    I hate most of the tracks becausenone of them require skill. Why isn't there a place for 'skill-needed' tracks.

    You literally make the same track over and over again lol some big jumps with mediocre detail.

    whoa there speak for yourself buddy. also I never said the people who made those tracks suck. I said the tracks suck to play. The art is great usually.

    I don't see why people don't take each track for their own and accept it as it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I'm sorry you feel that way. I like to think most of my tracks are original and unique. I never claimed to be an artist either. I just like tracks that are fun to play. To each his own I guess.
    ps. I make small jumps too xD
    What? How?

    your tracks are probably the ones that are able to teach younger and less experienced players on how to play Free Rider itself, and why they are forever linked to the 'noob' population in the game. I'm not saying I do, I've been a fan of most of your tracks since I started playing, and they are way better than most tracks coming out now tbh. So crypt, don't hate on crap that is made to be exiting and not made purely for the art form. The ride on most of your tracks are enjoyable for more experienced players but are nightmares and unfair for newer players. I do wish that the detail would be a bit better in some of iTzChuckNorris 's tracks, but the ride (while sometimes fun) in crypt's tracks can be incredibly frustrating, to the point of rage quitting. It's just the different perspective different people take on the game. One as an art form, one as a game. It all depends on your skill level, both in drawing and in experience.

    I like to think that the track itself can be art (the part you ride).

    Give me some ideas then. I really want to hear. I know I suck at making fun to play tracks. The track theme is, surprise surprise, forest.

    My tracks aren't meant to be fun or easy. I work the track around the drawings, not the other way around. This is why I don't really wanna make tracks anymore, I want other people to make them for me and I will draw around them. I couldn't make a fun track if I tried. For example, the WIP (that I spoiled too much of) is detailed by me and the "ride" is by another user.

    tbh your tracks are really fun to play. Yes, they can be a bit unforgiving in a few areas here and there, but all around your tracks just make people say 'woah.' and that's all they need to. imo (others can disagree) you've struck a balance between higher difficulty and a unique ride. While people like chuck norris over here focus more on the ride and the fun factor in the game part, other people (crypt being a key example) make tracks that are more focused about the art, and only really detailed instead of making a 'ride'. The difficulty is caused by the dark detailing and the placement of the nature. again, it all comes down to how you view the game: as a game or as an art form. you've struck a good middle ground.

    I can get that. I'm not hating on your tracks at all, in fact I'm pretty inspired by them. I was more commenting on the dark shading that you do does tend to bring out the line glitching in several of your tracks, which can make it harder to land jumps and how you try to strategize to get the best record. It just makes so many different outcomes that you just have to get lucky one of those times. For me, I just spend a lot of time just riding the track and seeing how many outcomes that there can possibly be. Yes, it can be time consuming, but I love riding harder tracks and figuring the best way to beat them with good times. Again, not hating on your tracks, but I love the rides that chuck has in his tracks. They're pretty original if you look at it not in the artstyle way you usually think but in the way of how it flows and how the track causes excitement. imo Snowy Slopes X (i'm not sure which one, but i'm certain it's the last one) is incredibly original in it's ride.

    And if you want a track, I always have a crap ton of WIPs that i'll never work on, which you can have any day ;)

    Well you see frhd is a racing game. Not a drawing game! You gotta be like skilled enough to ride those hard tracks, not just look at the art! If I wanted to draw something nice, I'd use Autodesk Sketchbook Pro ( the best of its kind btw ), and not frhd!

    That's why I was saying that there are different viewpoints on making tracks. People making art in this game are incredibly amazing, I mean realize that all lines are straight little bits of code.

    All the lines are code, so what!? Actually, I enjoy looking at the code and tweaking it!
    I've made teleports and super boost powerups just by tweaking the code!
    Plus, there's nothing called viewpoints! You either ride the bike, or go to draw something and play there!
