    What inspired your creation?
    I just wanted to make an amazing, fun racetrack in the skybubble, add some tunnels, create some sweet banks and use lots of hight!
    My original idea before i started making this track was to make a tornado theme, so going up through the centre and come back down in loops but unfortunatly it didn't come together. Still, i didn't give up and just let track flow.

    How long did it take to create?
    Don't ask...seriously. But if you must know it roughly took about 25 hours over a 2 month period. Lots of changes had been made to improve this track.

    What aspect took the longest to get right?
    The bumpy area after the first hill, i had to recorrect the position due to decreasing the steepness of the hill. It took me many trials and errors to correctly join it back to the track that lead off to the left. Still not smooth but its the best i can do. Also, the ending between the two tunnels have been changed a number of times to give a smoother, more thrilling ride!

    Wow!

    *FIRST*

    i have to say, i'm extremely i impressed with this map. I think that gameplay wise it would work very well. Aesthetics look great. Turns look nicely interlocked and very smooth. The hills look pretty good too. only about 1-2 that looked odd from the camera angle. but i bet it'll play fine. great job. 5/5, you deserve this one buddy!

    This map looks like alot of fun! Parts of the map remind me of some kind of rollercoaster, and I'm sure when you are playing it seems like one. The turns look smooth and the interlocking looks pretty nice also. I also like the double decker starting area. Nice post and I will dl and give it a try.

    I have but one concern. On the first part of the map (the red area), you can easily just go off the red part going up, onto the red part going round, you can jump off of that onto the red part going towards the finish line, which is cutting half the map out.

    The map is good. The layout is very unique and is way better than the first version. I just think that you should add some shield doors on the box turn right before the wooden bridges because it's hard to notice after coming up the hill with full speed that a turn is coming up. Also I did break your map, it's hard but I did do it. I can show you how if you want, but other than that good job. 4/5
