List FRHD All-Time Top 100 Ghosters

FRHD ALL-TIME TOP GHOSTERS LIST 2023 EDITION

PART 1 OF 6

Here we go. Hello, guys. What's up? Well, first and foremost I would like to apologize on behalf of the Ghost Mod Team about the delay of the release of this list. We were supposed to release this around July 2023, but we got caught up on real life, several changes in the ghost mod team and stuff like that. Once we managed to get some stuff done, we focused on being consistent with the Ghosting Awards and with releasing the latest Official Featured Ghosts reviews , that we published like 2 months ago, especially since those help us make our top 100 picks fairly, so then we moved up to finish this. After we realized that we wouldn't be able to finish this on time at all, since we were like 30% done, we decided to change our methods and criteria for this in terms of the period of consideration for the achievements and impact the players had. We would usually consider what was done from July of the previous year up to June of the current year to make the list, but now we changed that so we wouldn't be that much behind. We finished the list and then we went back and made adjustments to match the new criteria. So for the 2023 list we took into consideration all achievements, awards, impact and skills shown since the release of FRHD back in 2013 up to the end of December of 2023. The idea for 2024 and beyond is to release this around January of each year, to always consider the latest full year on the new list as well. So there's 1 year and a half that was considered for the current list that wasn't considered for the 2022 list.

This is the 2023 edition and the team that made the list was composed of: Totoca12, Xenom,
Anonyymi, Eryp, Sidewalk, Cerulean, Cerasium, Calculus and NotVeryGood, with some help from Cork at the end as well.

This was hard to make and not everyone was available all the time, but we made sure to be really fair and get several lists and comments for the crucial placements and to always have a fair amount of us doing the lists and then everyone checking in from time to time, so we do think that this list is really close to the average list that could come from all of us. We started the list back on June 4th, 2023 and just finished it this week, so yeah, it was a journey.

Lots of things might be similar to previous lists on this list, but I'm pretty sure we had a fair amount of changes as well. Once again, we took several things in consideration, such as skills, awards, big contest performances, amount of big leaderboard placements, longevity, activity, impact, innovation, dominance over the years and lots of other things, so yeah, this isn't just a skill-based list.

Also, we know that there's no way everyone will agree with this 100%, that's why we assembled multiple great ghosters to try to make this as fair as possible, but yeah, for sure there will be some disagreements, but we tried to make a fair list once again.

Once again, I'll probably be adding the alts later when I add the list to the main post. Any questions about players that left the list let us know. If it's a question about someone not being in it when it comes to skill, just mention it if you REALLY think we totally missed someone, which could have happened. But we discussed about many ghosters, probably like 20 other players were considered at some point, so some of them were just not considered fit for this year's list. Some players weren't included due to cheating incidents, so any questions about that let us know as well.

So without further ado, I'll be posting the list below. This time I'll also be adding some commentary to the biggest changes and also the former placement of the user in the 2022's list, like I did last year. Another change as well is that I'll reveal the list in 6 posts with 25 players for this and the next 2 posts and then a post for 25th to 11th, another for 10th to 6th and a post for the top 5 like last year, but I'll go from the 100th to the 1st, to "build some suspense". It might take some time to write all of the posts, so I'll release them as I'm writing. Here it goes:

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

100 - pawflix - (New player on the list) - Literally the last addition to the list, we are seeing a great improvement from pawflix lately. He got a fair amount practice, having completing multiple tracks in the past few years. He's showing some good skills, lots of improvement since that promising 16th place in the ORG back in 2021. Deserved to get into the top 100 list. Let's see if he can climb some placements for next year.

99 - Cryogenic - (92nd place on last year's list) - For the ones that have been around long enough, they probably recognize that Cryogenic was one of the first ghosters to dominate the leaderboards in the early FRHD era. Yeah, the times have changed and the gameplay evolved a lot, so he got behind for sure, but even if it's the last time, we thought that he did enough to hang on to the top 100 list this year, especially since he did have a minor comeback a few months ago.

98 - xMichaelFTW - (94th place on last year's list) - This guy is a dope ghoster, you can see some skills on his ghosts and it isn't too rare to find him on leaderboards, so even though we didn't think he did much to improve his placement, we thought it was fair to still keep him in the top 100.

97 - Tubiek - (New player on the list) - We had some debates if we should include him or not, but we ended up deciding to add him to the list. He has held at least one featured ghost different times with like 3 different ghosts, he has been improving on his ghosting, but since some of these achievements were achieved earlier on this year, we weren't super sure about including him. However, he has been improving for quite a while now, so we decided to include him on this list, with hopes that a bigger improvement might be within reach for the next list.

96 - DizzyCircles - (86th place on last year's list) - Also known as SwitchKick, we didn't see much from him lately, so since we end up deciding on moving some people up and including some new players, he dropped a few placements. Still deserving on being on the list, though.

95 - Seasnails - (100th place on last year's list) - As pointed out by some team members, he made a good comeback with some solid ghosts, showing an improvement on his skills, so we decided to not only keep him on the list, but to also improve his placement a little bit.

94 - Asgardian - (90th place on last year's list) - Similar to DizzyCircles, the fellow brazilian player Asgardian didn't do too much to improve his placement. So with the adjustments, he dropped a few placements, but he still holds enough skill to be on the list.

93 - Pityboy - (85th place on last year's list) - Pretty similar case to Cryogenic here. Early FRHD legend, made a small comeback, dropped some placements here since some good new guys came, but still hanging on. Let's see how this next year will go for him.

92 - HyperWaffle - (88th place on last year's list) - Similar case as the one above. Due to some small changes on the team opinions probably related to skill, he finished above Pityboy this time, but it's the same idea.

91 - Eunos - (82nd place on last year's list) - He hasn't been quite active lately, so he dropped some placements with these newcomers to the list. Quoting my own comment during this process:

"Eunos always had lots of potential, he has a fair amount of skills and he showed a bit of it in the middle of the ORG 3 years ago and also a few times throughout the years, he's a solid ghoster, especially on offroad tracks, so despite him not reaching all of his potential he should still be in the list."

He also got a really cool 5th place on the GBC3, so yeah, this is someone with lots of potential.

90 - Ranger_X - (83rd place on last year's list) - Great ghoster, should still be on the list even though he hasn't been impactful lately. In the words of Xenom:

"Burned short and bright. He wasn't here very long, but he definitely got a lot of skill and deserves the list imo."

89 - ernest.chi.5 - (84th place on last year's list) - A great helicopter ghoster, no relevant changes to change his place too much.

88 - Asierro - (81st place on last year's list) - Not many relevant changes for him. Quoting myself:

"A fellow FR3 ghosting legend, an iconic ghoster. Top 4 on the first really major contest in the game (FRWC1) and lots of other stuff. An og ghosting legend. Should still make the top 100."

87 - Terilune - (78th place on last year's list) - Some guys might know him by his old username White_Panther, but this guy is for a sure a solid ghoster. Hasn't been quite active lately, but I guess we agreed that he should still be on the list.

86 - Ficus - (80th place on last year's list) - Not much changed for him, but he's a dope ghoster. Quoting myself:

"[...] There was a moment where the top 2 ghosters of this game were him and WrzodX without a doubt so someone that had an impact like that should still be in the list. And I think he was a non-spacebarrer. Crazy."

85 - Puffin - (New player on the list) - An interesting newcomer to the list. We didn't know too much about him but the ghosts we saw from him were pretty solid (and I feel like we found enough of them). Apparently he has been around for quite a few years, so maybe he's someone we should keep an eye on, especially if he makes a solid comeback. In the words of Xenom:

"Never heard of this guy before, and not a super active ghoster, but the ghosts I have seen from him are very high quality, so I think he deserves this placement."

84 - Acid_Bubble - (87th place on last year's list) - We thought that he should be around the 80s again, but we also thought that maybe we put him a bit low last time. He was the ghosting reference for a bit years ago, so yeah, we felt like this placement is more fitting for him. Quoting myself:

"I feel he like was a dominant ghoster for a bit and definitely a impactful ghoster [...]. I personally feel like moving him up a bit."

83 - Coated_Badger - (New player on the list) - A deserving addition to the list. He has been improving on multiple aspects of ghosting lately. He managed to improve on his last participations on big ghosting contests (9th place in the FRWC6 in 2022 and 12th place in the GBC4 in 2023), he held featured ghosts in at least 2 separate occasions, got at least 2 shoutouts on the ghosting awards lately, so yeah, we think he has now enough skill and achievements to be on this placement.

82 - Ethan.B - (79th place on last year's list) - Possibly the GOAT of mobile ghosting, we didn't think he should change his placement too much.

81 - xdeadgrim - (New player on the list) - Here's another newcomer. We have seen multiple dope ghosts from him in the past couple of years, as he has a fair amount of ghosts, with many of them being on leaderboards, so we thought that he had enough skill to be up here, even if his impact isn't as huge as some others.

80 - reaperch - (New player on the list) - Once again, a freshman on the list with lots of good ghosts in the database. Some quotes about him:

"I feel like I came across several good ghosts from him in the past couple of years, but we definitely missed putting him on the list. I feel like we might have considered him once, but I don't know, I feel like he's better than some guys below in the previous lists." - Totoca12

" He has been around for a while and hasn't necessarily improved a lot, but I feel like he's more skilled than some of the lower placements on the list" - Xenom

79 - Azgr00 - (New player on the list) - A.K.A. XGRAzgr, another fellow brazilian, he's showing some dope skills lately and some consistent ghosting, even getting a feature in the past few months. Quoting Xenom:

"This is a new name for most people in the last year, and although he's not as active as he was, hes been coming out with some great ghosts, think he deserves this placement."

78 - Kazman - (74th place on last year's list) - Honestly, no relevant changes to change his place too much. Dope ghoster, still on the top 80 for us.

77 - a_drain - (77th place on last year's list) - No relevant changes to change his place at all. Great ghoster.

