(any racing gametype will work, I am merely providing the gametype that I use on all my racing maps, for those of you who dont already have one.)

This is my first and most likely last map here of Forgehub. I'm not a very active forger, but I know many advanced techniques that I use whenever necessary to improve my map.

This map is based off of Dark Zero Zero's race map "Icicle". I had downloaded his map, and found that it was one of my favorite race maps on Avalanche, but there were many flaws. For one, there were a few parts that weren't very smooth and could use improving. Also, it wasn't cheat-proof. He does however deserve a nice chunk of credit.
I took his map and re-did a good half of it. The only thing that hasn't been changed at least a little from the original is the first jump/landing. I could find no way to improve upon that.

This race map is EXTREMELY smooth and 100% UN-cheatable. That means on mongoose and on foot. There is also no way to skip track on mongoose to take a shortcut. No honor rules needed.
My favorite feature of this race is its speed. almost all of the track, you can go full throttle, and normally be fine. You will roll a few times, but they can all be landed without getting off the mongoose, and won't loose much speed.

Screenshots (in order, so it's a walkthrough of the map) (click for hi-res)

Starting point

First Jump

Landing after first jump

First turn, somewhat tight, but sheild door assisted so you dont loose speed

Not really finish, as it is in the middle of the race, so...
Point-counting line -- Completely un-cheatable
If you go off the grav-lift you can see, than you will die, whether you are on mongoose or foot. The other gravlift (the one you see first in the race) will safely transport a mongoose across, while on foot, you will go OVER the point line and not trigger it.

Tunnel - with grav-cannon at the end. Full speed ahead!

Landing zone for the cannon

Golden hill, after a U-turn

shield door assisted turn after the hill

Jump over the power cores!

Wide-open straight-away

The last jump

The last landing

Back to the beginning!

I hope you all enjoy my race! There is still some money left over in forge mode so that it's left open for future improvements by myself or any of you. If you use it to improve upon it, please just remember to mention me!

A little word of advice - It's rather difficult to make long-range jumps that you land every time. They are very easy to land, but you still can miss them. For most of them, just aim for the center of the ramp and you wont have any trouble.
