Looks awesome!

Actually I think the point of this level would be to have no trim at the end, otherwise you make it easier, which is not what this level is meant to be.

@pablo: Well, like Matan said it shouldn't have trim in because there's a chance where it could make the level easier.  technostick: Scenery's yet to come! Thanks everyone.  |

Awesome job! When Pablo gets on MSN I'm gonna grill him on how to do curves in QuArK (I only know the basics) like Phil does in his awesome levels. |

Look harder.  There are some curvy paths in the pics. Oakster: That sounds good, I'll be glad to teach ya. I'll be on in about 8-9 hours. |

And there's an inverted banked curve (WITHOUT MISALIGNMENTS) shown in the 3rd and 4th pictures, with each rotation switching from grass to ice. |

Actually in very early testing I passed it too easily |

Note -> MtM uses the new checkpoint code and DTS code form, so that it will not appear in anyone's versions but Phil's and Mine's. New and final staff version to arrive 15th Dec.
PLEASE DO YOUR LEVELS. ELSE WE'LL HAVE SOME DCs GOING BACK TO FINAL.

It's a very nice level indeed. I would not consider it your best, but it is certainly of the same league. I suppose the only possible gripe is that much of it is actually not that difficult at all, but perhaps that is because I was expecting (by the name and the hype) something more difficult. In fact the only thing I could not pass on one try was the inverted banked curve. Other than that I completed the level in 6:44.57 without any other checkpoints. Most of it is great fun because of the "puzzle" and "use-your-brain" challenges, basically none of it is frustrating, some bits are quite easy, but overall I'm very impressed.
