    Description:
    Acheron SX is my first complete supercross map. It has 3 rhythm sections, 3 whoop sections(each one is a different style), 1 triple, 1 table top, and a couple of other jumps on the map. What sets this apart from other SX maps is that two of the rhythm sections are on inclines, that is one one section you go downhill, and on another you are going uphill. The downhill section also has big rolling hills at the end. In testing I discovered that it can sometimes be hard to get up these big hills if you do not hit the rhythm sections right the first time(especially at the start when everyone is still together). If you do not make it up the hill, back up a little and take the hill on the right side of the section, as there will be a shield door to help pop you over the crest.

    Overview

    What inspired your creation?
    SX Maps like alpinestar and surfside, as well as my own map, SX Azure. I'd been wanting to make an SX map for a while now

    How long did it take to create?
    Its taken about 15 hours or so over this weekend.

    What aspect took you the longest to get right?
    The rolling hills at the end of the first rhythm section. Those hills are kinda hard to make consistent.

    I say this a lot but I don't like flat races. But you have made a flat race and added something that I love, motocross. The Ramp, Stunts are, in my opinion, overused in these types of maps but they are the best piece for the Whoops. The uphill and downhill sections are probably my favorite parts. Nice work, oh and you video isn't working.

    Thank you for the feedback. Also, I have fixed the video link so it should be working now.

    Hey I'm in these pictures! So I can tell you first hand that this is one of the most original super-cross races out there. The variable altitudes make it really fun to race and very competitive.

    As us Canadians say, Great work, eh!

    So i just finished watching the video...
    Amazing!!! - All of the jumps are so perfectly placed, it must feel like your landing on a cloud.
    Also that really high humped hill, inside the building with the light, is just amazing!!!
    It is basicaly the perfect hill.
    The map is just so beautifuly forged, and I really think it needs more attention.
    Great job Dude!
