Flatsled/Headriding Contest [ended, poll up]

Ktk wrote:Are pinches allowed?

They're like headriding and flatriding at the same time!

Yes. Just to give you an idea, so are cannons that touch his shoulder, flatsledding granuals (e.g. spidey/foot) hand flanuals (they touch his shoulder too) and stuff like that

@ Devray - awesome

But then shouldn't shoulderflings be allowed too? I don't really get these strange rules. You can't make him flip with a line, but you can do flanuals. It's just weird

edit:
Rabid, come on MSN for a sec, want to ask you about my track, cause I am not sure if I am following the rules correctly. Just wanna talk about it, since they are just so confusing to me

flanuals might not be allowed if he's not touching the line (IE, you make a fling, then an opposing curve afterwards, lolz

^ that's a fake flanual.

@Ktk - not really sure what your example meant, but yes, if he's not touching the line it's against the rules.

Look at it this way:

If he's pushing normally against a line on his shoulder/head or in flatsled, you can do whatever you want, including pinches/gravity/etc, but only WHILE he is touching a line in one of these two ways.

(from ZNF convo - quirky curves are ok, to a point. Just make sure he generally collides with the line, not like he goes past and is jerked by it.)

I'm not that strict, so if you're wondering if you can do something, the answer is probably yes as long as it follows the above rule. Ofc you can ask if you're not sure though

EDIT: I also changed around the OP a little, I think it's clearer now.

Ok, one last question.

You know how we are allowed to catch him by first letting him "manual" a bit then get to the flatsledding part. What if you do not flatsled, but just let him spin, by using this. Especially at high speeds this is nice to do, it gives a nice spin.

no, that would be classified as tipping, if I'm picturing your situation right.

What I mean is, if you make him go into flatsled and for one frame his tail isn't quite touching that's ok. Try to avoid actually making him hit the line in a manual and then collapse, that kind of ruins the spirit of the contest.

May we do a foot fling/well?

EDIT: And an alt fling?

^ um, no. (unless he's headriding or flatsledding while he's doing it)

read the rules, bud.

okay then, good to know.

Ok then, people who've said they will enter:
- MrEmulation ("I guess")
- Z_N-Freak
- Ktk
- King D
- chaomocha
- Devray

Entries are due Saturday, but nobody is done yet. I'll PM everyone involved asking for a progress update. I want to have at least a few entries before I make a poll, and I don't want to cut anyone off, so I might be able to extend the deadline. Remember you should PM me your entry when you're done!

If you're still working on a track, or want to start one, I promise I'll wait until you're done (well, to a point, I won't wait for months )

Since this is the only sort of active contest, I'm stickying it.

904 lines, about 25-30 secs of track. Not that much yet, I at least want to get to 1:30. I'm doing my best to get it done before saturday though, because the week after that I won't be able to do much, since my studies will start and at the beginning of the week we have a camp.

edit:
Picture (that's allowed right?);

I am trying to find the starting point to find out how you did the start

Im not going to be able to do this one. Im going camping from the 27-30, sorry rabid. I wasnt sure when we were going, but now we have a set date, soz.

ok, that's fine. chaomocha said he's not going to enter either, so we're down to 4 possible entries. I want at least 4 before I let people publish stuff, so new people can definitely enter.

remember, all participants get +rep!

I HIGHLY doubt i'll be done by the 29th. Ive got a ton of marching band stuff, and im going to a 'party' with my friends tomorrow. ;_;

Also, ZNF's track looks epic

It's above the smallest loop thingy, just a backwards pinch. Nothing fancy.
and thanks @ above
I am making it a bit more epic though then it was. Trying to implement some tricks that are allowed by the rule involving wells.

Devray, if you're making an entry, I'll be willing to wait. How about....September 6th?

I was going to wait until the last minute to enter so I could be all "SUPRISE ENTRY BLARG " on you guys, but since it seems like the contest is running low on participants to the point where the entry due date may be pushed back, I'll announce myself now: I'm entering.

I has 1077 lines and ~39 seconds so far.

You could have PMed me

awesome anyhow. I am very surprised

we need like, 2 or 3 more serious entries...

My tapeworm 2 as red lines only, highly fastpacing and no quirks or gwells.......

rabod ... i think i might throw a track together for this, got no chance of winning but it looks fun

oh and ZNF ... stop showing off

Insomnia wrote:oh and ZNF ... stop showing off

Why?!

cos your too awesome already, give us at least a small chance of winning

Would you like the track edited and all that stuff or just the recording?
