I don't like the one where you have to go through all the dense trees. I think Son of a Birch is it's name, but I can't remember. All the courses look the same.

i think most of the courses are easy, dodgy physics are what bug me, and when the camera goes off axis now and again an the screen sorta shakes when you spin and flip.

i hate son of a birch too, but for some reason on the rocks kinda bugs me as well, i guess its cause u go down the mountain too fast and its somewhat steep, and i havent found a good line yet, the cave part is kinda anoying too, is there any way to avoid that?

Any course with massive amounts of trees just annoys me to no end. I'll be boosting through (or comboing through) and then out of nowhere run into a poorly placed tree that takes me out. I'd lose all kinds of time or a huge combo and have to restart just to do it again. Effing trees.

When you're on a series of bad runs, I've discovered, Between the Sheets is not the best course to try next. I'm fine on it when I've been doing well, but if I'm on a tear of bad runs, BTS just makes it worse because I seem to hit every fucking tree there is, and mess up when it's impossibly to mess up.

I think Roadkill is the worst course in the history of the SSX franchise.

Yeah and it doesn't help that even if you don't TOUCH the tree it resets you anyways.

Personally, I don't find tree sections that bad. There's pretty much one path through it that you know was put there intentionally for you to get through it with.

As for my least favorite track (as I don't see any of them as being really frustrating), it would have to be... okay, I can't remember the name and I can't be bothered to look it up right now. It's the track that has that log at the very end of the ice river shortcut (you know, the one that will literally flip you over if you hit it anywhere near full tilt).

You're probably thinking of Half-Banked, that course bugs the hell out of me as well. :[

I have to go with Son of a Birch and Roadkill. Son of a Birch because there are way too many random trees all over the place, and Roadkill because there's really nothing there and I can never get a lead there.

The roadkill course is dull and dirty if you miss the shortcuts.

Yeah, Roadkill is rough and so is White Knuckles. There's just so damn much you can slam into.

I hate Between the Sheets. I can never hold a combo in that place without running into a freakin tree.

Same with me, except it's even harder for me on White Knuckles and Son of a Birch.

i actually like roadkill and between the sheets since i can nail all the rails and i have a decent line, but mind the gap is starting to get pretty dull since i cant find a better line, i seem to do the same thing every single time on that course

i know theres three or four different splits but they all lead to the same place and the course is so god damn easy, you cant get off the rails even if you wanted too and if u do fall off, theres a rail every two feet

Edit: im going off topic, i guess mind the gap isnt really frustrating, its just kinda boring since i cant improve my time anymore

Eric I agree completely. The first time grinding through was a blast, but once I realized that I hit the same rails every time no matter how I started it lost the appeal. I'd like to see the possibility of grinding through a track wthout being practically forced to do so.
