    DESCRIPTION:
    Vigilance, which means watchfulness, is a name that fits this track well. The only way you will be be able to master this track is if you are vigilant. The track is not as straightforward as others, but is simple enough to understand. The track layout is a figure-eight form that spreads out over two levels. Every turn is banked, and the transitions between turn and straightaway are very smooth. The approximate lap time is 20 seconds.

    "The banked turns were very smooth. I loved the ending. I've never seen a track go through itself like that." -Last Chaos 7

    He is referring to the transition in the middle of the figure eight, where two segments of track go through each other by the use of short jumps. The first time you go through here you will be going up, and after the finish you go back to ground level (the lowest the actual track gets.) If you are confused about how this works, leave a post below.

    The trip mine is for Battle Tracks. I expect it isn't too hard to remove it via Forge if you really wanted to.

    I have to say it looks very sloppy.Definetely well made but very sloppy.Maybe you can use some leftover items to clean things up a bit asthetically.Im not big on racetracks but I might give it a DL.

    hey Drst you used what I said about the track lol. Also, Twilight not all tracks have to be asthetic like that town thing or amazingly smooth like it took forever lol. This track was really fun and I had a good time trying it out and the ending is pretty sweet lol.

    This is one of the better short tracks out there. Yes, it does look a bit sloppy in places, but it's smooth, and that's all that really matters. The crossing jumps are a nice touch, although they would get annoying if you get too many people playing. The jump after the checkpoint could have a better landing as you hit pretty hard and bounce a little which makes you lose your momentum and some control as well. The only other thing would be to maybe put a wall at the banked turn before the first jump so that people have to hit the grav lift, because the first time I cut inside on that turn and didn't get enough speed to make the jump. But people will catch on after the first lap, so it's not that big of a deal. Overall, I had a lot of fun on this map and look forward to your next track. JimP factor: 66% Nice work.

    This map is pretty good. The interloccking isn't that amazing there is a bump here and there. But other than that it's kinda fun. 4/5
