    you bring up good points. it was my first playthrough, ill be honest. i specifically found this part inconsistent:

    the rocks were really annoying, but it will probably get easier the more times i play the track

    e; yeah second playthrough was much easier. i do honestly prefer mediocre trials like matt_trazy used to make and offroads like RadiumRC and SCrane make though

    That's a big section of track right there XD
    I agree though, those rocks are pretty annoying. Not the worst part imo though. My least favorite thing about this track is the plank-like texture done on many of the ramps that makes each ramp ride like a brush making many of the ramps speed you up or slow you down randomly. Other than that, the track isn't too bad.

    Being completely honest. I found this track about a few months ago and gave up because of how annoying it was due to those inconsistencies. Otherwise, I would have already had a ghost on it for this competition lol

    I feel Eryp's comment quite bias because first of all, he's second place (pretty sure first at the time till Uniior came) and he's a recognized ghoster. He has the skill to ride at a higher level. It may be a good choice for you because you've been consistent for months at a time but, it doesn't mean it's the same for others. Not dumping your comment Eryp, you're cool and correct.

    I've attempted this track on Ridingforever months ago on random and how inconsistent this track is with the major gaps and strange timing jumps, this track forces you to practise every nook and cranny. I'm not saying this is a bad track, I'm saying the way the track is laid out hasn't be revised to make the track work fluently. Even the starting itself has a pattern than you need to get down till the next 5-10 seconds, the first bad part comes in. Then that one part YourKidding pointed out.

    I know that ORG is suppose to have tracks with a set difficulty, there's really no variation. Maybe because I suck at FRHD is the reason why I'm fussing about it. Can't even do simple things to be called a ghoster. Anyhow, I'll just make a run and call it a day.... if I can get one.

    tracks that are fun but inconsistent are actually perfect for this contest, they provide a ton more room to improve an average ghost. if all the tracks were really consistent and smooth it'd get pretty boring to keep ghosting on it after a while, and the limit would be approached really quickly

    I get your frustration, but complaining about a track not being that easy on a ghosting contest is kind of complaining for a bad score you got for doing an average track on a trackmaking contest. Kinda pointless, since you can't win a contest like this with no skill. Not saying anything against you, since you did pretty good in the first 3 rounds you joined, but that's how it goes. We have featured ghosts from ghosting contests, featured tracks from trackmaking contests, and that's because we aim to provide scenarios where people will attempt to do the best they can, and that usually comes if you provide some challenges and set the difficulty and standards on a higher level.

    Yeah, I get that it's kinda different with ORG, since this is the biggest ghosting contest ever in terms of number of players, duration, and since we did promote this in the whole forums like never before (for a ghosting contest), so it did attract the "general public" other than the traditional ghosters that are usually around the Races or the Community Challenges and Contests forums, so I get some of you guys are not used to this type of contests. We'll have the Ghosting Battle Contest later this year and probably another Free Rider World Cup next year, and if you take a look on those contests, you'll see that the tracks we pick for ORG are usually easier than what we have for those contests (although ORG tracks can be longer than some of those). Yeah, it's a long contest, so we won't get all the tracks right, but it's definitely not as bad as some of you guys make it seems.

    Yeah, Eryp is a great ghoster, but many of his ghosts are not perfect or new on those tracks, so since he thinks the tracks are good enough and have MAJOR points to improve on (and we agree on both), I don't see why reject the tracks. None of his ghosts stayed in first place (and most of the times not even in the leaderboard at all), so I guess he was right in the end.
    That's exactly what we aim for here. Sometimes yeah, things might be a bit too much inconsistent, but choosing smooth tracks doesn't prove anything either.

    I saw all of these complaints abt the track being hard then tried it on mobile and it only took me a few minutes to get an ok mobile ghost.....It’s honestly not that inconsistent and i think it’s a good ghosting track. Eryp I think you’ve done a great job picking these tracks and thank you to all the ppl keeping this thing running :thumbsup:

    Idk on mobile, but after playing the track for 10 minutes I made the leaderboard. The track isn't that hard at all. Sure it's inconsistent here and there, but most of these stuff will be easier as you play the track more and more. I made about 20-30 attempts and I was done.

    QUICK UPDATE:

    This thread is getting way too many posts and sometimes it can get slightly off-topic and the contest got kinda big, so we are making an ORG subforum in the Races forums. We'll have this main thread for discussion and ideas, a thread just for announcing challenges and breaks and a locked thread where only the team can post, that will be for the matchups and maybe important announcements. This way, people can keep discussing stuff, new ideas, feedback on the tracks and stuff like this here, while not mixing up with the important stuff that sometimes get lost in the middle of this thread because of the "spam" or just too many messages in general. If we feel the need of creating anything else, like a specific thread for new ideas or stuff like this we will, since we want to hear the feedback, while also maybe not having to go through that many posts everyday. College is starting back for me next week, so things might get a bit more complicated, but I think we can make it. Let's see how it goes. Probably will finish the new adjustments until tomorrow.

    Woah! When did that get there!? I like it. Does this mean that ORG is the biggest FRHD competition going?
    Okay, this makes sense. Will all past comments be deleted?

    from an outsiders POV, y'all are giving eryp and the ORG team way too much hate for what they're doing. for goodness sake guys, this is a brand new concept, you guys have to be lenient with this. coager left because he couldn't be stuffed with the twelvies complaining about everything, now y'all have given that grief to the ORG team. eryp can choose the tracks he wants, i think we can agree he's good enough to do so, there's a reason he has almost every single stinkin' badge on forums.

    be thankful the ORG team are continuing with this concept. frhd hasn't seen anything like this before. so what if some tracks are 'glitchy' and/or 'bad'. deal with it. you guys should be thankful that the ORG team take time out of their lives to organise something like this.

    every single person on the ORG team is there for a reason, because they are good enough to manage something like this.

    tldr: i appluad the ORG team for continiuing with this for so long and everyone who is complaining about the tracks and such should just stop. be thankful random strangers on the internet take time from their lives to do something like this.

    :thumbsup:
