Final Effort
By killer200o and Egodude

A mosaic of the 7th Column

Description: The map starts out with a banked turn leading to an pitch alternating straight away that takes you from leaning to the left to leaning to the right. You then turn under the alternating straightaway over a bridge into a short spiral like turn. After a short jump you proceed into a backflip and into a straight away. Then you going into a tight turn and into a huge jump through the 7th column symbol and back to the start.

Nice racing map, there is a lot of turns and curves according to the pics I'm seeing, and the interlocking is great and smooth, the most important part of a track unless it's a dirt bike made track. I also like the design put into it and your vid covers all of the map, great race map.

This is a nice race map compared to others altough, this map could use some touching up, some of the interlocks are really messy and dont add to the asthetics of this map. 4/5 maybe add an FX orb

I am not going to put an FX or on this map. I personally hate FX, they were made for screenshots and I think it should stay that way.

Okay I tried to ignore the fact that you had a guy with recon in your map, but a lot of maps have had this recently. Why is this? And also, in every map where this is the case they never provide an overview of the map, only pictures that say "look, I raced with some guy/guys with recon"

However, I'm glad you provided a vid because otherwise we wouldn't know much about the track.

There are a lot of unique things in theis racetrack, the main thing being the weird jump involving interlocked teles that sort of make the mongoose corkscrew to the left mid-jump in an awkward way. I like it, it seems to do the same jump each time no matter which angle/speed you approach the jump at.
Another cool thing I noticed is the upside-down arches along the outside edge of one of the corners of the track. Although they could be cleaner, I really like the structure idea. And the 7th column in the centre is pretty good too, albeit a bit wider than a real one.

A very good map, and not just because of the flashy flaming helmet recon guy.
Did you make that mosaic yourself btw?

I love the jump through the seventh column and the back flip. They are epic. Well done on making this great track.

EpicFish: Egodude made the mosaic but I collected all the screenshots for it.

This map is pretty cool I played on it and raced around ten laps on it with my guest... my guest said that the curby road part was bumpy but It kind of had to be lol I liked that part alot... some of the interlocking isn't very clean and alot of the straightaways aren't interlocked which takes from the asthetics of the map... The backflip works really well and I like that part... you should have made 2 so 2 people could go off it at the same time that would be sweet becuase it probably would cause problems in a game lol... The seventh column thing is pretty cool too =) 4/5

Ok, wow.....you can't fully appreciate this map until you actually watch the linked youtube video, or play it.

4.7/5....I love the 7th Column and the filp, gameplay is very smooth (even the banked turn that gives it that "off roady" feel.) The .3 was deducted simply because I'm a big fan of those seemingly impossible turns that require you to manipulate the camera in all different angles and there are none of those, but still a truly amazing map, the first backflip I've seen on Sandbox.

You have to play this map! It is sick. The two main jumps that you go off of are sweet. Sometimes you can get perfect backflips or even 360º back flips which are sick. Nice work! It is a must download!
