    ok i think i explained it wrong so i'll do it again (hopefully i explain it right this time)

    step 1: press spacebar on your keyboard

    step 2: press and hold down the z key on your keyboard

    step 3: press spacebar again on your keyboard and stop holding z on your keyboard a split second after you press spacebar again on your keyboard

    step 4: press z on your keyboard

    step 5: press spacebar

    (symantec had to explain this to me like 50 times before i finally got it :rofl::rofl::rofl:)

    The streams and how he explains things make him seem legit (barring the first try thing), it's just his amount of control that makes me have doubt based off of bolaside 2 and send this to someone you hate

    if you're still talking about symatnic, you surely haven't come across this young protogé here: gonb.
    I assure you, in every aspect gonb is the best ghoster I have ever laid my eyes on :rolleyes:! not only did he complete bolaside II, which some deemed "one of the hardest ever", but he was merely playing with his food! thus explaining why he didn't beat symidtic's time. :rofl::rofl::cry::mad:
    while deeply analyzing this amazing ghost by Mr. gonb, (found here: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/279722-bolaside-ii/r/gonb) I found it laughable, almost comical, that he had completed one of the hardest parts of the track, not once, but twice! although there are always different ways to complete a track, Mr. g had taken an unethical route to completing this track which I found myself dumbfounded!>
    In otherwords, symantic is old news! As seen below, most of you may not remember but playboi carti had actually predicted this takeover in his hit song, "Shoota", correctly predicting that gonb will slowly takeover every deemed-impossible track to ever exist on this game!
    Some will say symantic cheats, but it is hard to say without collecting hardcore evidence. I do believe that Mr. gonb is legit though ass seen that he does have a slower time than Mr. TAS himself. I say another impressive ghost by gonb can make a strong case for him to be solidified as one of the best ghosters in the world!

    legend has it 'gonb' knew of his ghosting prowess from the very beginning, and knew he had to take down symantec, so he rearranged the letters of his name to throw shade discretely at symantec, as shown in this handy template

    PRE-UPDATE:

    The next update regarding the reviews of the suggestions is pretty much ready for a few days, but the timing didn't seem fit with all of this talk regarding Symantec, especially since the update would add many features for him and since he went kinda silent lately. We decided to put Symantec's stuff on hold for a bit, but we'll explain everything in the update that will come later today. It'll be a long post, so I'm just saying that we'll post the reviews today to every ghost up to this post. Yeah, there's over 150 so we might have missed something, so anything let us know. We'll also announce some changes regarding the ghost mod team and as I mentioned, where we are regarding the Symantec situation.

    Edit: I'll be locking this thread for a bit, since there will probably be 3 or 4 parts in this new update and I want all of the posts to be close to each other

    BIG UPDATE (PART 1 OF 4)

    Hello, guys. It's been a while. After like 2 and a half months we are finally posting another update, and guys, we have A LOT to talk about on this one. We'll be talking about changes in the Ghost Mod team, things regarding Symantec's current situation regarding the legitimacy of his ghosts, reviews for new ghosts, ghosts requested for removal, old exceptions and things like that.

    New Mods and Changes in the Ghost Mod team:


    Yeah, nothing lasts forever. I guess that it's pretty clear right now that the ghost mod team is struggling to keep things together at this point. We are all busy IRL, so we are sad to announce some departures from the ghost mod team, but we are also excited to see the new chapter for the team and also announce a new mod (and maybe look for some more). Here's how things will go:

    LEAVING: Madara, NotVeryGood, Eryp - Unfortunately those guys won't be active on things related to ghosting anymore. Eryp has been an amazing partner in the thread since like September of 2019, but he's more focused on other stuff now, such as IRL things, being an admin on forums and mod for the game, hosting or judging in trackmaking contests and making tracks occasionally, so he won't be that active anymore on ghosting related stuff, as he hasn't been since Madara and NotVeryGood started helping officially. Thank you for all the help, much appreciated, you are always welcome to help whenever you feel like it. As for NotVeryGood, unfortunately it seems like he might have had some personal issues and kinda left the game a few months ago, so I hope he's doing alright. He was very helpful whenever he was active, so thanks for the help, man! As for Madara, this guy was the biggest partner on the team in the last year, always helping with all of the reviews, ghosting awards, changes in the top 100 list and the many ghosting contests we did. Thanks, man! You were a vital part of the ghosting community (and still are), so your absence will be felt. I know you want to distance yourself from the game a little bit, want to focus on some IRL stuff, so good luck on your endeavours, and if you want to help here again, just let me know. You are NotVeryGood were great helpers since the beginning of 2021 and even before that, so thanks for all that you guys did.

