WRTL Newsletter #17 - March 2016

• You may have heard that @Conundrumer's track, Ragdoll, went viral a couple weeks ago, accumulating over 400,000 views in a matter of days. This was the coolest part of the first Line Rider Track Jam, which was a smashing success. Read more about it below in the Engaged Riding section.
  
• The Tournament of Legends is getting close to the end. Round 4 got us down to 16 videos, and now we're partway through Round 5, which will narrow us down to just 8 videos. There are only 2 videos to watch per poll now, so it's easy to participate!
  
• New Featured Movie: The Gorge by OTDE & Cereal
  
• @Lukking has succeeded in creating an infinitely repeating track!
  
• Quick Reviews with OTDE & Rabid have now reviewed i squared, Improbability Dance, and Assault!
  
• Unfortunately, @Sorvius deleted all of his Line Rider videos off YouTube, shortly followed by Shotoku/@Fauxfyre. Some of Sorvius's videos have been recovered and can be found here. Shotoku filed a copyright takedown notice, so his recovered videos are currently unavailable, but the videos were uploaded for archival purposes and therefore are a valid exemption from copyright law, so a counter-notification has been submitted. Most of his videos have been recovered, and they should be back up soon.

• Ragdoll by @Conundrumer - An utterly hilarious offsled track in which Conundrumer literally makes Bosh dance to music. A must-watch, and not just because it went viral.
