A Trip Down Memory Lane?.

I submitted my first game in Sept 2005. Since then so much has changed. It?s amazing to ponder....

When I first started, PrayeR was the TTC champion with a page full of medals including lots of golds. Oliver was King of the Standard pack and held lots of Standard golds. Rachman was revered as ?The Greatest Bike or Die Player Ever? in the eyes of many. There was no ghost bike, no golden club, no medals by country, no chat, no fullscreen movie viewing, no updraft, no flash movie maker, no bonus points, no total race, and the Freestyle competition was actually kinda fun

I remember when I first commented on my Underground game (page 174 of the forum

) and then since I didn?t know that when you comment on an individual game, your comment automatically gets put into the forum, so I wrote the same comment like 3 times in a row in different places and then realized later that all three comments were back to back in the forum (I didn?t even know there was a forum)

*I remember PM?ing Kris and telling him how excited I was to move from #92 to #35 on Sinus Mountains in 1 day

*I remember Kris had 22.22 on Double Sprint and I had 22.06 and he said?? hmmm, maybe I?ll try to beat you Double Sprint? and I thought he?d never do it cause I knew how many tries it took me to get to 22.06

*I remember when I thought I was the first to discover the RSP2 spring trick and posted 12.40 at #12 only to realize that Vin had posted the trick just days before me and collecting 29 Freestyle votes for it.
*Oliver?s Double Sprint 20.72 was ?unbeatable? and almost ?unhuman?.
*Everyone thought The Veenk held the eternal gold spot on Underground with 17.16.
*Rachman had gold on Malysz with 41.70

*Oliver?s 12.10 on The Well was the gold. Now it?s not even top 10.
* The Summer Pack had just been released and Prayer was still actively commenting in the forum about it.
*5 new levelpacks have been added since.
*I should be put in jail for the amount of time I spent on my 4 level movie pack.
*The #1 TTC spot changed hands ranging from PrayeR to DK to Cirenco to Aleksey to Alex to Mike Flips. Vin held a strong #2 position with a page full of medals behind only DavidKing in the TTC when he announced his BoD retirement in the forum. And now Mike Flips holds the record for longest continuous streak as #1 in TTC.
*I saw Vin and Louis come and go.
*I saw Alex, Gus, Kenzo come and go.
*Cirenco?s entrance was unparalleled and probably will never be equaled. Unfortunately his departure will also likely never be equaled

*Kris designed more levels and created more BoD webpages than everyone and all their moms put together during the time that all of the above happened

Yessir, I done seen a lot come through these here parts.
