Found a TON of tracks.......

[VDR_KAW503]

hey  guys.....

   Some of you might  remember  me as  VDR_KAW503. I was  racing online  about  every  friggin' night for  about  5 years  strait. Anyways....I came across some  "un-marked" cd's  the  other day ,  that have a ton of  tracks on them.  I then called my  little  brother Josh ( VDR_JUGHEAD503) and he said he had found  11 more CD's  chalked  full of  tracks too.  I'm going to be  getting  them from him , and making one  huge  library of  tracks.  I am then going to put  them  onto a  couple DVD's and  wanted to  mail them to  Madmac over  at  MCM factory , so he can get them uploaded to his  server.

I tried  emailing  him  through the  madmac@gmail.com  address  he has on the site , but  i just did that this  morning. I don't  have all that  much  spare time to upload possibly a 1000-1500  tracks , so i  want to send them to him.

I was just wondering , if the guys here at  TD might  like  a couple copies as well?  I'd  send you guys a  couple copies of all my  tracks and you can upload  them  here is you have  server  space.

I would  have done this  sooner , but i  JUST  found  these  cd's  yesterday.  Not even sure  exactly  which ones i have , or how  many.  I do ahve  quite a  few of the  tracks on the  "missing nationals"  list over on  MCM factory though.

HEY....i  think i  possibly  have  this  one  track , ( my favorite)  called  "HAIR OF THE DOG" and  i think  either  TNT_Shovelhead or  TNT_Gravy  made  it.  IF i  don't have it , do  any of  you  other  guys  have  it?  I loved  that  friggin'  track!

And  does  VRT_Tomato  still  post here  at  all?  gary....if you see  this....What's up my  brotha!!??!!??

Great to hear from ya Kawi, There are some sites still active in mcm2, MDXracing.com, etc, I know Bruce (AMA DirtTwister) grabbed alot of tracks, not sure where they are though. 

VRT is still around at http://www.bluescreations.net/e107/news.php  and Yes, VRT_Tomato is still around, he mostly hangs out at http://www.misfitstoyshop.com/forum/index.php


Team VRT and MDX recently had a MCM2 reunion, had a small turn out of 25 racers, but was still fun.

[VDR_KAW503]

Thanks  Rideblue....good to see you  again!  Don't  know if you  remember  me or not.  I still have  quite a  few of  your  tracks i  found  too.  I  just  took all my  "found"  tracks  tonight , and i have  626  nationals , 111 SX tracks and  20  "unknown"  tracks.  I wasn't  sure  where to  unzip  them into the  terraform , so  i'll play with  those  later.

quick  question......I have  been gone so long , that i  guess i need a  "TD High RES"  file?  They had  already  started  getting the  high res  tracks and bikes  out  before i  quit  playing , and i  was  able to  play  them. But for  reason , i can't  find  the  file  now.  Where  the  heck can i  download  this here on this  site?  Also.....maybe  i'm  going  blind , but  what  happened to all the  tracks  that we're  converted  from  MX vs ATV?  weren't  there a  bunch  of  those?

Anyways....i have  about  750 or  so  track , without  even getting  my  brothers  CD's  back.  I'm  hoping  i  find a lot of the  good old  tracks.  It  looks  like  the  last one i  downloaded  was  on  10-24-03.  I download a  ton more  after  that  date , but  lost  all of  those  when the  HD  went  belly up on  my  computer.

I'm  gonna  go install  some of the  old  greats  and have some  fun  tonight...WOOHOO!   

BTW....i  found  the  "hair of the dog" track...the file was  called  "hotdog2"....knew i'd  find  it.

I remember ya bud, mdxracing.com has alot of tracks too, along with a recorder etc, racing rooms too.
Here is the TD downloads  http://www.twisteddirt.com/tddownloads.php

why not make a torrent of the tracks

[VDR_KAW503]

hey  MM...i would  gladly  do that , except i don't have  any kind of a  torrent  program on this  computer.  I haven't  quite  got  the  Torrent"  thing  down yet , or  how to use the  damn thing.  BUT....i'm  glad you  posted  here , because you we're the  next  person i was  going to get a hold of.  I  visited and  registered over at  MDXR  the  other day , and saw  that  you guys  had a ton of  new  stuff  over  there.  So , i was  going to  write you  as  well , and see if  you  wanted  some  DVD  copies  of  all my  older  tracks  as  well?  I think  between  this  place , MDXR and  MCM Factory , you guys  have  almost all the ones i have , but at  least you can  cross  refferance  them to  make  sure.

   Since i  haven't  played  this  game in a  few  years , it  amazes  me  that  all  this  new  stuff  came  out.  New  bike  models  and  such....i  didn't  know this game was  still  kicking  like  this.  I was  around  when  TD  released  the  High res  CRF 450  bike , but  until a  couple  days  ago , i  didn't  know  you  had  created  even more  bike  models.

I can't  get  them and  some of  the  other  things to  work  yet.  I have  the  TD high res  Global and Eco files installed , but i  don't  know  what to do , to get  any of  this  new  stuff  going.  I'm  missing  something , and  since it  was  all common  knowledge  a  few  years  ago , nobody  ever  talks  about it on the  forums....makes  it  almost  impossible to  figure  out  what i  need to do.

