The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
It's out, lets get some gamertags going so we got a nice pool of times to try and beat. Also there's multiplayer this time so we can set up races and what have you.
lol there's an unlockable shirt for getting the "Ultimate Endurance" achievement in Trials HD, the ONE achievement I could never get. I think it involves doing like 30+ courses without a single fault. Madness.
I'm not great, but more ghosts to race is better than less.
I'm already astounded at how much nicer Evo looks than HD does. The environments are gorgeous, and since I fault a lot I have plenty of time to look at them.
Yeah the way the tracks snake around now is awesome, you'll hit a huge ramp and think you're headed for nothingness and then you land and you roll around a turn to hit another ramp out of nowhere.
Some of the user created tracks are nuts as expected. RedLynx has put up a bunch of their own, some are really clever. I have no idea how they just created a working foosball table or a 2D shooter with the track editor but it's there and it works.
For some reason I thought you couldn't even use the marketplace to buy games or anything with a Silver account? That would be silly, but hey...Microsoft. Wouldn't put it past 'em.
Granted, I haven't turned my Xbox on in at least 6 months or something like that, so I don't really know what I'm talking about.

Gold is only required for Multiplayer and some other Premium Content (Any video apps like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go, etc) - Silver can download demos/games/etc just fine you just won't be able to use the online Multiplayer stuff as far as I know.
XBL Leaderboard servers are hosed right now. I'm guessing this game has been unexpectedly popular.
It's a sequel to either the best or one of the best selling XBLA games of all time, I'm pretty sure it's expected to be popular. Glad to hear I'm not the only one having issues though.
Instead of Trials Evolution, I think I am going to jokingly call it Trials Intelligent Design. I am about 10 medals from getting my A license and the tracks so far have been awesome. Can't wait to get to the Hard/Extreme tracks.

I was playing for a while then I stopped. At that point I realized my right hand was in great pain because of how tight I was gripping the controller. I was pretty damn focused. I am also shit at this and need to turn off ghosts so I can just work on good runs and not worry about you insane people.
I don't know what everybody else's friends list looks like, but I feel damn good about a silver when I see that's all that Allforce has managed so far, too. Other than that one (I want to say the second course in the third tier) I'm all gold so far through that set.
I ran one before being done for the evening. It's neat to play ExciteBike style multiplayer with the Trials physics. Tracks also (at least through the tiers I've played) are unique to multi.
ConfusedWalrus is my nemesis, first in SSX and then when I saw him sign on tonight into this I said "shit there goes my stranglehold on 1st place".
I love how you can straight download tracks now from anyone, I went as far as signing up on the RedLynx forums in order to friend request people for Trials HD tracks. Some of those guys are amazing track designers and a few went on to get their stuff added into that last DLC pack for Trials HD. There's going to be a huge community for this game for a long time as long as those guys are pumping out tracks and I think the tools now are even more in-depth. I mean you can make a FPS or 2D shmup for chrissakes if you want to take the time.
Kafka87. Purchasing now. I also got stupidly good at the first one due to horrible addiction. I'm out of practice, but hopefully should be able to set some good times...
I'm enjoying this so much more than I did Trials HD. Probably because I've matured as a gamer or something and I don't rage out at my failures anymore, I just laugh.
The tracks/environments are so awesome too. I didn't have friends to compete against last time either, so there's alot more motivation to get better and keep going. I feel like a such a boss when I get to a checkpoint before Allforce's stupid white dot. Of course, I screw up shortly thereafter and it goes flying by...
Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
Well, I went through and added everyone from this thread without a full friends' list. Going forward, feel free to add me. I think I have about 13 slots free.

I'm super awful, so I'm guaranteed to make you feel better about yourself!
Now I have to go back and try.

Trials HD is one of my favorite fricking games of the last 8 years or so, and I really want to get this....
...bah humbug.

I'm not great...I did get the Achievement for beating the first game...
Anyways, I downloaded this before work and I'll be playing it as soon as I get off!

Gonna wait a little bit and see if this xbl/leaderboard issue gets sorted.
Your friends list is full.
Boot Allforce, you're much more likely to beat my times

Prolly cause people are playing the game :P
Im pretty sure that the final skill game on the list is a 'Splosion Man inspired thing. Awesome.
I edged out a few of his times on the very easy (:P) tracks. But with that stupid leaderboard business, i dont think they got posted. Dammit.
