      Hey everyone,

      You might have noticed that the featured track list got quite a lot of new tracks on there and that's because we've been populating it with classic track from before FRHD (canvas rider/trackmill/FR2DB.FR). We want to give some of the best tracks this game has seen some love by giving them a place at the start of the list. We understand that some of you might not agree with a certain track being on there or feel that a certain track is missing but we can't please everyone with this list. We feel that what we have there right now is a nice group of tracks to show to the people who've never seen them before.

      Some of you might feel that your favorite pre-FRHD track is missing and that's why we've decided to make a thread about that. Elibloodthirst is going to make a thread (hopefully stickied) that he will keep updating with classic tracks that didn't make the list or that we may have forgotten. We don't want to be stuck forever trying to make this list perfect so we kinda want to move on now. We will wait for 'day at the cottage' and 'tools of destruction' to be ported over to FRHD before we finish this list. After that we will rank them from oldest to newest and then we will move on to featuring FRHD tracks.

      For featuring newer tracks the standard isn't going to be as high as lolz's tracks, because that way no one could get on the list. We have 10 or so tracks we want to feature that were published on FRHD, like war 3. We want to let you guys know that everyone could possibly get on this list with every kind of track. (detailed tracks, really fun to play tracks, art tracks or all of that.) We still want the featured list to remain quality but we also don't want to feature a track every 6 months.

      The featured track team,

      WheelieMaker , Elibloodthirst , Maple and Max007x

      Well it isn't just that. The track has all the aspects of a great work. Clean consistent detail throughout and its original creative setting makes it a great track to look at. The track isn't hindered by the detail. It's quite well done, the duration of the track is fair and its use of powerup aids in achieving a sense or epicness(slow mo being used properly). Playing it is quite refreshing. The design of the track is carefully thought and albatross is able to execute it. Unlike some of the other tracks on the featured page chosen for their amazing detail/significance back in its time Taiga is chosen because it excels in every aspect regarding track making.

      I hope you guys aren't simply choosing tracks because they're a great work. Because I can simply name many other great works. This track has good detail, a decent track and a slow-mo, I can name loads of other tracks like that. I thought the goal for the 1st page of features was to gather the greatest tracks of all time, and this track does not fit in that category.

      Isn't the point of featuring tracks is to look for amazing pieces of work? because I'm positive that's what taiga was.

      In that case, why are we even doing this? All these tracks have been featured before. Why not just leave them as they were? Why not have them in with the newer tracks that are also amazing pieces of work? Because we want to honor the significant tracks that changed the game. Wasn't that the point of this? If not, I was lied to.

      I said amazing. Amazing is top tier pssst, whatever we're beyond trying to please you for everything, other opions matter.

      Anyway, I'll be posting that other thread with the other tracks sometime tomorrow.

      Taiga is an amazing track. Can we stop letting pssst post in these threads? No tracks make him happy and he's not even a popular track maker so his opinions mean... less.

      You guys keep going, small question, where can i view the previously featured track? If you go to featured tracks it'll only show like the 30 most recent, instead of starting a new page.

      My opinion shouldn't mean less. Your opinion should mean less because you're a prick.

      Honestly, we all play the game for different reasons. I may not play the game as an artist, but I play the game to make what I find fun and I'm good at what I decide to make. I've also been here a long time. So I deserve as good an opinion as anyone and you're no one to say otherwise.

      Honestly arguing about the featured tracks is getting old. I say get some classics but make sure to get some new ones too. As long as that happens it's fine by me

      I wouldn't say that Taiga is 'a personal favorite'. We discussed it and pretty much all though it should be on there and by reading the reactions here, other people think so as well

      Alright ,

      The featured track listing should be tracks that stand out as great tracks. Be it artistic or fun. A lot of these classic tracks wont see the light of day without being on the featured track listing. I believe a lot of the tracks that some of you guys are saying "no" about (taiga), 100% belong on the featured track listing. I know that taiga was Velskys favourite track. I think all of the tracks listed here http://community.freeriderhd.com/threads/honourable-classics-thread.1536/ should be in the featured track listing. They are better than +95% of the tracks uploaded :). We want to expose these tracks to new players, and welcome them to the tracks that inspired all of you.

      Im going to veto this discussion and say if a track has a slight feeling it should be featured, just feature it. There are 1300+ pages of tracks. Lets fill at least 3-4 pages of featured tracks right away. Some of you are taking things a bit too serious, and giving the mods a hard time and making them feel pressured (they didn't say this, I'm getting the vibe). There are a lot of tracks I have never seen before that are classics and should be put somewhere where they can be found.

      If you guys see a bunch more tracks on there that you don't meet your standards, blame me :)