76 - Kanvo - (75th place on last year's list) - No relevant changes to change his place too much. A techincal ghoster for sure.​

 

FRHD ALL-TIME TOP GHOSTERS LIST 2023 EDITION

PART 2 OF 6
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

75 - Kev1n - (72nd place on last year's list) - Nothing much changed for him, so he should stay around here. Cool ghoster, not very active lately.

74 - Apocolypse - (71st place on last year's list) - Same as above. Interesting ghoster, but not that active lately.

73 - TPlacella - (91st place on last year's list) - An iconic addition to the 2022's list, active community member TPlacella is back as the first player in the previous list to have a relevant upgrade on their placement for this year's list. Maybe not the top 70 he wanted, but close enough. Maybe on the next one. Some quotes:

"[...] He might not be as technical as Kanvo, but he's more consistent and one of the top non-spacebarrers in the game, managing to even match some good spacebarrers skills sometimes. I feel like he deserves an improvement. He received some shoutouts in the ghosting awards as well in a few months, so yeah, I feel like it's fair." - Totoca12

"He's one of the most relevant ghosters today, getting very consistent leaderboard times and staying above all other non spacebar competition" - Xenom

Personally I feel like the level of today's competition might downplay a little bit TPlacella's impact and skill, but he can in fact keep up with pretty much any non-spacebarrer ever and many spacebarrers. I feel like if he was at this level during the early FRHD era, the impact and dominance would be higher. Same would be true for RubeGoldberger, we_are_number_one and others. Still, nonetheless, a ghoster in constant progression, improved 18 placements, who knows where he can show up on the list next year?

72 - unspoken - (70th place on last year's list) - Not many players spent as much time in the Official Featured Ghosts list as unspoken did, until some time ago when he lost his last feature. One of the first players to be really technical and do well on relatively long trials, we think that even though he was definitely surpassed by many in skill and impact, that he still deserves a placement around the top 75 on the list.

71 - Skijumping - (69th place on last year's list) - A similar case as some other ogs, despite being famous for his cool tracks, Skijumping also had his time as one of the top ghosters of this game and even though he's not on top of the game right now, he still deserves a place here. He made some sort a comeback as well.

70 - KONSTRUKT - (68th place on last year's list) - Another great ghoster among the oldest ones around here. This guy finished 5th place in the iconic FRWC2 hosted by DblU in 2016 and definitely was a specialist on straight steep climbs. He set alongisde guys like RuanF and CR-1 an unique style of tracks that was crucial to help the climbing skills from FRHD players go higher and higher. Still deserves his placement here.

69 - Odala - (63rd place on last year's list) - A good offroad ghoster that got a couple features back in the day and isn't really that active anymore but that still deserves to be around these placements.

68 - RustyClarkson - (61st place on last year's list) - A guy with a huge amount of ghosts in the game, RustyClarkson had a super interesting 4th place in the FRWC3 back in 2019 and several good ghosts over the years, so I guess he deserves to be here still.

67 - notimus - (60th place on last year's list) - One of the most mysterious players in the list, the ghosts found from him are pretty much always of great quality. Nothing much changed from him, though. So he stays around here on the list.

66 - Paceway - (59th place on last year's list) - Also known as imbetterthanyo, it's not too hard to find his ghosts around the game. He definitely has the skill to be at this point of the list.

65 - Catalyst - (57th place on last year's list) - Great ghoster, should still be on the list even though he hasn't been too active lately.

64 - FreeLander2 - (66th place on last year's list) - A great og ghoster, had some sort of comeback with some cool suggestions in the official featured ghosts thread, he is a guy that had a couple featured ghosts a few times, so we felt like he deserved a slight improvement. He always come up with some cool cuts and clever routes, so there's some extra points for him right there.

63 - Duper - (New player on the list) - Here we meet our best placed freshman! Duper has shown some solid level of ghosting lately, which even earned him an 11th placement on GBC4, 2 participations in the ghosting awards (1 being in 2024), 3 featured ghosts and many more cool things. We think that the achievements he managed to get up to the end of last year, alongside his level of skill, are good enough to put him at this placement, even though his actual potential is way higher. Let's see where we'll find him on the next list. Keep it up, man!

62 - Inversely - (58th place on last year's list) - A great ghoster for sure, but not much changed for him to change his placement too much.

61 - ReFleTz - (56th place on last year's list) - Not the most active ghoster ever, but a very skilled one. Not much happened to change his placement, though.

60 - WrzodX - (65th place on last year's list) - Not many players can say that they were the best ghoster on FRHD once, WrzodX can. A fellow FR3 top ghoster that made his transition to FRHD, in the early era this guy not just kept up with the spacebarrers, but he was actually better than them. I was there to confirm, haha. The 2 first relevant ghosting contests on this game were won by WrzodX in high fashion, getting 1st place on all rounds in both competitions. Not just that, but whenever the bigger contests arrived with the FRWC and the game was starting to be dominated by spacebarrers like Noob, WrzodX still managed to get 2nd place in the contest, beating great ghosters like Minus (Eryp) and Asierro in the process and only losing to Noob in the final by like 0.1 second. He still is present in several leaderboards and he made a small comeback during the FRWC6 in 2022, where he finished in a respectable 18th place in a contest with 53 ghosters. He finished between Chaos-Fallen and adversitas, above guys like TPlacella, RubeGoldberger and Cerulean, for example. Not bad. That's why after further review, we decided to move him up a little bit.

59 - we_are_number_one - (64th place on last year's list) - As I mentioned on TPlacella's part, we_are_number_one is one of those guys that might have their impact, especially among the non-spacebarrers, downplayed by today's standards on ghosting. It's not easy on this era to get a single feature being a non-spacebarrer, peaking at 2 features then, especially after having both featured ghosts battles being against the legend RedOrBlue for the most part, is not an easy deal. And we_are_number_one did that for several years, being a serious threat, especially on specific popular tracks like 2012. So after some debates, we decided to move him up a little bit on the list.

58 - FunBunOne - (55th place on last year's list) - Great ghoster, one of the first to really start to do tubes well, he still deserves to be around here.

57 - FoxGamingTM - (54th place on last year's list) - Similar to FunBunOne in the sense that he's a great ghoster that still should be around here. We saw a few new ghosts from him here and there, so yeah, still deserving of being here.

56 - Klrill - (67th place on last year's list) - A.K.A. KZabrikov, A.K.A. piski? A.K.A. erikeriksson2001? We have a fair amount of accounts that we are 99% sure that are linked to the same person and we navigated the "unverified ghoster" route several times at this point, so we decided that the IP matches alongside some additional information we found are enough for us to make this ghoster verified and to put all of his achievements under only one account. You can see this guy everywhere, in several leaderboards with his multiple accounts, he even got featured ghosts a few times, so he definitely deserves to be here.

55 - RuanF - (49th place on last year's list) - A very skilled ghoster that followed KONSTRUKT's footsteps, RuanF ended up going even further on his ghosting career after that 6th place in the FRWC2. Nothing much happened to change his placement too much, but he still deserves to be in the middle of the list.

54 - TheMemeBiker - (71st place on last year's list) - TheMemeBiker definitely is not a meme right now when it comes to ghosting. He started getting recognition after that solid 8th place in the ORG back in 2021, but since then he has been improving each year, showcasing great skills. Since the previous list he was able to hold a featured ghost for a bit, he got among the top 3 ghosters of the month once and has shown many great ghosts every now and then. Good stuff, man. A very deserving upgrade. Some quotes about him:

"Since the middle of last year [2022] he improved a lot in the game. He battled for features even keeping one for a bit, got shoutouts in the ghosting awards and even got top 3 in July 2023 [...]. Fair improvement on results and skills, deserves to climb the rankings." - Totoca12

"Honestly this guy surprised me a lot with the ghosting battle he faced me in. He stole the same feature almost 5 times in the span of a few weeks, seemingly without too much effort. Even though he's not super active, I feel like he deserves this placement" - Xenom

53 - Pie42 - (48th place on last year's list) - Honestly, no relevant changes to change his place too much. Dope ghoster, still on the middle of the list for us. A guy that held features once and has a consistent presence in contests (FRWC3 - 12th place, FRWC4 - 12th place, FRWC5 - 13th place, ORG - 15th place, EOST - 11th place, GBC1 - 15th place, GBC3 - 13th place). Still should be here.

52 - RubeGoldberger - (52nd place on last year's list) - No relevant changes to change his place at all. A non-spacerring legend. In terms of skill among the non-spacebarrers, he has a shot on being the best to ever do it. Managed to get a feature once, many dope suggestions and had legendary performances in the ORG (7th place) and EOST (9th place).

51 - CHARREDLIZARD21 - (50th place on last year's list) - No relevant changes to change his place too much. Quoting myself:

"Not that much changed, but he still comes once in a while with some cool ghosts, still has a couple of features and might still be the blob king. He was a bit more active in terms of relevant ghosts [compared to others around this placement]"

He also had a peak of 6 features and some cool contest participations for sure, with the GBC4 and FRWC6 being during the period of consideration for this update, so he deserves to be here. Some of them:

GBC3 - 7th Place
ORG - 9th Place
EOST - 6th Place
FRWC6 - 12th Place
GBC4 - 9th Place

PS: Needed to do some stuff between the posts, so I'll come back with the second half of the list tomorrow

FRHD ALL-TIME TOP GHOSTERS LIST 2023 EDITION

PART 3 OF 6
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

50 - Rippedmagnet - (53rd place on last year's list) - When we released the previous list, I believe Rippedmagnet had like 2 features. He not only kept those but he has now 4, one of them that was good enough to earn him Ghost Of The Month in January of last year. Yeah, he hasn't been crazy active lately, but he's without a doubt one of most technical helicopter ghosters ever in this game, and he also improved his "bike ghosting" a lot. Deserving spot in the top 50.

