    [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]DESCRIPTION:[/FONT]
    [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Volcanic Ash is my second racetrack on Sandbox. It is centered around a main aesthetic; hollowed out remains of a volcano. The spawn is inside here. Once you leave the volcano, you come around to a banked turn around the volcano, and then back around for another banked turn which drops you into the volcano for another lap.[/FONT]

    This racetrack looks really good. What i look for in a track is something that makes it better then any other level. First, it is in the crypt, never done before to my knowledge, and it has a very nice aesthetic feature, the volcano, that makes it nicer. The turns look smooth and well constructed so this earns a download from me.

    I'm sorry, but your knowledge is flawed. HaZaRdz xx has already made a track called SandStorm in the crypt.

    Thanks for the positive reviews. You guys can expect more tracks from me in the near future.

    The banks are nice; no doubt about it, but the rest of the map is kind of a mess. The handling gets a little tough, and its generally just bank after bank; its a little repetitive. Also, if you fall of, its a pain. The sky bubble is great for race tracks because you die automatically and respawn where you need to. I know you use it, but using it completley could make the difference. 2.8/5, Nice bank interlocking and some nice aesthetics.

    The handling is tough if you don't know what the **** you are doing and have never set foot on a racetrack before. Come on, seriously? And you really have to try to fall off of this track. And from your statement about repetitiveness, I can bet that you've probably never used a BattleTracks gametype before.

    No offense was meant in this reply and I hope that there was none taken.

    No offense? You were swearing at him. You just need to take the criticism and apply it back to your map. And yes the map is repetitive with the bank turns. Also, the interlocking is a bit sloppy, 3.5/5.

    You have just successfully made me quit ForgeHub. Please tell me where any of that criticism applies to my map.

    Oooh this is really neat! I really like how you fit room to make a race track in the Crypt, and the filter really adds to the atmostphere. My favorate part, however, is the fact that it twists and turns within itsself to create a rollercoater like race map.

    I don't agree with previous comments about the maps repetitiveness, I raced on it and I liked it just fine.

    I thought the map was ok. It was pretty smooth but there were some bumps. It is not the longest race map but it is pretty long. 3/5
