You just need people who are better but not leaps and bounds over your skill level to aspire to. Just gotta find the right people to add to your friend lsit.
True. I've added a couple people [hopefully] near my own skill level from the google doc for leaderboard competition. :)

Just bought this, never played a Trials game before.

Don't have gold, are the ghosts and such locked behind that?

This will probably be the last achievement I get in this game. I have only made it about 3/4ths the way through before exploding or faulting.

No, it's only online multiplayer that's locked to Gold. You'll have access to everything else like leaderboards, ghosts and track downloads on Silver.

You can still have a few and just adjust the Ghost Option in the settings to display 'Next/Nearest' only, that way you don't have half a dozen ghosts putting you off.

Adding my gamertag to the list too. The friends implementation is simply perfect in this! Can't get enough of it (though I've had plenty enough of the soundtrack ... ugh).

Basically how Trials goes for all of us:

1. Check Leaderboard, see friends' score
Z73Qg.png


2. Choose a track that you feel you can better your/their score
ZXTee.png


Stage 1: Innocence and determination
F9mOa.png


Stage 2: "I can fucking do this!"

Stage 3: "What the fucking fuck?"

Stage 4: "Why?!?! why can't I land that?"
romaN.png


Stage 5: "FFFuuuu! I HATE this game"
LPFW5.png


Many attempts later...

Stage 6: "Finally"
WhAbQ.png


Login in later that day only to see that your friend bested your time

Stage 7: "..."

With that being said, stupid 'Limbo' stage is pissing me off. I love the aesthetics, but damn if it isn't frustrating. The physics completely change here, and it feels impossible to get a hang of how the bike will react. I have a silver with one fault, but i want that gold so badly. Seems like i just have to get lucky.

How are you guys so good at this game -_-

I play quite a bit but it takes me like hundreds of tries to beat an extreme level.

Argh this game. I have all these dots now that are taunting me as I chase them all the time. I get past them only to fault and they scoot by.

Also, I am about to wear out my back button from restarts.

Sweet man!! Thanks so much :D.

Anyway...my second track is going to be AMAZING!!!! I've been working on it for like three days straight pretty much has taken up all of my time lol.

A very nice poster at the RedLynx Trials Evo forums is taking video requests for custom tracks, so here is my first track Bumpy Tunnel!

Any good guides to the track creator? I mean I made a basic one with no problem, but some of the advanced stuff looks pretty crazy.

Alright, so I'm starting a little weekly event to keep competition up with the community. Every week I will at random select a track to be the 'track of the week'. For the next week, do your best to get the best time possible on the track. At the end of the week I'll post the scores so a winner can be declared!

All the information will be in the second post, which is being quoted below:

Ever week there will be a featured track that you are encouraged to tackle and get the best score possible.
At the end of the week the top scores of the track will be posted and a winner will be declared!
*Must have the GAF gamertag on your friends list to participate

This weeks track: Redlynx Moto-Jam

Neogaf Trials. But it's full :(

Edit: Great first track pick btw. I've been practicing with that and I think I'm starting to understand how to utilize the back wheel to get past obstacles. I'm also trying to use maps where the climb requires doing a wheelie for the first part and then you press forward to have your back tire hit the second ramp to continue quickly up. That momentum is so important. I'm so happy that there are replays in this game.

Awesome! I'll get some times in but I need to focus on my track creation too. Decisions decisions.

Today I found out the hard way that you don't need 0 faults to get Gold. FFS, my stupid OCD.

Does it vary by track or is there a universal Bronze/Silver/Gold fault threshold?

My 360 just red ringed and it's out of warranty

=(

oh shit :( well, Trials aint going anywhere. we still have a few good years left.

see if there is a pc repair type place local to you. you might be able to get it fixed for like $50.

You can still have a few and just adjust the Ghost Option in the settings to display 'Next/Nearest' only, that way you don't have half a dozen ghosts putting you off.

yes this is what everyone should be doing, but that wasnt my point. you need to view replays of people better than you by a certain margin. watching people at your skill level doesnt help and watching the top 20 people on the leader boards only helps if you can somewhat emulate what they are doing.

you need friends that are better than you, but not far far better so you can see how they play. there are pretty defined levels of skill in this game. it feels great getting to that next level. then you look at the top 20 guys and still feel like shit!

but yes, you should probably set ghosts to only display your nearest friend. much less distracting and much more useful.

Argh this game. I have all these dots now that are taunting me as I chase them all the time. I get past them only to fault and they scoot by.

Also, I am about to wear out my back button from restarts.

the back button is constructed well luckily.

also, read above. turn off all of those extra dots! you only need one.

just had my first 500 rset limit met on a Extreme track. feelsbadman.

welcome to TRIALS! think of this as the beginning. :p

Vary by track, I believe.
Aw damn.

I really want to make a track, but I'm lacking some inspiration ATM. I always try for themed creations. Was considering remaking the final scenes in The Italian Job as a Supercross track but it's lost it's luster for me after thinking about it for a bit.

Tracks don't really start allowing you to get faults and still gold until the end of medium or beginning of hard IIRC so you probably had to 0 fault most of your runs.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Just got this game tonight. Really dig this game. Already got some high scores on leaderboards with about 10 or so friends! Get at me.

i just glanced at the squirrel guide.

there is NO WAY i would ever figure some of these out without a guide. i dont even know how people found some of this shit.

im just going to assume everyone who get this achievement used a guide for at least a few of them.

Scared the shit out of me. Well done.

Will give this a try.

Today I've been playing Silhouette Redux. It's a fantastic track, with a cool vibe to it - reminded me of the Wii game Lost in Shadow. Glad it was suggested in here.

Will give Bumpy Tunnel a go, too.

Haha, I made it with like 497 attempts and about a minute left on the clock I think:D What a sigh of relief that was!

Finished another track yesterday. Sylisticly average compared to what others are coming up with but it's fun! Search by my Gaf name if anyone wants to give it a shot.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I haven't been able to play a multiplayer match since launch day.

Whenever I go into Quick Match, that game sits there waiting for players. Occasionally one person will pop up, but then leaves again.

WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME!?!?!?

Doing it myself (again), the kit from llamma should be here friday, getting a heat gun to reflow it.

Maybe I'll be back online before I drop out of the top 1000. :lol

Finally done all hard tracks (just bronze on most, but surprised myself by silvering a few first time).

What do you think will be harder - trying to get silver on all hard tracks (not going to try and attempt gold) - or platinuming the easy/medium tracks?

Don't think I'm even going to try the extreme tracks until I've had more practice.

I found getting gold on the Easy/Medium tracks was much easier than getting Silver on the Hard ones. Even then, the first set of Hard ones is relatively easy compared to the last set. I still can't get higher than Bronze on Down In The Dumps!

From my experience getting platinum on easy/medium is harder than silver/gold hard tracks. But it´s really track dependent, some are "easy" to platinum and some are a real bitch.
 
I have gold on everything up to extreme except Gigatrack, even managed to gold The Wreck, Way of the Ninja and The Truth is Out There on extreme but Gigatrack eludes me
