My first linerider on this site

Hello everyone, (i just wanted to say that) this happens to be the same day i joined the site, so i decided why not come out with my first track that very same day, so i put together a really quick 00:12 track that i'll play in color and out of color to kind of show a little bit about what i can do, i would LOVE some quick tips, and ideas since i'm open to anything, and id like to know if i should put more variety in tracks than just the same things... any help would be appreciated. I wouldn't mind if you answered the poll too since it gives me an easy way to tell if people liked it no matter how short. You wont my feelings so be okay with being brutal. enjoy!

I'm using my older computer for this first one, so it may have a bit of a laggy display, sorry if it does.

New question: how long should my next track be? right now it is running at about 45 seconds.. should it be about a minute? closer to two? or like five+?

great job keep it up

ty already putting that advice towards my next track

Worst. Criticism. Ever.
I'll give your track some C&C when I get home from work

okay thank you

I liked it. I know some around here don't like tumbly quirk tracks, but I do. Pretty good first track.

The trick to getting to the next level of trackmaking is learning what tricks string together well. It's nearly impossible to start off amazing in LR (unless you're ZNF or Anomaly ), so watch a bunch of tutorials and awesome tracks for inspiration. Hope to see more soon

T'was good for a first track! I'd advise you to watch some tutorials and just keep on practicing (and you've already got a head start by knowing gravity wells). These two should be enough to get you started:

Nose Manual Tutorial
Nose Fling Tutorial

+Welcome to the site.

Thank you both, CHiH, ill make sure to watch some good tutorials, and AC, i know nose manuals well, just didn't really decide to use too much, and i'm just learning the nose fling that tut will help a lot

Dude..... this is why everyone leaves, let him work at his own pace, like how we all started out.

All blue!

My favorite tutorial (since everyone was giving out tips ): Quirk tutorial 2 - joonas
It's what got me hooked on "quirks"

Good track to be on a early stage. An advise would be to make them a bit longer. And try out some tail manuals, they're fun ;P

U had all the big guys commenting on ur vid
anyways nice track for ur first .. every1 is handing out tutorials, but i learn more from watching other tracks tbh...
oh and learn pro granuals fast!.. i love watching those ^^

It's fairly good for a first.

It needs speed, manuals and some connection between gravity wells.

nice track for your first but really not long enough

Thank you all again, jam ill make sure to connect my g-wells better, hotflash, ill make sure to watch my other tracks, and ill def make sure to learn pro granuals, aspi, ill make sure to watch that tutorial when i have time, and yobanbanjo, i said i wouldn't get my feelings hurt if you were harsh, i really don't mind, but thanks for sticking up for the new guy

Better than anything Sheldon's ever made

How's that for criticism, Shelly?

Ive gotten 3 minus rep for that comment you can stop now he asked for honesty anyways sorry gosh.

yeah lay of sheldon, he did exactly what i asked, thank you sheldon i don't want anything to turn hateful.

I hate sheldon cuz of that comment!!... joke..
gave back some of ur rep cuz u were the only one who commented on my last vid and cuz u didnt do anything wrong here ^^

I actually thought that tumbling at the beginning was pretty cool . You should try adding some manuals and a little bit of length to your tracks, but in no time I can see you getting pretty good .

Summoning, already working on my next track... i'm planning to put all the feedback from this one into it, and i made this one so short to just get it out the same day i joined ill make sure to add more length and tumbling though, thank you

No problem man, if you have any questions or need some help you can PM me if you'd like and I'd gladly help you out ^^.

haha alright

Great job, like the Others said; try to make it longer and stuff, I really liked it.

ABOVE ALL ELSE: do whatever you want to do. This game isn't about rules; It's about making whatever your mind decides to make. Keep riding,

I personally like manuals a lot better than quirk, but that's my own personal oppinion, and you shouldn't be swayed by it. The track was pretty good, but some other things that weren't mentioned was that it was sort of single directional. Try to make him go up and to the left and right as well as down. The flings you're working on will help with that. But even though we're giving you hints to make sure you don't listen to them too much.... Ok, that didn't make much sense.... I guess what I'm trying to say is keep your own style. If someone says to learn hand flings, sure, go ahead, but if you don't want to, then you don't have to. It's your track.
Keep riding!

thank you spl4sh and opal, ill make sure to remember its still my style.. but i do want to try my best to make a track everyone enjoys to watch, ty