49 - DblU - (47th place on last year's list) - Some might think that he's the GOAT of non-spacebarrers, but even if you disagree, it's undeniable his impact and achievements over the years. He's one of the guys that pushed the ghosting community further creating the iconic Free Rider World Cup contest, that I was able to help keeping it alive later, but what is impressive is how competitive he could get on long tracks even though he was a non-spacebarrer. His iconic Magnum Opus ghost is a testament of that. He pushed the boundaries so much for non-spacebarrers that he was one of the main reasons we created the Other category for featured ghosts. He kept the Magnum Opus feature for years and then was beaten by the great spacebarrer Chaos-Fallen. In an iconic moment he actually stole the feature back by half a second until eventually being beaten by Stevie.T (that later was beaten by Egway). But that non-spacebarred ghost was so iconic that we had to keep it featured, alongisde some other non-traditional ghosts, like Noob's ghost on 3D Bathroom for example. In an era already dominated by spacebarrers, DblU reached a peak of 4 features, the all-time record for a non-spacebarrer. He also got a solid 10th place in the FRWC3, which was no small deal back then. So even though guys like RubeGoldberger, we_are_number_one and TPlacella might have matched his skill level or maybe even surpassed, the impact DblU caused is enough for him to still be in the top 50.

48 - darksmoke11 - (44th place on last year's list) - After the biggest ghosting names from BHR started migrating to FRHD, darksmoke11, definitely a legend there came to FRHD following the footsteps of Noob, Backtwice and mR..A. Maybe he wasn't as impactful as the others were on FRHD or as himself was on BHR, but still had his moment here, showing incredible skills, getting a couple of features and an iconic 3rd place medal in the og FRWC2. Still deserves the top 50.

47 - isekeb - (45th place on last year's list) - Previously knwon as F-O-X, he's a super technical ghoster, author of one of the best trickghosts on this game in my opinion, got a peak of 3 features, a decent 9th place in the GBC3 and several good ghosts in the database. Deserves to be here still.

46 - clockwe2 - (43rd place on last year's list) - Great ghoster with lots of good ghosts in the database, not hard to find him around. Nothing much changed for him for us to change his placement too much.

45 - Arroww - (39th place on last year's list) - Really technical ghoster that got a couple features here and there during his time on the game, but that has shown some good skills over the years in many other ghosts. We think he should be around this placement.

44 - Eryp - (42nd place on last year's list) - A great ghoster overall, fellow forum admin Eryp started his ghosting career as the extremely active Minus, present in several leaderboards and later created another account named Eryp, where he became more famous for his trackmaking feats, but still managed to do some good stuff in ghosting, like having a peak of 5 features, enough to get the Recognized Ghoster medal and also having some cool participations in contests like on GBC3, where he finished 9th and on the iconic FRWC1 all the way back in 2015, where he did great in the qualifiers and then got top 3 in the first round, but was defeated by the eventually runner-up WrzodX in a legendary duel decided by 0.03 second if I’m not mistaken. This is still a fair placement for him.

43 - Setsu - (95th place on last year's list) - A guy that we usually would put at the bottom of the list, this player had one of the biggest improvements from someone in the previous list, if not the biggest. He was known as Pandagaming01 and was a decent ghoster, relatively consistent and not that hard to find on leaderboards, but after the name change the guy became a totally different beast. Even though he only held 2 features at most so far (it's what he has now), this guy has shown an elite level of skills, especially on technical trials, being really hard to match even for some of our top 10 ghosters in certain tracks. After the previous list, he finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month once, got a couple of features and had a crazy 4th place finish in the FRWC6, only behind ghosting legends Cerasium, RadiumRC and Xenom.

42 - Synchronized - (36th place on last year's list) - We all have seen him on the leaderboards. Very consistent, solid offroad skills, very deserving to be here.

41 - Rhodium - (41st place on last year's list) - We felt like we didn't have much reason to change his placement. A great ghoster, especially on offroad tracks in an era where it was getting hard to get features on that realm, but he still managed to peak around 4 features. Solid ghoster for sure.

40 - adversitas - (38th place on last year's list) - Not that many players can say that they were the first to complete multiple iconic tough tracks. This guy can. First to ever complete Movie Mania CCE and the CCE leboulanger track (his ghost was deleted after he deleted his old account, though), this guy was the one that proved people wrong. And if we extend it to one of the first to complete iconic tracks, we can add 3D Skatepark and 3D Bathroom as well, alongside many other tracks. Formerly known as crazywizard_13 this guy was one of the first ghost mods to succeed mR..A, after myself and Whisk started the new era, and although he might not have been the most consistent ghoster over the years, he's definitely a guy that could stir the pot and do something magnificent from time to time. Deserves to be here.

39 - BrendanMagill - (46th place on last year's list) - A great ghoster, BrendanMagill has shown multiple times why he should be in the top 40. With a peak of 8 features, some great performances in contests like on FRWC3 (7th place - only player to win a round besides Anonyymi and RedOrBlue) and FRWC4 (5th place) and with 2 ghosting awards participations since the previous list (2nd and 3rd on the Ghoster Of The Month award), since he made a solid comeback, Brendan is still showing some improvements after all these years, so we think he should move up a little bit.

38 - Calculus - (35th place on last year's list) - With more of a technical background on ghosting, Calculus, another fellow forum admin, showed that he has indeed a complete bag of skills when he got a 2nd place in the very competitive FRWC4, beating me, Cork and BrendanMagill in the knockout stages on his road to the final, where he had a respectable defeat against the legendary Anonyymi. He had a peak of around 5 or 6 features, so yeah, I feel like this placement is fair for him.

37 - Whisk - (34th place on last year's list) - Another technical ghoster that was formely a ghost mod, Whisk has shown so much skill over the years. He personally was a guy that got great featured ghosts on some of my tracks, like his great ghost on Trapped 3 that stood for years and also our duel on Insane Climb 2 that lasted for many years. Both cases ended up being beaten by Xenom, but well, that's not unusual. Still, a very skilled ghoster that peaked around 2-4 features but that still did enough in our opinion to deserve this placement.

36 - TuttiFruity - (33rd place on last year's list) - An offroad pro, TuttiFruity has shown multiple times that he can compete with most top ghosters in almost every track whenever he puts his mind to it, so we felt like this player that had around a 5-7 features as his peak deserved to be around here.

35 - Skatitall - (32nd place on last year's list) - Almost as technically refined as his brother Ninjasparkour, Skatitall is insanely skilled, enough for us to decide that it was fair for him to get this placement even though his impact wasn't crazy huge. Don't get me wrong, he's on many leaderboards, including some very iconic tracks and he got a few features over the years, but he had potential to do way more and be even higher on the list, but since he didn't achieve as much, we felt like this placement was fair.

34 - Slayed - (30th place on last year's list) - One of the pioneers of excellent tube ghosting, this guy have had a few features over the years and is still on the official featured ghosts list, had some decent ghosting contest participations as well (11th on GBC1, 8th on GBC2 and 6th on GBC3), so yeah, still deserving of being here.

33 - Totoca12 - (29th place on last year's list) - Well, what can I say? The team agreed that this was a fair placement to let me stay. I have a peak of 7 features, which made me get the Recognized Ghoster medal, being on the list since the beginning in 2016 and even in the old one, I was someone that would try to push the completions of some hard tracks back in the day like Unforgiving, Movie Mania CCE, Insane Climb 2 and a few other tracks. Also, I have a long history on ghosting contests (3rd and 2nd in the og speedy_XD's contests that WrzodX won, 3rd on FRWC1, 4th on FRWC2, 5th on FRWC3, 11th on FRWC4, 15th on FRWC5, 8th on FRWC6, 14th on GBC1, 6th on GBC2, 3rd on GBC3, 15th on GBC4, 2nd on ORG and 4th on EOST, not counting other minor old contests), so I feel like it was a fair placement. On that 2013-2016 era it wasn’t absurd to consider me around the top 10 or even top 5 ghosters, so even though I’m not super active on ghosting lately, the team considered this a fair placement. I also have had a feature on all 4 main categories at some point and I was actually the first player to ever have a vehicle featured ghost, which seems unthinkable now, but yeah, definitely had some moments in the FRHD history. Seems like a fair placement.

32 - AndrewVaughn3 - (24th place on last year's list) - Some might know him by AndrewVaughn3, but you might also know him by Synapse, Sarcast or maybe even Redemption (if you are familiar with BHR). A player with many names, but a consistent set of skills on different kinds of tracks. He had a peak around 6-7 features and had one ghosting contest participation, securing a decent 11th on FRWC2 in 2016. We like him and think he is a top 40 ghoster on this game, but we thought that considering solely his FRHD history, maybe he was slightly high on the previous list. Still, a very solid ghoster.

31 - Cork - (40th place on last year's list) – This is an interesting situation because when we reviewed Cork’s achievements to consider his placement on the list, we were still aiming to consider everything only up to June 2023, so we put him in 38th, a small improvement from the previous list. However, since that deadline, Cork improved his ghosting skills considerably, being more consistent on super technical ghosts, especially steep straight climbs and trials, which made him more able to fight for some tough featured ghosts. Even if he lost many of those battles, he still holds 2 good featured ghosts, has produced several good ghosts recently, with some still in contention for possible future features, and he also got among the top 3 ghosters of the month twice last year. A solid improvement without a doubt. And all of this considering that he also has some history in ghosting contests (FRWC3 – 8th, FRWC4 – 7th, FRWC6 - 11th, for example). A deserving upgrade for him.

30 - NotVeryGood- (26th place on last year's list) – One of the most deceiving usernames in the database, a good contender for Noob, NotVeryGood is indeed very good. I guess most people know this about this fellow Ghost Mod, but for those who don’t, this guy is actually the user behind the Campaigned and Popularized accounts, that you can see around countless campaign tracks and other popular tracks in general, as their names suggest. An off-road and smooth jumps pro, and a solid ghoster on mostly everything else, NotVeryGood is the guy that has to be high on this list, given his impact on several popular tracks. He also was on the iconic FRWC1 where he did beat spruce but came short on the battle against Asierro later. Crazy times! He also got a few features over the years, so this is a fitting placement for him.

29 - Resurrect - (25th place on last year's list) – One of the off-road legends of this game with a great technical background on trials and some trickghosting skills, Resurrect has the skills to have gone even further on this list. I guess that he didn’t really reach his full potential or that at least he didn’t hold himself at that level long enough to cause a bigger impact, but still, he was one of the only ones that could challenge Sidewalk during his dominant era years ago and he also managed to have some decent ghosts during “Anonyymi’s era” as well, reaching a peak of 4 features. Still deserving to be here.