    STAYING: Totoca12 - For now I'm staying. As the only one kind of active from the ghost mod team I feel like I need to be here for a bit longer, at least for a transition. I have said it a few times, but last year was a bit too much for me. There was not a single week where I wasn't involved with FRHD and I doubt that I spent more than 5 days out of the 365 we had last year without logging in on FRHD, or at least the forums. This is not very healthy and I'm trying to focus on my life priorities, so one of the things I plan to do this year is reduce the amount of time I spend on FRHD. With that said, since I do update lots of posts and spreadsheets, it'll take a solid transition for the Races forums not need my presence in any shape or form to stay active in all of the relevant threads, so that's my plan for the year. I still want to help, but I also would like to see that if I can't help, this thing will still go strong, without any problems. Let's see if we can do that. For that, I'll need some reinforcements.

    ARRIVING: RadiumRC - We have been discussing for a bit about new mods and we all agreed that RadiumRC would be a good pick. The guy is a cool dude, a respected player, an active player and a very skilled one, so I think he'll be a great addition to the team. He'll be a full ghost mod. Chaos-Fallen, Anonyymi and Calculus will also be helping occasionally as well (and maybe Silver_bird7), although they won't be full ghost mods, at least not for now. We might keep looking for a few new players.


    Symantec's Situation

    Yeah, I know. If you go through the last few pages of the thread you will pretty much only see people talking about Symantec, mentioning some "allegations", "accusations", "suspicions" and "claims" about the legitimacy (or lack of it) of his ghosts. This got so many great ghosters involved, such as Cerasium, Cerulean, RadiumRC, Chaos-Fallen, Pie42, ShamatoZ, RubeGoldberger, Silver_bird7 and even RedOrBlue and Anonyymi.

    People were suspicious amount his average between inputs, his long pauses while spacebarring, possible inconsistent stuff on his streams, weirdness in the ghosts, lacks of braking in some parts, his "first try" completions and lots of other stuff. And just after all of these allegations started showing up Symantec went silent. What a timing. All I can say now is that we are looking through it, talking to many different players and figuring out what we can do to verify the legitimacy of his ghosts. Yeah we heard things about challenging him in random trials and watch him ghost them, uses of handcam and some other stuff. We'll consider it. I'm talking to him once in a while as well, but it seems like he has been restricted by his parents and has some other problems that are not making him able to ghost that well (yeah, what a timing as well), so things are becoming hard to handle. We know that he was caught cheating with some FPS stuff as Alex-P back in May 2020 (see it here), but it's been a while. We'll figure things out. But you might be wondering: What are we going to do for now?

    We won't remove any of his features, but we'll consider that all of them are "Under Review". As for his new suggestions, we had some really serious work to review over 90 suggestions from him, so we are posting those reviews. However, we'll post them on a separated post (I guess it'll be the 3rd post), and they won't be added to his features, but will be added to the "Unverified Features", alongside Silent-Rider's.

    If anyone has any other suggestions on what to do on this situation let us know. We don't have any solid evidence that he cheats for now, so we can't just remove the ghosts from the list. His absence makes things harder, though.

    BIG UPDATE (PART 2 OF 4)

    NEW REVIEWS - PART 1 (not Symantec):

    (Total of New Reviews: 160 ghosts) - Reviewed by Totoca12 & Madara (his last review, R.I.P.)

    NOT FEATURED/CHALLENGES:


    Cerasium (2):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/470612-adventure-ii/r/cerasium - Good ghost, but you had 10 or 11 deaths (one of them did cost a lot of time) and had at least one more relevant mistake, so I don't think it's a feature, even if the track is 6+ minutes long. If it was a non-spacebarrer, maybe we could consider something due to the effort, but you can do better. No feature, let's put it as a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/371720-ultimate-weight-loss-program/r/cerasium - I feel like it starts amazing but it has some slow spots in the 2nd half. Should be a challenge.

    Cerulean (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/777048-riffraff/r/cerulean - Nah, Cerasium choked this one. Challenge.

    Cork (3):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/862760-aviation-iii/r/cork - It's great, but it isn't perfect, and nowadays ghosts this short have to be near perfect. Should be a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/693815-noob-trials-3/r/cork - We think this is quite good, but it lacks speed a little bit. We don't think it's quite there. I guess it can be a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/733990-abandoned-cavern/r/cork - I really liked the first half, but I think that the 2nd half lacked some speed. No feature. Maybe a challenge.

