    This is a race track that I've worked on for about a week, the first race track I've ever posted. It's got a good starting gate that you can't start early on, A nice smooth Fence Wall curve in the air, and good interlocking.

    Hope you guys enjoy it! :)

    What are some of the things I should improve?

    one thing is you shouldn't have mancannons that super launch you into the shield door. you should be able to build up enough speed for it. at that same part, I fell into a hole on the side of the map. just put some walls in the cracks and it should be fine.

    I was out of walls, so I filled the gaps with bridges. Took out the man cannons too. :)

    Well, not a bad racing map but it has problem. I guess I’ll start with the interlocking. I noticed that some parts of your map lack interlocking, while it might not be a big deal, people will say “No interlocking, no Download” Now this was not the only problem that became clearly visible, I also noticed the J curve if you fall off the J curve you are actually advancing, this can result in cheating, or accidental cheating. That needs to be fixed. I also noticed the Sky curve, if you fall off how do you get back on the racetrack. Normally this is not a bad thing, but the path is not that wide and I expect people to be falling off.

    This was not my only concern as I realized that shield door and man cannon. The problems with these two are that shield doors can flip you, man cannons are messy. If I were to enter the Man cannon at a different angle then intended I could go flying off the race track which is not good at all, shield doors are also a bit messy. They require a certain speed so you don’t flip. So I recommend doing something about them, for the shield door I recommend replacing it with a ramp, but the man cannon is a different story.

    The map has no Aesthetic feature that says hey, maybe the underground tunnel and the starting gate but that’s not much. Another problem with the J curve and Sky path is that they are not wide… Replace it with double wall or double box to make the path wider and avoid less slip offs.

    I also recommend that you make your description larger, not a 5 minute biography of your map but maybe a short 1 minute read, this will tell people that you tried… Also try to give your pictures little sub-titles… Overall you map gets a 3/5 hope that you continue to make more maps.

    I like the map but it seems too easy to fall off. I like the idea of the man cannons and shield walls but they are too dangerous because you can't trust them. 3/5 The map needs more aesthetics.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Since I'm not used to actually posting my maps, I usually don't bother with aesthetics; I'll make my next one look alot better. =)
