    This is a racetrack made by me,
    Xx ZOR xX, and little help by chung wii.
    My track, Mirage is a track on the main
    tier of sandbox. It features lots of smooth
    hills, a large banked wave, a sweet spiral
    turn, ending with the destination and a
    cool gap drop.

I POSTED THIS WARNING, U HAVE BEEN WARNED TO NOT POST ABOUT PICS. i'll be mad if u do! lol.

    Even though you have a video you still need to embed a pic. You need to do that within 24 hours or your thread will be locked. Use photobucket to embed your pics create an account, download pics from bnet, upload them to photobucket, copy and paste url to description, and BAM you have pics. Any more questions just ask me.

    No joke, I put hours into this video. It has tons of camera shots in it. and MONGOOSES MOVING! (they don't do that in pictures... at least i don't think so...) A video is plenty for a map, give him a break.

    Yeah really videos are like a jillion pics in one collaboration. Anyways, this racetrack seems basic, is there any thing unique on this track?

    a wooden banked wave, and a double block banked wave... and a road made of large colums. Then there is the location of the starting point.

    The rules are the rules. Picture or lock. Your choice. As far as I'm concerned, you wouldn't say that last part of your post to a mod, now would you? As for the actual map, its an amazing racetrack, but these kinds of tracks are dying in general. Banked skytrack has gone stale, and if you don't exploit something new or use a theme in your track, it's just like all the others. Banked, smooth, and boring. However, I am pleased to see another great racetrack forger out there. Keep up the good work!

    EDIT: Here. Now stop bitching about it.

    Why didn't that other guys map get locked then? all he had was a video. I'm sorry to hear that you think big racetracks are going out of style, i think not. people still download and people still think they are fun. you said my track was
    I'm sorry to hear that.... unless you want something FLAT, BUMPY, and NOT exicting... i'm sorry to hear that you like those kind of maps. I really am...

    I like the look of your track, it is very smooth, visually appealing, and the starting point is unique. However it is a bit dull to drive on. What is this nascar? It only has a total of 4 or 5 turns per lap, with a huge straight away over the starting area. If someone gets out in the lead they are likely to hold it for the game because none of the turns are challenging enough to make someone fall off regularly. I can tell you put a lot of time into this, and i dont want to sound harsh, but sometimes well forged maps can fall a litte flat.

    FAIL. Do you have any idea how many banked waves there are on this site? I agree this map is nicely made but there is nothing new or unique about it. Maps like this are not fun to race on. Nothing interesting ever happens.

    What I assume he means is that this track brings practically nothing new to the table. Sure it may be smooth and everything, but it doesn't hold any unique qualities whatsoever. I'm sorry to hear that you can't take simple criticism and have to get so butthurt over peoples opinions. I really am.

    Ironic. You call people five years old, yet you throw a sissy fit similar to that of a five year old. If someone posted a boring, un-unique track such as this one I can assure you that most intelligent people would give their same opinion on it whether he or she has a good history of making well made tracks. Another thing, you tell us to download and race it and then give a review on it. I personally believe it'll save more time just watching your video and reviewing the track based off of that because it's practically the same as playing it anyway.

    By the way, compared to most of the better tracks I've seen, everyone's opinion on it being bland and tasteless are completely justified considering that that's exactly what it is, bland and tasteless. Sure it may be smooth and everything but, once again, there is absolutely nothing that makes it stand out.

    I also find it ironic how you tell people to 'MAKE A TRACK THIS GOOD' when a grand majority of forgers on this site probably could. Stop being so friggin' butthurt, jeez.

    By the way, watch the language. It isn't making you look any smarter using the vernacular of a rebellious teenager.

    No offence, but all of that has been done in other racetracks as well, but better. He's right, it is really basic but still is a decent track. This is the internet, you've got to learn to take criticism, especially from the douchebags at forgehub.

    I like how it is mostly straight-aways from one side of the map of the map to the other, rather than a mess of turns going under and over each other like a lot of other racetracks!

    alirght.... oh nice arguments going on here lol

    the map: The forging looks pretty well done from the video that you have, the banks look well forged and the waves look entertaining. However, I don't think this track is going to be all that much fun... I have seen many tracks like this and they are all getting boring now, you have to think of something new (asthetics don't matter truly I mean like putting the track together in a new and exciting way). Also one thing I really don't like on racetracks are sheild doors which you have placed on a few of the turns, I think it should be how well you can drive not how well you can only use a sheild door... that's just me..

    Pretty good forging though keep it up =P