28 - Silver_bird7 - (27th place on last year's list) – A guy with a great amount of ghosts in the game, so you probably have seen him around on some leaderboards, it took us some time to really see the skilled ghoster he became. That became clear on his nearly unbeatable campaign on the ORG in 2021. The contest was going fine but had stalled a bit, but then Silver_bird7 and RadiumRC entered late setting the contest on fire. Silver_bird7 simply buried every competitor he faced for 17 straight weeks, including a legendary win over RadiumRC, but ended up losing the Bronze Medal after ghosting 16 minutes late and having his “win” over DrChill invalidated. Still, totally a force to be reckoned with whenever he puts his mind to it. After the contest he ended up getting a few features, holding 2 at most, got a top 3 placement on the Ghoster Of The Month award and had some other good ghosts, especially on his alt “derivative”. Deserves to still be here.

27 - Zycerak - (22nd place on last year's list) – Zycerak might have had one of the most unique paths towards the Legendary Ghoster medal. One of the most epic ghosters when it comes to auto cuts, Zycerak was clearly way ahead of his time on that category. Being excellent at something when your opponents and judges are at the most good was a big factor that pushed him to get the Auto Cuts crown for a while. Still, it took several years for people to start to replicate and surpass what he was doing, so he totally gets points for being some sort of pioneer and innovator on that category, while still being a solid off-road ghoster and pretty decent at everything else. He peaked around 20 features, which is no small deal, he was the first to reach 10 auto cut features, he was one of the pioneers on some tough tracks, like 3D Skatepark, he has one top 3 participation in the Ghoster Of The Month award, a few decent ghosting contest performances (11th on FRWC3, 9th on GBC3 and also had a legendary performance on the group stage of FRWC5), so he deserves to be here.

26 - DrChill - (20th place on last year's list) – Another ghoster that has some solid tracks as well, DrChill slowly grew into a very respectable ghoster from the community. He peaked at 8 features, which is not easy given that he started in a stacked era for off-road ghosters, he finished 2 times among the top 3 ghosters of the month, he still has a cool trickghost feature and he also has a super respectable ghosting contest resumé:

GBC2 – 7th Place
FRWC5 – 7th Place
GBC3 - 4th Place
ORG – 3rd Place
EOST – 2nd Place
GBC4 - 6th Place (nice recent result)

If it’s an important moment, DrChill will be there with his A-Game. During the ORG, besides the legends RedOrBlue, Cerasium and RadiumRC the only other player that got an overall win (1st place on the track) was DrChill, and one of those wins was on a 1v1v1v1 direct match against me, RedOrBlue and Cerasium, and DrChill came out on top. Never doubt this guy. We moved some people up, made some adjustments and the team also changed a bit so since the previous list he ended up dropping some placements since the top 30 is super competitive, but this guy is definitely someone that deserves to be here.

PS: Sorry for the delay. Had some issues with my computer so I had to finish this one on my phone, lol. RIP. The top 25 will be out as soon as I can, but no exact predictions right now.

FRHD ALL-TIME TOP GHOSTERS LIST 2023 EDITION

PART 4 OF 6
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

25 - Unknown-Rider - (21st place on last year's list) - One of those mysterious ghosters for sure. The guy came in, dominated for a bit, showed a new level of technical skills, being solid at pretty much everything (master at tubes, superb on climbs, great on off-road tracks, solid on trials), this guy deserves to be here. Could have had more impact? Yes. But someone as skilled as Unknown-Rider (aka Electricity, aka TwiceBack) can't be missing on these top placements. This guy reached a peak around 11-12 features, getting the Pro Ghoster medal, he got a 2nd place in the Ghoster Of The Month award in the very first edition back in October 2020 after a crazy duel with Chaos-Fallen and then vanished, haha. But still a very solid ghoster that shined really bright on this game, even if it wasn't for that long.

24 - Egway - (51st place on last year's list) - Now it's time for a very cool addition to the top 25. A guy that I think that still is a bit underrated among the ghosting community. Since the previous list Egway has been on a grind! Even though he slowed down a bit now, the man put in the work needed to put him in the path of greatness and achieved a lot since the 2022's list. He added some features (and most importantly, kept many that he had), he finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month 4 more times, which adds up to 7 total times now (4th with most participations all-time, just behind Cerasium, Xenom and RadiumRC). Among those 7 participations, he actually secured 2 wins, which is no small deal. In addition to that, he also has a Ghost Of The Month award from his now iconic ghost on Magnum Opus from last year. In 2022, he was the 2nd with the most top 3 ghoster of the month participations, tied with Anonyymi with 5 participations, only behind RadiumRC with 8. The man peaked at 16 features, which granted him the Pro Ghoster medal, and he is still keeping 12, being the 2nd player with the most vehicle featured ghosts (with 8 features, 1 more than Madara [!!!], just behind Ultraviolet). This guy is also a very versatile ghoster, being solid on long jump tracks, but also being able to do trickghosts, featured ghosts with different vehicles and also being decent on other kinds of ghosts. He actually held at some point features in all 4 main categories simultaneously, a feat that only 5 players managed to achieve ever and he is still keeping features on 3 of those. Really deserved upgrade.

23 - Uniior - (37th place on last year's list) - Another cool addition to the top 25, Uniior has become a serious threat when it comes to ghosting. Usually he would silently do some good ghosts here and there, especially with the helicopter, but step by step this guy has been developing his skills and becoming not only one of the best helicopter ghosters ever, but also a really solid ghoster with the bike as well. Since the previous list Uniior finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month 2 more times, having 4 participations now. A Pro Ghoster medal winner, Uniior has a peak of 12 features held, but even though Ultraviolet's legendary comeback last year caused him some damage, he still has 7 features under his name. Also, it's easy to find him around leaderboards with solid ghosts, so yeah, this guy improved a lot in the past few years. He also has a few solid performances in ghosting contests, such as in the GBC4 (4th Place) and the FRWC6 (6th Place), both happening after the release of the previous list. He also had some other cool participations such as in the GBC3 (5th Place), FRWC5 (12th Place), FRWC4 (15th Place) and GBC2 (12th Place). A really solid ghoster that deserved to climb some ranks in the list.

22 - Stevie.T - (19th place on last year's list) - A ghosting contest pro and a very versatile ghoster, this guy knows how to put up some solid performances whenever it's important. With a superb ghosting contest resumé, a peak of 9 features and with some shoutouts in the ghosting awards over the years and actually with a Ghost Of The Month win once, Stevie.T definitely suits this section of the list. Still holding features on 3 categories, he's another one of the 5 players that have had features in all 4 main categories simultaneously. He can do well with the bike in random tracks, popular tracks, contest tracks, he can do auto cuts well, he can use the vehicles properly and even do some trickghosting. A complete ghoster. But since we mentioned, let's talk about his ghosting contest resumé:

GBC1 - 11th Place
GBC2 - 3rd Place
GBC3 - 2nd Place
FRWC3 - 3rd Place
FRWC5 - 8th Place (After being top 3 overall in the Group Stage, knocking Cerasium to the Losers Championship)
FRWC6 - 16th Place (But he actually made it all the way to the Quarterfinals, but he got inactive in the Losers Championship after losing to RadiumRC)

Very solid player. Deserves to be here.

21 - mudkip - (18th place on last year's list) - Another veteran on FRHD, mudkip has one of the most remarkable achievements in the game, haha. Champion of the Free Rider World Cup 5, mudkip was the one to end the legendary Finnish Dynasty in the Free Rider World Cup, after the first 4 editions being won by players from Finland (Noob, Backtwice and Anonyymi [2x]). And it was no easy feat. Against all the odds, Backtwice came back from retirement and actually made it to the final after thrilling wins against DrChill and Cerulean, but ended up not being able to get a good ghost on the final track, so mudkip took a very deserving W. Not many players can say that they have medals from trackmaking contests and ghosting contests, but mudkip is definitely one of these players, that besides having this ghosting contest win also has 3 other trackmaking contest medals. A real medal collector for sure. But we also need to mention that besides the contest participations, mudkip also showed remarkable skills on trials and tube tracks over the years, being considered one of the best "tubers" of the game. I feel like it's fair to say that mudkip also does really well on off-road tracks and pretty much on anything else. Aside from all of that, mudkip is also a winner of a Ghoster Of The Month award, so yeah, a very prestigious name in the ghosting community. Deserves to be here.

20 - Reborn - (28th place on last year's list) - A new addition to the top 25 is the not that new ghoster Reborn, a.k.a. the Best Ghost of 2021 and 2022. Even though there's some memes around regarding Reborn, especially when it comes to the FRHD Awards, he's actually a quite a good ghoster that did improve in some aspects since the previous list. Since the 2022's list, Reborn actually finished among the top 3 Ghosters Of The Month 3 different times (he never had done it before), with 1 win, and he actually won the Ghost Of The Month award 2 times as well, and received other shoutouts for both awards over the last couple of years. During this period he also reached his peak of features of 5 features, which made him finally get the Recognized Ghoster medal. On top of that, he put on a legendary fight on the Free Rider World Cup 6, being a tough opponent to beat from beginning to end, finishing in 5th Place. In that remarkable run, Reborn beat players like RubeGoldberger, Sidewalk, adversitas and Uniior and put up a solid fight against RadiumRC in the Semifinals and then also against Xenom and Setsu in the 3rd Place match. Also, even though guys like Xenom are coming for nearly all features that are there to get, Reborn is still managing to hold 2 features so far. A consistent guy that can actually compete in a crazy level on off-road tracks, trials and even with some vehicles, we thought that his 5 ghosting award wins (or participations), his new peak of 5 features, his 5th Place in the FRWC6 and his overall impact with other ghosts in the database were enough for a little upgrade here. Congrats!

