    MX-Mas


    [​IMG]

    Track Name: MX-mas

    Map Name: Tempest

    Creator: THE Fuglystick

    Average lap time: 1:24

    Time to beat: 1:18 - THE Fuglystick

    Description:
    This my second nationals track, MX-mas, as well as my second map on tempest. It was supposed to have christmas/holidays theme, but when I was done with the track I had a limited budget/object quantity and I had virtually no ideas for how to decorate. Beyond some object coloring and one nicely decorated tree it has no christmas-specific aesthetics. Despite that, I still think that this is challenging, yet very entertaining racetrack.

    Update: I added some more aesthetics to the map. I encourage you to download the map again, but its not really necessary since nothing track wise has changed. Its just got a joshua and some extra christmas coloring in some parts.

    The starting ramp spawns at 20 seconds.

    You take the ramp down, then head back up to a jump over part of the track. Dont worry if you don't make it, you can drive up one of the stunt ramps to get to the next checkpoint.

    On the other side of the hill you pass an intersection as you race along the cost, then come back and hit the intersection again.

    You then head into the caves. The path splits as you exit.

    After that you head back under the jump you hit at the beginning and head towards the cave and a small whoops section.

    Do your best to maintain your speed as you exit the whoops and head up the ramp into the big rhythm section(it goes from base to base) so you can land all the jumps perfectly.

    After the rhythm section you take a turn around the spire and past the Christmas tree back over the starting area.

    What inspired your creation?
    I really wanted to try making another nationals track, since I had a lot of fun making SX Azure.

    How Long did it take you to create this track?
    I didn't really keep track, but I want to say that this took me probably close to 20 hours.

    What aspect of the track took you the longest to make?
    The base-to-base rhythm section. It was the first part of the track I made and it took forever to get right.

    I Really like this. It's one of the only maps that has a good flow to it. You don't catch any sharp turns or bumps. I love the part where you go into the dip in the ramp between the colesium windows. I love the christmas color aesthetics too. Great job!

    Try using flag holders to decorate the trees, i bet they would look like silver snowflakes.

    joeyshofe, I'm going to need a link to a film clip on your file share before I can believe you got a lap that fast, but I'm glad you still liked the map.
