frwc5-group-stage-1/r/redorblue - We had this suggestion from the Free Rider World Cup 5 earlier this year, and after some discussion we decided to feature this ghost. Might not be 100% perfect, but it's very good. I don't even need to say that the competition on this track was insane, so I feel like this is a fair feature. 42nd feature for RedOrBlue, that now has tied with Anonyymi for the 2nd place in the leaderboard of official featured ghosts.

ShamatoZ (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/677731-balloon-cave-ntbf/r/shamatoz - Yeah guys, I believe this is it. This is the best balloon ghost I have ever seen, made on an actually challenging track. Only 1 quick mistake on an almost 3 minutes ghost. Clear feature. Congrats to ShamatoZ for the first ever balloon ghost feature. Str1p3s almost got one once and was the one who suggested a ghost on this track, but this is the next level balloon ghosting that was needed. ShamatoZ has 1 feature now.

Silver_bird7 (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/9457-bouncy/r/silver_bird7 - We weren't 100% sure since the ending wasn't the best, but the ghost is really cool, the track is really cool and we want to see some more competition here. We could make a challenge out of this one, but we ended up deciding that we think that a feature here is already fair enough, so congrats to Silver_bird7 for your first feature. Really good ghost!

spruce (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/781041-malice/r/dumptruck - To quote myself: "Insane stuff. Maybe it's not perfect, but this is very hard to do and no one come close to what he did yet." and to quote Madara: "Superb. The track is very difficult and his flow is insane.". 9th feature for spruce!

Xverse (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/813657-quick-climb-1/r/xverse - We weren't sure due to the length, but we ended up deciding to feature it, since it's really good and it's above the minimum length. Beautifully executed ghost, deserving of a feature. 29th feature for Xverse.

 

It's already featured.