19 - Ultraviolet - (23rd place on last year's list) - When we first included Ultraviolet on this new list he hadn't made his comeback yet so we agreed to drop him to the 26th placement, but oh well, how things have changed since then, haha. This was one of the main things I asked for us to adjust when we finished the list because it didn't feel fair anymore. Even though his comeback was kinda short, it was so productive and impactful that we had to move him up. Ultraviolet was once the tube ghosts king and the helicopter ghosts king but it seemed like he passed those torches up years ago. The tube one might have had to Cerulean and the helicopter one was definitely to Madara that became the GOAT of helicopter ghosting, which was something debated on that legendary duel of both heli legends on FRWC4 like 4 years ago. It seemed that we have seen it all. Ultraviolet was the og legend but Madara took the crown and cemented himself as the greatest of all-time in that category. Yeah, many technical heli ghosters showed up like Rippedmagnet, Uniior, RadiumRC and Egway, but none of them kept up with the volume and impact that Madara had. But in the time span of like 2 months, Ultraviolet put all of this in check when he came back out of nowhere, got like 15 new features, mostly being stolen features from Madara with a crazy high skill level, took the vehicle featured ghosts crown, surpassing Madara as the one with the most features in that category for the first time in like 5-6 years. Ultraviolet reached a new peak of features, reaching 18, a crazy number. He has 17 vehicle featured ghosts, which now holds him up by a big margin over Egway (8) and Madara (7) in that category. He got the Pro Ghoster Medal and he actually also got a fast ghost feature on a tube track, showing that he can still compete at the highest level of both styles of tracks. He got a participation among the top 3 ghosters the month as well and almost got 2, but he ended up being great during 2 big ghosting contest months, so it was tough to include him on both, but in the one he didn't get in he got a really major shoutout. He started well on the GBC4, with 2 top 5 performances, but ended up getting busy and ended up only being able to get 13th, after not ghosting multiple rounds. Pretty similar to what happened to him on FRWC3, where he had 3 solid rounds and then got busy and left, finishing in the 21st placement. He finished 6th on FRWC4 and 5th on GBC2, though. So he can be competitive on contests, besides being a solid trial ghoster, tube ghoster, heli ghoster and off-road ghoster. What a legend! He had to be pushed into the top 20!

18 - HyperCube - (17th place on last year's list) - For many years HyperCube was labeled like the best FRHD player to never get a featured ghost. He was the king of short tracks, a phenomenon on off-road tracks and pretty much solid on everything else, but maybe his slightly disconnected state to the forum community and his preference for short track leaderboards were big factors on why it took him some time to finally get a featured ghost. However, it was never a big problem for us, since we do see him in the leaderboards really often, having a solid impact in countless tracks, including some very popular ones. But it was also cool to see him finally getting a featured ghost in these past few years, one that he is still keeping, and it was also cool to see him getting among the top 3 Ghosters Of The Month twice since the previous list and to actually see him doing well on a ghosting contest, with a 7th Place on GBC4. The guy can still keep up with today's standards, so after everything he achieved, we decided that we shouldn't change his placement too much. He did enough to still deserve his spot among the top 20.

17 - Unghosted - (15th place on last year's list) - Another ghoster that has been around for several years, Unghosted was a bit inactive for a couple of years before doing some great comebacks around 2022-2023, showing that he can still compete at the highest level. During the "Sidewalk era", Unghosted was one of the few players that could still compete for the top spots and give Sidewalk a run for his money, alongside guys like Resurrect and spruce. But after his return, Unghosted proved that he's still improving up to this day and that he has the skill to be around the top 20 for all FRHD eras. We started the Ghosting Awards in October 2020, maybe a few years after Unghosted's golden era, but after his return he showed everyone that he still got it and finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month a total of 5 times, all of them being in 2022 and 2023, winning 2 out of those 5. 3 of these participations and 1 of those wins were achieved after the release of last year's list, so he kept being a strong contender to finish among the top 20 again. He got some features since the last list, but being mostly an off-road ghoster in this game is tough, since the optimization on that kind of tracks is legendary now, so he ended up losing most of his features, still hanging on to the list with 1 feature. Still, he had some impactful months and showed that he still can compete with the best of the best, because he's one of them. He had a peak of 7 features and he might not have been the most active in ghosting contests, but even though many players are evolving, Unghosted still deserves his placement on the top 20.

16 - Chaos-Fallen - (14th place on last year's list) - A very solid ghoster throughout the years, Chaos-Fallen deserves his placement around the best of the best. Legendary Ghoster medal winner, Chaos-Fallen had a peak of 21 features, which is no easy feat, especially being mostly an off-road type of ghoster. Chaos-Fallen also had 4 participations among the top 3 ghosters of the month over the years, with 1 win. But it was no ordinary win, he won the very first edition of the Ghoster Of The Month award back in October 2020, so yeah, he already made history from the start of that thread, haha. He also won the Ghost Of The Month award once, on the second edition of the Ghosting Awards. Not bad. He is also no strange to Ghosting Contests, having some very solid performances over the years, so check his achievements on those throughout the years, since he's one of the most consistent players on that regard:

FRWC5 - 4th Place
FRWC6 - 17th Place
GBC1 - 3rd Place
GBC2 - 4th Place
GBC3 - 4th Place
GBC4 - 8th Place
ORG - 11th Place
EOST - 8th Place

15 - Noob - (13th place on last year's list) - Some of the new guys might not understand why Noob is placed as high as he is on this list, but let's try to explain it. This guy might have been the single first player to show FRHD what top-notch ghosting is. I remember the repercussions and comments when he arrived on FRHD as F1N, after already being a BHR legend as Fin Riders. The guy had the reputation and skills to become the FRHD goat at the time in a short notice and that was exactly what happened. I remember seen some ghosts from him and being like "Yeah, I have never seen such a level of ghosting either on FR3 or FRHD". Because yeah, on CR or BHR it wasn't hard to see things like that due to the checkpoint system, but this wasn't what we were used to see on FRHD. I guess that came from the fact that at the time the FRHD top ghosters were either non-spacebarrers like WrzodX and Ficus or players that were starting to get decent at spacebarring like me. Noob came in with a refined and optimized spacebarring ghosting that took the ghosting community by storm and revolutionized everything on the ghosting scene. Yeah, we saw Backtwice and mR..A coming to FRHD after that and helping with the change, but yeah, Noob's arrival was crucial to the evolution of the FRHD players in ghosting. His first big stage to shine was the FRWC1 hosted by DblU in 2015 and he didn't disappoint, beating the goat of that era WrzodX in the final and securing the win that would start the Finnish Dynasty. He was untouchable for the whole year of 2015 and for a fair bit of 2016, until Backtwice came, but he was a top 3 ghoster on this game for some years for sure. His iconic ghost on 3D Bathroom pretty much founded the original Featured Ghosts thread, so yeah, this guy is a legend. He had a confirmed peak of 9 features in an era that the total amount of featured ghosts were like 30 ghosts, he won the FRWC1 and got second on the FRWC2 and if we had ghosting awards since 2015 at least, you best believe that this guy would have 10+ wins. The guy that changed the game and got several iconic ghosts might be dropping some placements in the list, but if we are talking about all-time ghosters on this list, we can't forget to include him in the top 20. He's the guy that pretty much by himself nearly a decade ago made the ghosting scene evolve from amateur or semi-pro, to some pro levels of ghosting.

14 - spruce - (16th place on last year's list) - spruce, Coolman2, AIice, dumptruck... No matter the FRHD era you are from, I'm sure you have seen this guy under one of these names over the years. Spruce is one of the most decorated players of this game being a remarkable trackmaker and ghoster, so he for sure deserves to be here. Having being around for like a decade now, spruce has a peak of 9 features, he has finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month 3 different times, with 2 of these being after the release of the previous top 100 list. Also, despite many knowing him from his solid trackmaking background, being the winner of the Official Trackmaking Contest back in 2016, being a VIP and for having the Top Trackmaker medal for reaching 5 featured tracks, spruce also has done good stuff in the ghosting scene, having won the Recognized Ghoster medal (for 5 features held, but he almost got the Pro Ghoster one that is for 10) and having finished 2nd Place on the GBC4 last year, surpassing the host Xenom, only falling behind Cerasium. He also got 10th Place on FRWC5 and FRWC4, 9th all the way back on the FRWC2, he joined the og FRWC1 as well, so yeah, he has lots of experience on ghosting contests. He did well in some old ghosting contests that ended up flopping like the FRHD Competitive, FRHD Team Race and the NFRL, where he was on my team and we were killing on it, haha, until it flopped (team kinda OP btw, with him, me, Rhodium and Zycerak on an era that most there weren't super well-known), so he could have even more achievements if more contests actually finished whenever he was the most active back in the day. Still, a very dope ghoster. We thought that he improved on his skills on these past few years and since he did manage to get some new achievements as well, we decided to move him up a couple of placements. Good one, spruce!

13 - Ninjasparkour - (12th place on last year's list) - During his peak, this guy was totally a force to be reckoned with. One of most skilled ghosters to ever touch this game, Ninjasparkour was one of the youngest FRHD stars we have ever had. If I'm not mistaken, even tough he totally vanished a couple years ago for good he only would be around 18 now. This guy was already a FRHD legend when he was like 11. A great amount of ghosts in the database, many of them being great, Ninjasparkour is still managing to keep 3 features on the list, after peaking at 8 features, many years ago. But anyone that knows his ghosts know that he could have had way more features if he put his mind to it, given that he had some superb skills. He still has one of the finest featured fast ghosts we have in the list, one of the best trickghosts we have ever seen and a solid auto cut as well that he got with his mysterious alt, "xagefimuh". Maybe he didn't have the most relevant achievements with the features, the ghosting awards or the ghosting contests, but the streets know who Ninjasparkour is. Yeah, he had some sort of controversial exit, but in terms of ghosting, few players did better than him on this game, so we really think he deserves this placement.

