    Creator:A deadguineapig
    Map Name:Arctic Thunder
    Map:Avalanche
    Map description:
    The map starts out as high up as you can go on double boxes. You then drop down on a massive hill. Then you go on a bridge bridge thing like the one from glacier rally. Then you go up a massive hill with mancannons boosting you up. From there you take a double box banked turn and then you ride back down onto a double box slight off cambered turn. You then go down a curved hill and down a massive slope which makes you gain so much speed. Then you are back at the begginning.
    Map Spotlight Questionare:
    Q:What inspired your creation?
    A:What inspired me was killer1251's ghost rider and glacier rally parts.
    Q:How long did it take to create?
    A:It took me about 9 hours to make and about 45 mins testing and tweaking.
    Q:What was the hardest part to get right?
    A:Bassicaly everything that involved merging was very hard lol.

    Add some more pics if you can, but from what I can see it looks pretty good. Glad you put up a video anyways. The track looks smooth and it has interlocking, nice. I like the hills but some more banked turns would be great. For the pics show where the lap starts and begins, talk about whether it is cheatable or not, what if you fall off, etc. 4/5

    wow must be a great racing map the ramps looks good and the merging looks okay done. The only thing is there is not much to it. It just looks like a standard map in my opinion. The ramps, the curves, the jumps. Nothing in this map that really stands out. But, thats just my opinion. Okay Job! 4.25/5

    this looks like a good and difficult racing map. More pics plz. Were you trying to sort of get the feel for the midway games' Artic Thunder?

    This map looks neatly made and it looks like it is damn fun to race your friends on. I like how you didn't make it too hard also. Nice floating techniques too. You could add some barriers so you don't fall off on each turn. 4/5

    Wow a race on avalanche that you can actually do without falling off! Nice job, I bet a 1 on 1 race would be superfun.

    shifty123, if you are going to write a comment, at least put some effort into it. You're lucky I'm not in a spam-reporting mood lol.

    The map is definately not long but in this case, I think it's for the best. The racetrack is simple but effective. Players will have enough time and will have driven around track plenty enough to memorise it. Also, it does not look as easy to fall off the track, wheras in many other high-rise tracks you can. You can also build some speed in the straights!

    Definately a nice effort :D

    i absolutely love racetrack maps and this one is defenatly staying in my avalanche section. anyway on to the improvement part the map looks very smooth and all but and yes it does look like you took parts from glacier valley and ghost rider which are both my favourites. although that banked turn looks pretty hard too so if its possible and i dont blame you if you dont want to merge all that stuff again but make it a little less of an angle

    it actually is pretty easy believe it or not lol. And the track actually looks short, but time wise is quite long, longer than wallrider. But thanks for the feedback!

    Pretty good map, it is rather easy to fall off the map though, especially if you are using the shield doors. Interlocking is good, the part where you go onto the ground is a little weird and makes it seem out of place.
