Yes, get it. It's huge on content and so far I liked its level design even more than Evos (haven't seen all in Evo though). One of the best games the 360 library has to offer, easily.
Sounds good. I'll get it after I play the hell out of this one for awhile.

So does doing flips actually help?
Occasionally it will help you get the momentum right, but mostly it is just fun.
It makes you feel like a badass when you pull off a couple and still beat your previous best time. That's basically it.
I guess sometimes you'll take a bad bounce, and it's easier to keep momentum going by flipping and landing on your wheels than trying to correct it by staying upright.

This is my first Trials game (aside from some time spent with earlier demos). It's awesome. I'm actually getting a Super Meat Boy vibe from the whole thing, with the endless retries to improve level times and the focus on mastering the precise physics.
I'm quite impressed with the diversity of the level design so far. I like the variety of scenery and the unique gimmicks.

Had two match-made strangers quit on my friend and I last night as we started this track for the first time. No idea why, at first, but then we learnt the hard way.

OMG... bought this yesterday, downloaded it as soon as I came home from work.
suffice to say I've been playing for ~4hrs with no break whatsoever. This game is pure perfection. Simply amazing. Huge levels, excellent mechanics (I feel that handling and physics are even better than in HD).
Whow...just whow. Almost finished the Medium tier. All gold. Two silvers only so far (gonna get Gold in them later).
...and I still haven't tried multiplayer, or the editor, or the garage... SO MUCH FUCKING CONTENT! \o/

Seems much easier than the first game. I got my A licence without breaking a sweat.

Check out my "photo finish" on Roller Coaster. I thought it ended at the launch, hence the mindless flipping. Only after did I realize there's more to the stage. I managed to end strong!

I know. Crazy lucky I guess. Wasn't expecting that. It was my first time completing the level, so I had no idea
multiple finish lines are at the end.
Over 20mins for me and 30+ bails. Thankfully the Leaderboard uploading is broke sdo none of my mates will ever know! =D

I thought the same, but it must be because I've been plugging away at Trials HD for the last few years, and honing my skills there. If I was coming to Evo cold, I'm sure I would be absolutely rotten at it.
Nah, I think it's a hell of a lot easier too and I haven't played Trials HD for two years, never beat the Extreme tracks and never bought DLC. I'll probably be going back and mopping up now that I'm into Evo though, kinda looking forward to it!

Its better in some ways. Its much more immidiate in terms of navigating the menus, everything loads as quick as you can press the button, evo has load screens.
Also, the physics are aruably better too, evo feels a little stiff. Both awesome, evo is prettier and more varied, HD is a little tighter and better optimised but suffers a lack of enviromental variety.

Oh absolutely. A front flip will carry forward momentum, and a backflip, take a guess! Anyone saying its just showing off isnt a true trials master like me. Ahem.
All achievements done except for finding the squirrels. Now where are you you little bastards! Great achievements in this game. I love the level specific challenges.
*note: please put spoiler tags around any found squirrels. There are many of us who want to find them, or at least attempt to, on our own.

My rank got put back for some reason...?
Multiplayer problems I guess, I think some others had the same problem yesterday. RedLynx say it'll reset to normal when whatever the problem is is fixed.

Easy way to do this, use the 450cc bike instead of the 250cc one. It has a higher top speed and gets over it easily.
You don't turn them off, but they do disappear after a couple of races.
NeoGAF Trials friends list leaderboard 24 hours in:
(sorry for the shitty picture. It's off my phone.)
The goal is in two weeks to take shots of all race and skill games leaderboards. They will be off the first page only, so get a favorite track and get #1 out of all the GAFers! Obviously we will keep these modestly updated as long as there is an interest.
Edit: The list has only 90 players on it. If you are one of the ten that does not have the game, you will be removed off the friends list this weekend if you still have a score of zero. This will make room for those who were a little late to send requests.

I got into the top 500 in the world on the first track yesterday evening, I assume I must've plummeted a fair bit since then.

I hate your scores. Tried to beat them, but we got the same rivalry as in Trials HD. Sometimes you end up high, and sometimes I am ripping your scores apart.
What an amazing game.
man I suck (but its fun). Even on the second set of levels, there are a couple I'm having trouble getting gold on. 'Ridinghood' I feel like I can probably speed up on, but there is one with a 46 second gold target that I just can't seem to do faster than 48 seconds (might be sunset stripped). Do you need to reduce the height on jumps to reduce airtime? Or just wait for a faster bike than the 250cc you get?
Hi guys,
First, thanks for this awesome thread and we're so glad you're having fun with the game!
Couple things - the XBLA servers were *overwhelmed* at times during the last 12 hours but Microsoft has quickly deployed more hardware to address the issues and things are getting back on track.
Second, there are some known issues with the game, largest right now being Multiplayer Leaderboards not recording scores properly and sometimes resetting your progress. It is a known issue and we're working on it!
I can't provide help for other issues here on Neogaf, but please feel free to visit this KNOWN ISSUES thread on our Forums, for workarounds, known issues list, and reporting.

Jenkki, thanks for the informative post. Many wouldn't bother.
I don't understand how demand couldn't have been estimated to be as high as it is/was, but I'm glad something is being done about it, it's frustrating.
The game is amazing all the same though.

Woah.
I think I had a really hard time on this one too but yes, you need to reduce your height on some of them. Play around with pulling the stick back then forward to get further off a steep jump without getting a ton of air. Also you can mix in flips when you get half way off a ramp to flip yourself forward a bit faster.

Hi, just like to thank you for a great sequel to one of my favorite games ever. Well done everyone involved.

Apologies for ignoring the invite, I'm avoiding multiplayer at the moment because I've been reset twice already and it starting bugging me. I'll be there post-update!