12 - Backtwice - (11th place on last year's list) - The man, the myth, the legend. When Noob dominated, it would take someone remarkably skilled to remove him from the top and well, we got it. Maybe in the BHR realm Backtwice wasn't exactly the top guy, since there you could see guys like tomiy and even Noob himself maybe a bit above him or at least at the same level, but wherever Backtwice arrives, he doesn't come to play. If it's CR, BHR or FRHD, Backtwice has shown that no matter how you set the checkpoint system, he has the consistency and skills to compete with anyone at any level. Unfortunately, Backtwice only had one full ghosting contest performance during his peak since some other contests didn't finish and then we got a few years without cool contests. Also, the ghosting awards didn't exist back them, so no stats we show here will be able to showcase how dominant this guy was. At some point Backtwice had like half of the features we had on this list back then and before that he was the one that pushed the featured ghosts to be a thing here alongside Noob, before the whole mR..A takeover and stuff. And I feel like at the time it made sense because when Noob and Backtwice dominated, they brought a level of ghosting that was feature worthy and that the others took some time to match. But the creation of the featured ghosts page created something the other ghosters could aim to get into, a goal that could be set and required skill improvement for people to do so. Still, Backtwice was the first guy to cross the 10 features mark in the old list and the new list, so he is a historic ghoster for sure. He also won the FRWC2 with iconic performances, so with all of that, he should already be kind of high on this list. But it was his return around 2020/2021 that cemented his name as one of the all-time greats. Because, how do you compare generational talents? Would Michael Jordan crush on today's NBA standards? How would Pelé compare to Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo nowadays? It's always hard to tell because in any game or sport, the skills and the environment tend to evolve over the years. However, a legend or a genius from their time is forever a legend or a genius. It's hard to say that with better conditions and with the current knowledge on all aspects of the games and sports that previous GOATs wouldn't do well with today's standards, being able to adapt and still excel on different circumstances. Of course it's never a sure thing, so bringing this back to FRHD, we always end up on those What Ifs? And What If Backtwice came back was a popular take over the years, so I'm happy that we got some answers. Around the time we started doing the Ghosting Awards, a few months before the Free Rider World Cup 5, Backtwice made a comeback and created an interesting scenario where we would see him clash against some of the greats of the new generation, and he didn't disappoint. The FRWC5 was one of the most stacked ghosting contests in terms of talent involved. Man, in the Round of 16 we had players like Cerulean (during his peak), RedOrBlue (around his peak as well), Madara, Symantec (before the cheating), DrChill, Stevie.T, NotVeryGood, Backtwice, spruce, Chaos-Fallen, Uniior, Zycerak, mudkip and Pie42, worth mentioning that Cerasium was the 4th best on the overall times of the Group Stage and didn't advance to this stage. So you also had Cerasium, RadiumRC, adversitas and myself on the Losers Championship, lol. A crazy lineup! Backtwice, despite being on a relatively easy group, finished 5th on the overall combined times from the Group Stage, just behind RedOrBlue and the 3 that got stuck in the same group and had to go all in from the start: Zycerak, Stevie.T and Cerasium. After easily advancing to the Round of 16, Backtwice beat DrChill that had eliminated Stevie.T in a thrilling duel and then he was set to face the favorite at that point, that was Cerulean. The ghosting scene was being dominated by Cerulean and RedOrBlue at the time and the community had just seen Cerulean send Madara and RedOrBlue home after some insane turns of events in the contest. Backtwice pulled the same stunt Cerulean pulled against RedOrBlue of no ghost for the whole round and then a last minute crazy ghost and took home one of the most iconic wins in ghosting contest history. That performance was enough to make a statement: If Backtwice has enough motivation, he can keep up and compete with anyone on this game. That was a moment that made me realize that we should respect the OGs more. Yeah, Backtwice ended up not ghosting the final and mudkip got the W, but still, a very impressive 2nd place performance for Backtwice. Backtwice actually has finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month twice, one being during the FRWC5, so it was cool to see him around being competitive, even if it doesn't happen often. Also, if we had those ghosting awards back in 2016 and before, I have no idea on how many ghosting awards this guy would have. His peak of features is unclear, but is for sure around 13-17, which granted him the Pro Ghoster medal. He's also one of the 11 players that were elected Ghosting Legends on this game, which is crazy. Once the best, forever one of the best, Backtwice stays in the top 15.

11 - Xverse - (9th place on last year's list) - In terms of skills, there's probably less than 10 players better than this guy in the game. Even after everything that has happened over the last few years, even though he's inactive, Xverse might still be the best climber to play this game, a top 3 all-time tuber and definitely at least a top 10 off-road ghoster and a maybe a top 10 trial ghoster as well. This guy is insanely skilled. Even though he was last seen on the game 2 years ago and on forums around 2-3 years ago and he has features on the most competitive categories we have, he is still keeping 17 of those. That's crazy! And yeah, there's an ongoing theory that he might be Silent-Rider, that has 12 unverified features, but even if that's not true, Xverse is still an insane player. Even though Xverse vanished a few months after we started the Ghosting Awards, he still had enough time to finish among the top 3 ghosters of the month 5 times, lol. He has the Legendary Ghoster medal, having a peak of 33 features, which is crazy (8th best peak of features), especially given on how competitive and hard the tracks he got a feature on were. Xverse is the fastest to reach the Recognized Ghoster medal and the Pro Ghoster medal since getting his first feature, also being the fastest to reach the Pro Ghoster medal after getting the Recognized Ghoster medal. It took him 1 day to go from 0 to 5 features and 3 days to go from 0 to 10. Definitely a legend. We discussed some adjustments considering impact and longevity, among other things, so he eventually finished just outside the top 10 this time, but if someone has the skills to go back there, it's him. I hope we see more of him someday.​

 

FRHD ALL-TIME TOP GHOSTERS LIST 2023 EDITION

PART 5 OF 6
________________________________________________________________________________________________________​

10 - mR..A - (10th place on last year's list) - The Absolute Legend mR..A stays in the top 10. If we consider FRHD as a whole, mR..A is a solid candidate for the biggest legend ever. He was a notable Moderator, a VIP with the Legendary Trackmaker medal and some big trackmaking contest medals and a Ghosting Legend with the Legendary Ghoster medal and a big ghosting contest win. That's crazy! And he was already one of the greats on CR, so this guy is a legend no matter from which side you look at his path. His legacy is immensurable and even after all of these years, he still has 18 features. Yeah, you can say that they are all trickghost features, but he still has some legendary ones, even for today's standards. Not even players like Symantec and ShamatoZ that got caught cheating later got 20 featured trickghosts if I'm not mistaken. The guy is a legend, was one of the first to reach 20 features, the only one to reach 20 trickghosts features (he's like the king of that category for 7-8 years), he has a peak of 31 features, he was a top 3 or top 5 ghoster for years and years and also got a major ghosting contest win on GBC1, finishing tied with Madara and beating guys like Chaos-Fallen, RedOrBlue and tetrationiscool. A guy that did a lot for ghosting as a moderator while still killing it as a ghoster, this guy still deserves to be on the top 10. Maybe as skilled as his BHR companions Backtwice and Noob, but arguably more impactul to FRHD's story. He received a few shoutouts in the Ghosting Awards in the past few years since he still comes up with some solid suggestions, specially trickghosts, so yeah, this guy is still hanging on to the top 10 for another year.

9 - Sidewalk - (8th place on last year's list) - If we separate FRHD ghosting in eras we for sure would have WrzodX's era, Noob's era, Backtwice's era, Anonyymi's era, Cerasium's era and maybe now we are on Xenom's era, with some other periods not being that clear or long enough to be considered an era, but we for sure can't forget about Sidewalk's era. Yeah, he wasn't the only great guy at that time, but he was the one that was developed on the FRHD scenario that finally was able to reach the level of the BHR/CR guys. And this wasn't just my words, there was real acknowledgment of this from the greats mR..A and Backtwice around 7 years ago:



For anyone that was active during that time it was really cool to see Backtwice still kind of trying to keep up and stay at the top but being denied by Sidewalk's skills. That was a huge statement in the FRHD ghosting community. In 2017 and some of 2018, Sidewalk was the man to beat for sure. However, he eventually got inactive for a few years and Backtwice made a cool return before of him, so it created some doubt about how Sidewalk's skills would compare to the current players. But later in 2021 Sidewalk made his return and also didn't disappoint. Since then Sidewalk finished among the top ghosters of the month 5 times, with 2 wins. 1 one of these participations was made after the previous top 100 list. That participation was a win. He showed that he totally could still keep up with the new legends, which was really cool to see. On his return Sidewalk also surpassed his own peak of features that was already high (over 10 features) and secured a new peak of 25 features, securing the Legendary Ghoster medal. He eventually was named a Ghosting Legend for his achievements as well. In ghosting contests he finished 10th on GBC3, 12th on ORG, 5th on EOST, 7th on FRWC6 and 5th on GBC4, so he also has some experience on those. He was the main guy during the NFRL in 2016, but that eventually didn't end well, so we never know what would have happened. The guy lost some features for sure, still keeping 6, but still, a guy that has been a legend on different FRHD eras deserves to still be here, since he has shown that he can be very competitive with anyone when he puts his mind to it.

8 - Madara - (6th place on last year's list) - During Anonyymi's era around 2018-2020, it seemed that no one was being able to get close to what he was doing. One of the few ones that got real close to him in the number of features was Madara, showing that maybe the task wasn't as impossible as it once seemed. Madara is definitely a contender for the helicopter ghosting GOAT status, despite Ultraviolet's recent achievements, one of the best all-time on off-road ghosts and pretty much a great ghoster on everything else, while also being a top 3 all-time when it comes to ghosting contests. With an epic all-time peak of 48 features (6th all-time on that regard), the all-time record for the most vehicle featured ghosts held (23), and with 2 top 3 ghoster of the month participations, despite the fact he hasn't been very active since they started, Madara is a very important ghoster on this game's history. Also, since I mentioned his ghosting contest performances, let's see how they went:

GBC1 - 1st
GBC2 - 2nd
GBC3 - 3rd
FRWC4 - 3rd
FRWC5 - 17th

That's crazy. A medal on 4 out of 5 participations. Incredible! Even though he hasn't been super active for years, when he made like a comeback in 2021, it was clear that he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level, if he finds the time and motivation. He was an important player for the growing of the ghosting community, pushing the ghosting contests forward, taking helicopter ghosting to a new level and also being a solid ghost moderator for a fair amount of time, so I hope to still see a cool comeback from him any day. He is still keeping 11 features, so it shows that even with some of the best of the best improving and stealing many features, it is still hard to get him out of the list, since his ghosts are very solid. He earned the Ghosting Legend status, which was very deserved, so he still deserves to be a top 10 ghoster here.

