This ghost racetrack will kick you in the face. Trust me, I’ve see it.
This is the Valley of Fear, my racetrack that uses ghosts. That's right, ghosts. After almost a years of experimenting with ghosts, I've come to a conclusion, they kick ass.

Overview
follow the red line
(it was difficult capturing all the terrain in one shot)
The Jump
I believe, and correct me if I'm wrong, that this is the biggest, non gravity altered, jump in Halo 3. And negotiably the funnest.
An interesting angle
"They look so small from up here"
The jump's lip is flat, which is unusual, considering the distance achieved. Keep straight, and boost.
This is the fun part
The landing can be tricky, land flat and don't use boost or you'll fly off.
The Other Jump
Powered my three man-cannons, this is a jump worth watching out for.
The jump flies you over to what us snowboarders call a hip. This is a slanted landing which softens the land and involuntarily turns and speeds in the direction of the slant. This can be very tricky, as you can see in the picture below, it is good if you go off the jump straight, and land flat or slightly on your nose.
A view of both jumps, with a blue tinge from the cannon.
The Rest
Immediately after the the last jump the track shoots up to ~70 degrees, which is tricky because the ghost tends to overturn. Keep steady and you will reach the rainbow wallride.
The Rainbow Wall Ride is one of my favorite parts, it really gives a sense of weightlessness.
After that is a banked turn and a little hill and your at the big finale. Watch out, falling of at this point isn't very forgiving.
More Screanshots!
Disclaimer
I was infracted because i posted the rest of the pictures as the first post because of the picture max. Apparently this is a double post so that post with the extra pictures was deleted. I solved this problem by merging some on the pictures together, so the twenty picture max is met but you still get to see this map fully.
When i say that this map has the biggest un-gravitty-altered jump in Halo 3, i am basing this fact on what i have seen, if you know a bigger jump, please post and i will re-word myself.
I am not a racetrack fan, i like building them, not racing them. This is very low on the list of my favorite custom games, but it is my favorite racetrack.
