PSA: Trials Tuesday returns next week

By
Steve Melton
– April 6, 2012Posted in: News

From February to August of last year we ran a weekly segment called Trials HD Tuesday. We showcased one user-created track each Tuesday along with information on how to acquire it and our best time on the track. With Trials Evolution coming on April 18 we’re resurrecting the feature as simply Trials Tuesday. Heh, we thought there wasn’t a lot of reader interest, but we’ve had some questions about it returning from fans and even RedLynx.

The general format will remain the same. For the next two Tuesdays we’ll feature Trials HD tracks. Following the release of Trials Evolution we’ll shift the majority of our focus there. We hope to feature a Trials HD course monthly. We’re hoping to post at least one Trials Evolution track every week and to feature a tutorial at least once a month as well. We’d also love to hear your suggestions on tracks to showcase.

Get your helmet on gang, it’s time to ride.

Trials HD Tuesday: Blocks

– August 30, 2011Posted in: Features

Not everyone is a Trials veteran, and even those that are don’t always want to ride incredibly difficult tracks. It’s fitting, then, that Extobo released Blocks, a track that brings things back to basics: a smooth ride in a warehouse setting. There’s no crazy lighting, no cool physics tricks, just plain, simple riding. We love it.

Difficulty: Easy

Trials HD Tuesday Thursday: CS4 Operative 3

– August 25, 2011Posted in: Features

Okay, so it’s two days late. Bame us for gearing up for PAX.

Anywhoo, here’s a great little track from Trials veteran CannibalShogun. It’s setting is that of a world crisis where the rider must get to and disarm a missile. It never ceases to amaze us what the Trials community can do with these tools, and this one is right up there with the rest of the greats. It’s a little short, but it’s a ton of fun.

Trials HD Tuesday: YH-bloody wolf 1.0

By
Steve Melton
– August 9, 2011Posted in: Features

YH-bloody wolf 1.0 is deceiving. It’s listed as a beginner course but beginners will find themselves throwing controllers. It’s not incredibly difficult, but it’s definitely mislisted. Putting that aside it’s a gorgeous silhouette-style track with a blood red background, hence the name. It’s quality and it’s unique.

Difficulty: Beginner

Trials HD Tuesday: Tombstone

By
Steve Melton
– August 2, 2011Posted in: Features

We’re always up for custom Trials HD tracks that make use of the game’s other modes. Tombstone makes use of the Down the Stairs game type, and it does so brutally. Whereas the standard Down the Stairs track is simple, this puts your rider through multiple drops, sets them on fire, then finally smashes them with huge containers. This is one of those “simple pleasures” tracks that should be in everyone’s list.

Difficulty: N/A
XBLAFans’ best time: N/A

Belated Trials HD Tuesday: Dockside

By
Steve Melton
– July 20, 2011Posted in: Features

Here’s an interesting track by THD Net that ‘s themed around riding right near the edge of a busy dock. It’s got all the things you’d expect from the Trials HD community: ambient lighting, a fun theme, and clever use of objects. Dockside is much more about overcoming obstacles than smooth jumps and speed, so this may appeal to some more than others. Nevertheless we give it our approval.

Difficulty: Hard

Trials HD Tuesday: Whistler

By
Steve Melton
– July 12, 2011Posted in: Features

Ah, vanilla tracks. There’s something appealing about going back to basics. Tracks with themes are always fun, but sometimes you just need that default Trials layout. Whistler by JJtheGerman is just what the doctor ordered. It’s vanilla — no crazy lighting, no themes, just a total blast on a medium-to-hard course. This one’s a short, solid course that everyone should have in their library.

Trials HD Tuesday: Afterburner Challenge

By
Steve Melton
– June 28, 2011Posted in: Features

It’s always a fun thing when track creators try to do more than just the standard racing course with challenging jumps and climbs. Afterburner Challenge by iLovePepso is a great example of thinking outside the box a bit. The focus is on using afterburners to get through the course, something that increases the challenge ten fold. Maybe it’s not the first track to do this, but there’s something especially appealing about this particular one.

Difficulty: Hard

Trials HD Tuesday: Contrasts

By
Steve Melton
– June 14, 2011Posted in: Features

Sometimes less is more. There are lots and lots of Trials HD tracks with explosions and huge jumps, but what about when you strip out all but a few basic props and try to create something magical? It’s quite a feat to accomplish, but xXDonReneXx did just that. Contrasts is a black-on-orange setting with a lot of artsy geometry. It’s not overly difficult, but there’s something about it that’s both visually appealing and fun to ride.

Also, we had some questions as to when we’ll be posting a tutorial to upload/download tracks to/from the internet. Well we’ll be making a post to our good friends over at TrialsHD.net explaining the basics of how it works so that they can begin to refine the process and start uploading their files. We’ll let you know when the process is out of “beta testing”.

Trials HD Tuesday: Toxic Facility

By
Steve Melton
– May 17, 2011Posted in: Features

Toxic Facility by jook13 is one of those customs that keeps it simple. It’s got a green, toxic theme. There are no terribly difficult sections, just a fun ride in a simply-yet-effective setting. It’s one of those great tracks when you need to take a breather from the controller-throwing expert tracks.

Difficulty: Medium