7 - tetrationiscool - (4th place on last year's list) - For years he was the player with the most points in the game, now he's the 4th on that list, there's no way you haven't heard about this dude. For some, he might be the most technical ghoster ever, to most of the others, at least a top 3 or top 5 on that regard. He has been around for like a decade now, but was only around 2018 that all of his practice finally brought him up to the top. On the post-Sidewalk era, everything was lining up for tetrationiscool to be the new FRHD lead in ghosting, but right after his ascension we had Anonyymi's ascension and then things went differently. Still, he was one of the few that had a set of skills that could match Anonyymi's in many tracks, so yeah, a true legend. Tetrationiscool has some of the best ghosts in the database, like his ghosts on Hard A$$ Trial , Vines and Gavin's Soup, with some of them being tough challenges even for the ghosters ahead of him on this list, so yeah, a tough man to beat. He also pushed the ghosting community a lot further with his creative trials that sometimes only he could complete, so we have to consider him one of the pivots of modern ghosting for sure. Even though he was already kinda inactive when we started the ghosting awards, he did some cool little comebacks from time to time and still managed to finish among the top 3 ghosters of the month 3 times, with 1 win. He won the Ghost Of The Month award twice as well. Also, since we did do the Yearly Ghosting Awards for 2021, in the top 10 Ghosts of the Year for that year, tetrationiscool had the 5 best placed ghosts in the list, lol. And he still keeps 4 out of those 5 features. Crazy! In ghosting contests, it seems like tetrationiscool never had that much patience for them, although whenever he joined, he did great. He finished 5th in the GBC1 and he finished 6th in the FRWC3, where he finished top 4 on all 8 rounds he joined, but missed 2 rounds entirely. If he just ghosted these 2 rounds and placed like his worst placement in other rounds (4th), he would have come out of the contest with the 3rd Place medal. Whenever he put 100% of his effort on the game, pretty much no one could stop him. However, after reaching the top, he did miss some key moments that could make him be even higher on this list, since I don't think that all 6 players above him on the list are better than him in skill, but we just thought that maybe when we combine skills, achievements and impact, then maybe the others deserved to be higher than him. He's a complete Ghosting Legend, though. The King of Trials, Off-Road Pro and good at everything else, he's one of the guys that might have what it takes for the number 1 spot if he gets a more consistent peak and set of achievements. His peak of features is 32 and he currently still holds 17 features, so yeah, a tough man to beat.

6 - Cerulean - (7th place on last year's list) – An interesting change on the list, some may ask why we moved Cerulean up since he hasn't done much in the past years. I guess the little changes in the team and how we perceived stuff might be the biggest reason, but I feel like this is a fair placement for him. At times a controversial figure, some might not see this, but Cerulean actually brought some revolution to FRHD ghosting. He was the first guy that started doing some insane tube ghosts at a dangerous consistency. If you look at how ghosting is today, many guys that weren't that good at tubes before are completing ghosts that would be unthinkable a few years back, and that all happened after Cerulean mastered tube ghosting. With a super technical but not super desperate style when ghosting tubes, Cerulean showed that those kind of tracks are not as impossible as they seemed. Cerulean actually made us change some criteria when reviewing tube ghosts. Back then, imagining 15 seconds flawless tube ghosts was nearly impossible, so whenever Cerulean did like a flawless tube ghost around 10-15 seconds it was an instant feature, because pretty much no one else could do those. But he did so many of those, while still killing it with off-road ghosts and other trial ghosts, that we were kind of unsure on whether to feature some of his stuff or not. However, we were only able to definitely raise the bar when some other ghosters managed to start replicating some of the stuff he was doing, so we saw that what he was doing was possible and legitimate, but still, that he's one of the best tubers ever, even if some of the others eventually matched some of his skills. This was the guy that beat Anonyymi's record for the most features record, which was a big deal at the time, since Anonyymi probably had the biggest dominance ever on this game. Cerulean had 53 features at his peak (4th all-time on that regard), which was the record for a fair bit. Cerulean kind of shared the top with RedOrBlue around 2020 despite having more features usually, and he managed to win some ghosting awards over the years. Cerulean has finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month 6 times (5th all-time) and has 4 wins (4th all-time). He also has 3 Ghost Of The Month awards (6th all-time), being one of the 2 players that have managed to get 3 in a row (alongside Xenom). Besides all of that, he also has shined in ghosting contests, being 1st place on GBC3 and 5th on FRWC5. He also has the Ghosting Legend status, so with all of that we felt like 6th was fitting for him.

FRHD ALL-TIME TOP GHOSTERS LIST 2023 EDITION​

PART 6 OF 6​

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

5 - Xenom - (76th place on last year's list) – By far the most relevant change on this list and one of the biggest changes on the history of this game from a year to the next, Xenom absolutely anihilated everything on his way and got himself a very deserving place in the top 5. Pretty much all of Xenom's stats happened after the previous list when he looked a bit promising, but no more than that. But let's recap what he did since then, lol:

- Finished 13 times among the top 3 ghosters of the month (It'll be 14 when we include the one from February of this year), with 12 of those being during our period of consideration for the new list. Keep in mind that from July 2022 to December 2023 there's only 18 months and he was a top 3 ghoter for 12 of those 18 months, lol. 13 top 3 partipations make him the 2nd with the most all-time participations.
- Won 8 Ghoster Of The Month awards (it'll be 9 when we include the one from February) with 7 of those being during the period of consideration for the new list. This makes him the 2nd all-time with the most wins on this category.
- Won 8 Ghost of the Month awards (it'll probably be 9 when we include the one from February), with 7 of them also being during the period of consideration. This makes him the most decorated player on this category ever!
- He now holds 113 featured ghosts, a new all-time record, being the first to break the 110 mark! There's a lot more on the way since we didn't review some of his ghosts yet, so yeah, it'll be hard to catch him.
- He's one of the few players that held at some point a feature on every category simultaneoulsy, and the only one to do so at the moment besides RadiumRC.
- He's dominating the Fast Featured Ghosts category at the moment, with 95 features.
- Finished 3rd place on GBC4 and on FRWC6, so 2 big ghosting contest medals for him.
- Proved to be a very versatile ghoster, doing great on trials, climbs, tubes, off-road tracks, vehicle tracks, being a great trickghoster and anything else you can imagine.
- Set the record of features gained in a month (35)
- Set the record for the Most Ghoster Of The Month wins in a year (7), the Most Ghost Of The Month wins in a year (7), the Most Top 3 Ghoster Of The Month Participations in a year (11), the Most Ghost Of The Month wins in a row (3) and several other minor records.
- Named a Ghosting Legend.

This guy was totally the best ghoster of 2023 and had one of the best ghosting years among any player on this game, so yeah, 5th place is totally deserving for him. He has nearly the highest level of skills and nearly the highest set of achievements among the players on this list, so if he gets the longevity and the impact he will have what it takes to fight for the number 1 spot one day.

4 - Cerasium - (5th place on last year's list) – I feel like finally the top 4 is becoming to be pretty even. It's hard to decide on who should be at the top. I can see people agreeing with this placement, but I can also see people thinking: "When enough will be enough for Cerasium?". Because let's be honest and run it back checking Cerasium's achievements since the previous list and his all-time achievements:

Since the previous list:

Ghosting Contests: Won both contests that happened, winning the FRWC6 after beating WrzodX, adversitas, Sidewalk, Setsu, Xenom and an insane RadiumRC and won the GBC4 after being away for a while, beating a very sharp spruce and the ghoster of the year Xenom.

Ghosting Awards: 9 Top 3 Ghoster Of The Month Participations with 6 wins and also 2 Ghost Of The Month wins.

Features: Reached a new peak of 108 features (2nd all-time) and an all-time record of 102 featured fast ghosts.

His all time achievements:

- Peak of 108 features (2nd all-time)
- All-time record of the most featured fast ghosts held (102)
- All-time record on Top 3 Ghosters Of The Month participations (18)
- All-time record on Ghoster Of The Month wins (10)
- 4th with the most Ghost Of The Month wins all-time (4)
- All-time record on Top 3 Ghosters Of The Month participations in a row (9)
- All-time record on Ghoster Of The Month wins in a row (4)
- The GOAT of ghosting contests without a doubt with the all-time record of 6 medals on big ghosting contests, with 4 wins (1st on ORG, GBC3, FRWC6 and GBC4 and 3rd on FRWC5 and EOST), that is also an all-time record. ABSURD!
- Named Ghoster of the Year in 2021 by the Ghosting Awards team and in 2022 by the public on FRHD Awards.
- Named a Ghosting Legend

No one has more achievements than him and he's a dope ghoster, so why isn't it enough? I'll quote what I said in the team convo:

"[...]Yeah, I still think that if given fair conditions to the top 4 players in the ranking going 100%, I think that Cerasium would usually probably finish behind RadiumRC, Anonyymi and RedOrBlue. In terms of skills, I feel like Cerasium is a bit below them. Not much, though. In terms of achievements, Cerasium surpasses them all by a fair margin, so why keep him in 4th? I feel like this is a tough discussion, but we can't deny that Cerasium's achievements are a bit benefited by the era he arose to the ghosting scene. Like, hear me out: In 2021, the biggest year for Cerasium in ghosting he had the opportunity to join the FRWC5, the GBC3, the ORG and the EOST. 4 big ghosting contests. Also, it was the first full year of the ghosting awards, so it happens that his peak matched maybe the peak of ghosting events on this community. Not taking anything from him and his consistency, but if there were such things in late 2018, the full year of 2019 and early in 2020, Anonyymi would have like 5 ghosting contest wins, 10+ ghoster of the month wins and much more. Also, RadiumRC is among the top 3 most awarded players in the ghosting awards ever (alongside Cerasium and Xenom) and is technically, better than everyone else on the list, so it's a fair thing to mention as well. As for RedOrBlue, he's the OG that has been evolving since like 2014 or 2015. He went through every single stage on this ghosting scene and ended up at the top. If we had like these ghosting awards in early 2020, RedOrBlue would have several more. And even later, he was putting up with peak Cerasium using 10% of the effort with his busy schedule. He was pretty much the only one (maybe tetrationiscool a bit as well) that could give peak Anonyymi a run for his money, so yeah, now that they are inactive and the metrics are different, it's hard to compare them with Cerasium. But to be honest, for different reasons, the top 4 is pretty even. I still don't feel confident to move Cerasium up, but if he keeps up for another year, I feel like we should be opening the conversation for his claim as the goat. And of course Xenom can have the same treatment in a couple of years if he stays at this level."

