    I made this track mainly concentrating on the dragon itself whilst trying to make the track around it. The track is short but I made it as smooth as possible and easy to drive on.

    I agree with Mr P1B where he said he could see this as a feature!, the dragon aesthetics are brilliant, the steep corner could be made a bit smoother, the overall design of the map is great, the fact you made it playable is fantastic, the dragons head looks both cool and smooth to drive through. 6/5 feature? and a download :) fantastic map!

    Thanks Josh and Mr P1B for your comments. I'll try and work on that last corner and hopefully it'll be good enough for featured :D

    It was good, but not even close to a Feature.. The track is too short. The dragon was really cool. The track needs some work. Why not all eight mongooses? This map could use some filters too. I feel that Juicy and Gloomy would have been great. It would have accecnted the dragon much more. Again, good map but the track needs a lot of work. 3.5/5

    this raises the bar on aesthetic races!. They have been getting more like this recently and this really creates a whole new type of race, well done. And a DL from me!

    This is wayyyy better than I thought it would be, some real skills on show.
    If you spent a extensive amount of time on ideas like this they would surely become one of the great maps.

    This looks great! The dragons head looks really well made and so does the rest of the track. This is a for sure a download from me and i hope that in the future you will make even more maps.

    Hey guys, I'm making a V2 now. Dream, I put the FX on and I gotta say it makes the track look awesome! I just need to know what else people think is needed in the V2 to make it an all round better track. Thanks.

    darn nice mongoose track. The dragon looks pretty good and well forged, and the idea of making a mongoose track within it was just great. That you managed to pull this off was even better because the map ivery good, and althou its short, it provides tons of fun. 5/5

    Indeed an aesthetic masterpiece, although not the smoothest track ever, and in my opinion, not quite feature worthy either. Remember back to when Sky Pyramid got featured. That was only because of one factor of the map, originality. The aesthetics of that map were decently executed, but the way the actual track was built wasn't too good. Now in my opinion, that map wasn't feature worthy either, but it was, probably because MB is a favorite among the staff (no offence meant). Back to the point, your map is genius in aesthetics, ditto in originality, but it isn't really an all around awesome map. 3.5/5

    If you are making a V2, move the shield door on the steep turn down along the side. If someone were to take that turn wide, they will (and did) slide off the side.