Anyways... MM....if  you want to  shoot me  an   email at   huber7740@comcast.net , i will get  you  all the  tracks i  have  as  well.  I'm  still  waiting  on my  brother to  come  over  so i can  grab all his  tracks  as  well.....then i'll burn the  DVD's and get  them  sent off.

[VDR_KAW503]

Hey  gary!!   dude  , it's  so good to  hear  from you!  I was  hoping  i would  run  into you  again some  day.  i  figured  the MCM2  game  would  lure  most of  us  out  of the  cave  at  sometime.  I'm  like you , i hadn't  played  in  about  4  years or  so.  I then  lost a  hard  drive on my  computer , and  lost a  huge  amount of  my  favorite  tracks.   I have  been on a  mission  this  past  week or  so , and  have  found , and am  still  finding a ton of  all my  old  favorites....That's  includes  a  few  of  your  man!  You got  really , really good at  making tracks Gary!


  Well......long  story , put  shortly.  I was  riding and  racing pretty  hard core  all the way up  until  2-1/2  years  ago. I had a  pretty bad  wreck with  another  rider , and  spent  almost  two  weeks in the  hospital  with  punctured  lungs , and about  30  broken  bones.  I  did  ride  again  after  that ( even before the  doctor  released me) but it  messed up my  head a  little  to....mentally  anyways.  When i got back on the  track , i was a  little  gun shy , and  always  wanted to  know  where  everyone  was  at.

The  wreck i  had , wasn't  really my  fault.  I was  running a  really big  indoor  arena cross  track  for  about  3-1/2  years , called  "hindsight MX" , for  the  same  guys i  worked  for , for  years  in  construction. I  helped build the  building , and  brought in all the  dirt , and  made  all the  tracks.  I  trained  kids and  adults  the  sport of  MX , and  even had a  ton of  kids i  trained  i n  private  lessons  at the  track.

back to the  wreck : a  guy i  knew  from  idaho  which  turned  pro a few  years  before i met  him , came  over to  ride.  he had  been telling  me how  fast he had  gotten since the last time  we  raced together at  washougal. He  had  been talking a bunch of  smack , so i  invited  him  up to a  special Hindsight MX  night.  I built  the  track pretty  knarly , with some  big 70'  triples  and  so  forth.  well...he  showed up , nervous as  hell , and  wasn't  talking  smack  any  more  HAHA!!

he  watched  me  practice  for  about  an  hour  before  he  decided to  come  out. And  when he  did the  dumb s.o.b.  went  backwards down  the  start strait , and  we  hit  HEAD  ON!  We we're  both  2nd  gear  pinned.  It was i a  weird  part of the  track that  you  couldn't  see  each  other  coming from  either  direction. I had just cleard the big  triple in the  middle , landed with the  gas ON hard , and took this  big  sweeper  corner out  wide ( the first turn going the other way) and he  had  been  coming  down the  start strait  backwards completely  pinned.  There  we're  people  chasing  after  him , to get him to stop , but he  said he  couldn't  hear  them.

i did  over  $2500.00  worth of  damage to  my  450 ( which the  track  owned but let me  ride and  race it). Bent the  front  forks , smashed the  front wheel to  almost  flat , and pushed the  radiators clean through the 6" gap on the  spar frame.

damn it...i  even lost about  1" off my  left  middle  finger HAHA!!

BUT.....good news  is , i just got  done  riding a  buddies  08' YZF 450  for  3  weeks.  I am  out  of riding  shape , but by the  end of the  3  weeks , i  don't  feel  like i  lost  any  speed , just  my  endurance , and  i  don't  really feel  gun shy at  all!  i  fell  really good!  So.....i think i  may  get  another  450  this  spring. maybe  going  back to the  kaws , and  looking  at the  new  KXF450.

hey....one  more  thing  though.  since i  took all that time  off  from  MX , i  found a  new  hobby  that  really , really  enjoy!  It's a  friggin blast , and i'm  gettin'  pretty  good  at  it....RC  airplanes!  i know , i  know , sounds  kind of  gay , but  listen. I have some  airplanes  from  89" wingspan , up to  123" wingspan.  50cc to 170cc  motors  using  32" props on the  front.  I'm  into the  3D type  flying  and  whip the  crap  out  of  an  airplane. It's  the  only  hobby  i have  ever done  that  takes  my  mind  away  from  racing.  If you  ever want to  check a  site  out  that  has  everything to  know  about  big RC  aircraft , check this  site  out >>>>   http://www.flyinggiants.com/ .    I  practically  live  there!


Anyways  gary..... hey , if  you  ever want to  shoot the  sh!t , my  email is  huber7740@comcast.net.  Shoot me  an  email , and i'll send you  some  pics of  my  big  birds  i'm  working  on.  i have  some  good  indoor racing/practice  pics  on my  450  as  well at  Hindsight MX.

Good  hearing  from you  Bro!

Jeff

Holly hell thats a crazy crash story. Glad to hear you are ok man. The same with me, I stopped playing MCM2 after the MSN gaming zone shut down, I just couldnt get into gamespy etc, was not the same the way the chat rooms were setup etc. I would love to see this game make a comeback. Most fun to play game ever.