So there you have it. The team agreed with me on this and we decided to keep Cerasium in 4th (one position above what he was last year), but we have to say that there's pretty much no difference among the top 4 players for us for different reasons and that we also have Xenom coming in hot so the crown is definitely up for grabs for the 2024 list. Nothing is set. Cerasium is the best contest ghoster on this game ever, you can definitely count on him to make history on this game, but for now, we'll keep him one more time out of the top 3.

3 - RedOrBlue - (2nd place on last year's list) – The top 3 for the 2023 list is the same that we had for the 2022 list, but there's one change: we switched Anonyymi with RedOrBlue for the 2nd and 3rd places. "Why that?" You may ask, so let's try to explain it.

In the previous list we said that we pretty much considered that RedOrBlue and Anonyymi were in the same level so it was really tough set them apart, but RedOrBlue was more active at the time, so we decided to give it to him, since we had some more recent ghosts from the previous year at the time to see how was his level of ghosting. Since the previous list, Anonyymi finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month twice and won the Ghost Of The Month award twice as well. RedOrBlue finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month once and won the Ghost Of The Month award once since then. None of them did anything relevant regarding ghosting contests, so we just felt like since the previous list Anonyymi was more relevant if we consider the whole period, so we decided to give the edge to Anonyymi. But let's talk about some of RedOrBlue's lifetime achievements:

- Peak Of Features (43) (7th All-Time)
- Top 3 Ghoster Of The Month Participations (5) (6th All-Time)
- Ghoster Of The Month Wins (2) (5th All-Time)
- Ghost Of The Month Wins (4) (4th All-Time)
- Most Different Years with any type of Ghosting Award (4) (1st All-Time)
- 4 Ghosting Contest Medals* and other good contest performances (15th on GBC4, 13th on EOST, 6th on FRWC5 and also on ORG* after having an insane performance for most of the year, 2nd on FRWC3* in a particular duel with Anonyymi and also on GBC3*, where he was the best individual player in the contest but lost since it was a duo contest and finally 1st on GBC2*)

RedOrBlue, like tetrationiscool, had a constant evolution arc since like 2014, being an influent ghoster that found his way to the top after a long journey of practice and evolution. In every single time he came back after, it became clearer and clearer that if he had put as much effort as other ghosters have put on the game over the years, he could have gone even further. There was this funny episode when Cerulean was dominating and was on a streak of stealing several featured ghosts (like 10) in a week, RedOrBlue came in after like a little break on school and stole all of them back in a single day. I'm confident that RedOrBlue has the skill level to possibly beat anyone if given fair conditions and the right motivation. So he's also a contender for the number 1 spot, he just needs a cool comeback and the right set of achievements. RedOrBlue is keeping 17 features right now, but for the ones that are here long enough it's clear that if you mix longevity, impact, skills and achievements on FRHD, the answer you would get it's probably RedOrBlue, so yeah, a top 3 placement is definitely deserving for him.​

2 - Anonyymi - (3rd place on last year's list) – For some, Anonyymi is still the GOAT of FRHD when it comes to ghosting. Coming in a post-Sidewalk era during tetrationiscool's ascension, this rather unknown rider at the time took the ghosting world by storm and quickly became a name to be remembered. He took over sometime in the second half of 2018 and was still untouchable until some point in 2020, when he got inactive. Succeeding Backtwice and Noob on the Finnish Dynasty, Anonyymi showed a dominance like no other player had on this game. Back then no player have had like more than 20 features and my man Anonyymi just had to set the new record at 52 features. And no, it wasn't like on today's era where we have literally 500 featured ghosts. At that time, we had around 150, so the guy owned like a third of all features and he totally could have going further than this if he really pushed. Most of the other features were like from Madara that got like over 40 at some point with like 20+ of them being vehicle featured ghosts, one of the few areas where Anonyymi wasn't dominant. But for like about 2 years, there was no hope and no one too close to him. I think he might have joined some other minor ones, but he only joined 2 big ghosting contests and won both of them (FRWC3 and FRWC4) in high fashion. In the FRWC3 he got the win winning the first 9 rounds flawlessly over probably peak RedOrBlue and tetrationiscool and then not even ghosting the last round, while in the FRWC4 he went for the memes and had his iconic loss to ZPresley and then went to win every single match after that and become the first double champion of the same ghosting contest on this game (only Cerasium replicated that later with the GBC3 and GBC4 wins). It was cool to see that after he got inactive he made a few little comebacks and finished among the top 3 ghosters of the month 5 times (6th all-time), having 1 win, even though he was mostly inactive during the last few years. He also won 5 Ghost Of The Month awards, being the 3rd with the most wins in this category even though those awards didn't exist during his peak. His peak of features (52) is the 5th highest ever and probably the most dominant considering the whole list among players with the Legendary Ghoster medal. A true legend, a contender for the all-time GOAT status and truly still a menace if he decides to comeback. To me, he's the off-road goat and the big ghosting contest Golden Boy, the guy that never lost when it mattered. Even with all the new guys coming, Anonyymi is still the 4th player with the most features, keeping 27 at moment. Would like to see a comeback from him, but while it doesn't happen, let's appreciate all that the anonymous ghoster from Finland gave to us so far.

1 - RadiumRC - (1st place on last year's list) – Tough to decide this one. There was no doubt in the team that RadiumRC is the most skilled player on the list and that he has several great achievements, so it shouldn't be too hard to put him in first since we did it last time, but man, it wasn't that simple. After RadiumRC got into some trackmaking controversy and then disappeared, lots of questions surfaced regarding RadiumRC. Like, if despite being a talented trackmaker some of his tracks weren't as legitimate as he claimed, could the same be applied to his ghosts? The short answer is: "We don't know". All we know is that when RadiumRC left the game, he was a respectable Ghost Mod, he had just sent a video of him easily beating a featured ghost from Cerulean while showing his screen, his hands and his keyboard, with no indicators in the screen or in the way he was playing that he was using cheats, so even in the worst case scenario, we know that he's a great ghoster regardless of anything. Yeah, you can argue that the same could have been said for players like Symantec and ShamatoZ that are great ghosters despite of the cheating incidents, or even we can remember Cerulean's redemption arc, so yeah, it's tough to tell. With that said, since we couldn't find anything clear regarding those potential claims against RadiumRC, we decided to only consider for this the skills he displayed over the years and his achievements, so with that in mind we decided to give him the 1st place once again. If we ever need to change that, we won't hesitate to do it, but for now, as far as we know, he deserves this placement. Let's look at his all-time achievements:

Ghosting Contests:

FRWC5 – 11th Place
GBC3 - 6th Place
ORG – 4th Place (legendary performance after entering late)
EOST – 1st Place (remarkable victory over Cerasium)
FRWC6 - 2nd Place (after 2022's list so it counts for this new list. Tough loss against Cerasium around the weird times that concluded on his exit)

Ghosting Awards:

- Top 3 Ghosters Of The Month Participations (10) - 3rd All-Time
PS: 3 since 2022's list
- Ghoster Of The Month Wins (5) - 3rd All-Time
- Ghost Of The Month Wins (6) - 2nd All-Time
PS: 1 since 2022's list
- We didn't do the 2022 Yearly Ghosting Awards, but he would have won Ghoster Of The Year on that, alongside Ghost Of The Year, as he did in the FRHD Awards with his ghost on 0007

Featured Ghosts:

- Peak of Features of 90 (3rd all-time). He still holds 89 (3rd in the list right now), haha. It's super hard to beat him on anything.
- He's the leader of the featured Auto Cuts category and has the all-time record for the Auto Cuts category (18)
- Only player besides mR..A to have more than 2 featured trickghosts. RadiumRC has 5.
- One of the 5 players to have held a feature on all 4 main categories simultaneously, the only one besides Xenom to do it right now.
- Fastest to reach the Recognized Ghoster medal since his first feature (1 day - tied with Xverse)
- Fastest to reach the Legendary Ghoster medal since his first feature (32 days)

With all of those cool achievements and mostly with the fact that it's incredibly hard to beat any featured ghost from him and that we are still finding some crazy ghosts from him up to this day, this player found on countless leaderboards that might have made his final leave with the perfect number of 100000 points finishes on our number 1 spot once again. Even though he only really shined in 2021 and 2022, he's actually a ghoster for the ages that left his mark on the game with his unprecedented skills and versatility. See you guys next year on the main list!

PS: Sorry for the delay again. Had some issues with my computer (that are now fixed), had my birthday today (now yesterday) and many other things, so yeah, it was tough to do this. Also, I had to do this in 6 parts due to the size so it took a bit longer. I'm happy we finally are done with this and we'll try to get the 2024 on time, haha. On the Ghosting Mod duties now we'll shift focus towards the February and March ghosting awards and then we'll think about the next set of reviews for the featured ghost suggestions and maybe updates or new releases of new specific lists if we think we can do those. Also, we'll reset the poll and we will like to hear some comments about the list. I have absolutely no idea on what people think so far, haha. Let's share the opinions in a respectable manner, please. Also, I'll be adding the list to the main post soon and in the next few days will be adding the alts for the users. Might need some help. But yeah, I unironically started writing the posts for this list when I was 25 and finished at 26 years old, haha. I need to either write less or write faster, haha. See you guys around!​