    DemonGamerx (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/870012-wastelands-preview/r/sparks21221 - Too short not 1st place.

    Embers (10):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/64765-war-3-paratrooper-reloaded/r/embers - There's a track like this one with a faster ghost (https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/59226/r/lax66lax). Well, anyways, epic cut, but everything else was quite slow, so no feature. A challenge for Lax66Lax ghost at most.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2326-very-cool/r/embers - Good routing and choices throughout the track, but there's many spots to improve on, starting with the first jump. Also, the track is pretty smooth, so I'm not sure if a feature here is likely to happen.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872708-trickghost-challenge/r/embers - Cool ghost, but there's too many slow motions for a trickghost and it's not good enough for a fast ghost.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872955-smaller-spaces/r/embers - Not 1st place. 1st place isn't good enough.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/659804-park/r/embers - Decent effort, I can see that you are trying, but no.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/776813-smooth-track/r/embers - Not 1st place. 1st place isn't good enough.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/284761-skate-park-contest/r/s0sa - Similar to some previous ones. Not there yet.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/284761-skate-park-contest/r/embers - Dope frontflips, but your wheelies are not that good yet and you are lacking some variation of tricks.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/307608-city/r/embers - Not there yet as well.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/667036-trickghost/r/embers - Too much slow motion.

    ItsYaBoiAndy (2):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/686043-truck-auto-like-it-plz/r/itsyaboiandy - I was considering a vote for a feature, since I gave it a couple of tries and couldn't replicate it, but I saw that many players were able to make similar ghosts, so I'm pretty sure that if we featured this it would be beaten easily. No feature.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/294575-mountain-cascade/r/itsyaboiandy - Too short.

    JustAGDFan (3):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/868594-blob/r/justagdfan - Beaten by 3 players. Zigouillator's ghost is cool, but he gets behind Uniior most of the time, so this is a challenge at most.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872708-trickghost-challenge/r/justagdfan - Cool, but too many slow mos.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872513-hard-trial/r/justagdfan - No. The ghost was destroyed by many players and none of the ghosts are feature worthy.

    MaDmAn63 (2):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/866528-just-ride/r/madman63 - Not 1st place, too short.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1300-precision/r/madman63 - Not 1st place, too short.

    mobility (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2392-winter-run-2/r/mobility - Not 1st place and the 1st place ghost isn't good enough.

    pawflix (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867931-enchanted-waterfall-ntbf/r/pawflix - Beaten by Cerasium and his ghost isn't good enough.

    RadiumRC (3):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/865571-cips-trial/r/radium_rc - It's a great ghost, but in the words of Madara: "Too short, not enough competition, there is room for optimization still."
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2976-longest-endo-ever-5/r/radiumrc - This is a shorter version of the track you got a feature on later on this update, so I feel like we should just stick with the longer one. No feature.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/861315-revelation/r/radium_rc - I'm not sure if you suggested this, but we ended up reviewing it anyways. I think it's sick, but I'm not sure if this is close to the best we can have yet. I feel like we should put it as a challenge to get some more great ghosters on this.

    RandomTurtleBoi (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872708-trickghost-challenge/r/randomturtleboi - Cool ghost, but too many slow motions to consider.

    Sidewalk (10):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/305555-s-key/r/sidewalk_2 - Perfect wheelie ghost, but we felt like this isn't that impressive anymore, unfortunately. Maybe we'll have to check some older trickghosts, even more than we'll do in this update, to see if ghosts like this one should still be featured. We didn't fully agree on this review but since we weren't both 100% sure this should be a feature, we decided to not make it a feature then.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/410315-tube-trails-part-6/r/sidewalk - Maybe without the mistakes. Challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/842399-gravity-lab-trial/r/sidewalk - No feature. Ghost is good, but it can improved by a lot, as we could see with Chaos-Fallen's ghost. Even if we put this as a challenge, someone like Symantec or RadiumRC would do a sub-15 ghost and then it wouldn't be worthy. So let's not waste any more time with this one.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867106-flight-3296/r/sidewalk - Suggested for RadiumRC, beaten by Sidewalk in a RadiumRC track. I feel like Sidewalk was behind RadiumRC for most of the track, so there's some room for improvement. I'll say challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867820-eclipsis/r/sidewalk - Sidewalk beat a really solid suggestion from TheMemeBiker. I feel like this ghost is almost there, but I think even Sidewalk himself said he could improve it a little bit still, so since it doesn't have much solid competition I feel like this should be a challenge, as TheMemeBiker wanted.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/870358-aramore/r/sidewalk - This is kinda good, but nothing that special. Maybe some more competition could help. I'll go with a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872438-yea-lol/r/sidewalk - Good ghost, but only 2 players completed the track, let's put it as a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867064-ridge-line-near-rb-hardline/r/sidewalk - Epic 1st half from Sidewalk and epic 2nd half from RadiumRC. I feel like a combination of both could get a feature here. Challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/6595-doctor-park/r/sidewalk - It was suggested for TheMemeBiker or Embers, but then Sidewalk beat it and posted it in the thread. Good routing, but the ghost could be better. No feature. Maybe a challenge.

