    Map: Forge World

    Track: Sierra MX

    Created By: THE Fuglystick

    Checkpoints: 10

    Average Lap: 1:22

    Estimated Difficulty: Medium to Hard

    Description:

    UPDATE: Version 2 of this map is now on my file share. The start has been moved under the big jump inside the tunnel with the orange light, and the ending has been completely redone, give it a little more of an MX feel. Also, it has been made Battletracks compatible, and I find that Battle lasers works best on this map.

    Alright, so its been a while since I've made a map, but I finallly got my xbox replaced, so one of the first things I did was start work on a new track. This MX map has a little bit of everything, although I didn't make any of the jumps into triples. One of the track highlights is a big drop where you can land on the main ramp, or land in the small opening in the middle of the ramp that lets you take the inside line on a high speed turn. It also has a little piece of sky track at the end, but save for one turn and a mini banked wave., the rest of the map is all MX.

    What inspired your creation?
    Seeing all the new MX maps coming made me want to have another go at making an MX map. They're a lot of fun to do.

    How long did it take to create?
    Its taken about 18 or 19 hours.

    What aspect took you the longest to get right?
    Probably the jump inside the tunnel, or the big drop. I played around with those two the most.

    Looks like you took your time on this one. I myself have never been good at mx-style tracks. The turns look very well made and same with the jumps. You surely know how to forge a map.

    Finally a good race map.
    I hate all these generic race maps that have no eye candy like this one.

    This map has it all:

    - Nature
    - Indoor racing
    - Outdoor racing
    - Jumps &
    - A variety of visual appeal.

    Great job and make more.

    This track is incredibly smooth after you go through it a few times knowing where and how everything is placed. First time I tried this I didnt even know you could fall through to another jump at that one part, I about craped myself. Nice work! Nice video.

    Edited by merge:


    I think this map really is going under-pampered. Haha. I think this track is so awesome. The way you used paradiso is amazing, going up to the cliffs and to the U-Shaped-water area is perfect. I love this map and is one of my favorite MX maps.