    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/876138-cross-country-endurance/r/sidewalk - No feature. Got behind Cerasium for the whole track and sometimes behind Uniior as well. Did a good cut, but we can have a better ghost here. Challenge.

    tetrationiscool (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/582991-tube-adeventure/r/tetrationiscool - Maybe without the deaths. Not now.

    TheMemeBiker (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/868985-nucleus/r/thememebiker - Beaten by HyperCube and RedOrBlue. HyperCube's ghost is cool, but I don't think any of the ghosts here are feature worthy.

    Totoca12 (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/50211-black-hat-rider-ce/r/totoca12 - Someone suggested it for me, but I'll just say that this shouldn't be feature. It has some deaths and mistakes, so although I'm pretty sure this ghost was really good 5+ years ago, it just doesn't match the standards anymore.

    Trikflip (2):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/872703-weeeee/r/trikflip - Nah. Too many slow mos.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/875189-gravity-challenge-2/r/trikflip - Track isn't that hard and the ghost is kinda short. No, unfortunately.

    Tubiek (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/424953-skatepark/r/tubiek - Good effort, but not there yet.

    Unghosted (6):

    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1077-3d-kitchen/r/ogunghosted - Cool ghost, but it doesn't seem wise to feature a ghost this old given today's standards. Should be a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/9674-ephemeral/r/unghosted - Maybe without the mistakes. Challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867947-big-line-4-3/r/unghosted - Beaten by Cerasium. Not that impressive anyways, since it's kinda short.

    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/866763-the-cave-2/r/unghosted - No feature. Symantec lead the whole time and let him win at the end. Maybe a challenge.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/869217-outpost/r/unghosted - Beaten by Symantec and RubeGoldberger, but I don't think any of the ghosts are feature worthy.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867293-squished/r/zoobered - This is hard, because I love ghosts that are visually appealing, like this one. It's really cool to watch, but it has some problems. That trick between 1.70 and 2.50 seconds made him lose a lot of time. Same for that brake flip at 10.70 seconds. Everything else was great, but the ghost seems beatable because of the small style choices in the first half. I feel like this should a challenge, so we see if people can actually beat this. Chaos-Fallen was ahead for a good portion of the track, so I feel like we can have improvements here.

    waddleshoes (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/574802-the-thunder-head/r/waddleshoes - Too short.

    Xenom (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/877024-hard-trial/r/xenom - Man, this is great. Major improvement from you. I feel like it's not crazy enough for an exception, but it deserves a major shoutout. Good stuff!

    xMichaelFTW (1):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/867252-underground-lab-escape/r/xmichaelftw - Not 1st place, too short.

    zachypacso (5):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/102678-gravity/r/zachypacso - Not 1st place and the first place ghost isn't good enough. Too much of smooth jumps.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/289619-cloud-hopper-2-descending-desc/r/zachypacso - Too short
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/283310-untitled/r/zachypacso - Too short, not 1st place.

    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/54445-dirt-jump-2/r/zachypacso - Track is too easy. Not good enough for us.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/875628-trick-park/r/zachypacso - Doesn't work neither as a fast ghost nor a trickghost.


    NEW FEATURES:

    RadiumRC (6):
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/863874-taiga-classic/r/theft - Brilliant ghost, way better than any other on the versions of this track. Feature for me.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/2282-longest-endo-ever-6/r/radiumrc - Great stuff. It starts alright, but it gets really good after the first few seconds. Some good stuff, feature.

    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/863005-auto/r/radium_rc - Nice one. Some crazy routing. Nicely done. Feature.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/862906-roast-me/r/radium_rc - Some solid tricks. Feature.
    https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/862338-chauvet/r/radium_rc - Pretty solid ghost, dominant from start to finish. Also, it was a track from a contest, so I feel like it was a pretty solid job by you. Feature.

Symantec also completed the track, so I feel like there was enough competition for a feature. So I think you deserve this one.
