Surprised this one wasn't on the list. It's the Terminator 2 track by suttonleo, and it's by far my favorite user creation yet. It's just.. perfect.
Trials Evolution's Best User Creations
By
Justin Calvert, Executive Editor
Justin Calvert shows off some of his favorite community-created content for Trials Evolution.
STARWARS - ENDOR
- Creator: ExplodiChris
The speeder bike in this Return of the Jedi-inspired level handles a lot like a regular dirt bike. It's still fun to race through the trees and past AT-ST and AT-AT walkers though, even if you don't get to mow down any ewoks.
Condemned Quadbikes
- Creator: Lukeyy19
This occasionally challenging level incorporates some neat puzzles that, like many things, are easier to deal with the second time around when you know that they're coming. This level would be great with regular bikes but it's even better with quadbikes.
jetski
- Creator: ice 0 lator 68
There aren't nearly enough jetski games being made nowadays; something that seemingly hasn't gone unnoticed by the Trials Evolution community. This level isn't long or especially challenging, but it affords a rare opportunity to relive the glory days of games like Wave Race 64.
Ocean Explorer
- Creator: Walton 31
Submarines are rarely much fun to control in games, and the submarine in this level is no exception. The good news, then, is that it gets destroyed early on, leaving you to complete the rest of this great underwater level on your bike.
CHOPPER TRIKE
- Creator: XxTWEED HEADxX
Unsure if two wheels are really better than four? Get the best of both worlds as you make huge jumps on this three-wheeler that could've come straight from an episode of American Chopper.
Ecole d'aviation 1
- Creator: POKERVIRUS25
Do you have what it takes to be a light aircraft pilot? Land your plane five times in this forgiving flight school test and you'll be no closer to finding out. That doesn't make this level any less fun though.
Excite hover
- Creator: banchozone20
There's a reason that hovercrafts aren't typically built using tractor tires and lengths of pipe. There's also a reason that hovercrafts aren't typically used to navigate rapids and waterfalls. Realism be damned though! This challenging level is one of those that's hard to stop playing until you beat it.
POD RACER
- Creator: xX HE4TH Xx
This Episode I-inspired level sees you taking the controls of a pod racer and, with very little warning, having to use the force to clear obstacles from your path. Significantly easier to play through the second time than the first, unless your force powers happen to include foresight.
Asteroid Sprint vF
- Creator: crz3 Olaf
It doesn't matter what game you're playing, sometimes you've just got to tear yourself away from it and spend some quality time with Asteroids. While playing Trials Evolution you can now do this without even needing to quit back to the dashboard. The only thing more surprising than this level's existence is how good it is.
Found (or created) a great Trials Evolution level that you think should be included in this feature? Let us know in the comments below and, if we like it, we'll include it in an update.

I didn't even notice the other tabs, "tired of bikes" and "fun with friends" .... Yay, more amazing user created levels!, great article, makes me want to replace my broken 360, just to get this... I was a bit of an old NES excite bike addict, so this is hitting my nostalgia button, too
This game is crack cocaine mixed with nicotine in a bowl and ground up with a chocolate and heroin pestle and then poured into a sugar/sex cup. In others words it's crazy addictive. I would play it standing up in a constant state of fight or flight trying to focus and loving every minute.
Try it and then kiss away weeks of your life :)
I must admit, back when I had a 360, the only two games I found myself playing over and over again were SHADOW COMPLEX and the original TRIALS. Two very awesome exclusives that don't get the shine they deserve. I'm all about exclusives which is why PS3 is my main system, but folks there definitely are hidden gems within the XBLA that should not be missed. This being one of them.
@walmongerer Try Shadow Complex also, it's awesome. Forget about console wars there are a lot of great games on Xbox Live, you don't have to have Gold to download. Don't miss them, life's too short.
Haven't played it but it seems like this is to the Xbox 360 what LittleBigPlanet is to the PlayStation 3. =]
Well...Trials has been around long before LBP so I would say the reverse is true, lol.
1 Like @Cillah187 No, this game kill LBP. This game is for adult hardcore gamers not children
@sleepnsurf HAHAHAHAHAHAHA LBP for children, Trials for "Adult hardcore gamers"!!!!! Hahahaaahahahasdasjd I'm crying! You must live in your parent's garage!. :B
Ok, now I see why people love Trails. This is just too much. Going to buy the game RIGHT NOW... How do you make Asteroid from a map editor? That just doesn't make any sense, but, it just happened. Whoever build this game and those custom maps are brilliant to a whole new level.
This game is fantastic. I only wish it had better music, maybe better visuals.
I remember one map that recreated the hover craft lever from HL2 in full 3D. Wasn't a lot of fun, but it was really cool
I agree, the music starts to get annoying after a while, but in the first DLC (the only one I have) they added some new cool tunes and sound effects which was something the editor was really missing. I also agree on the visuals, they could have been better, but the rendering distance in the game is really high (even if to compensate the "physics" area around the player is very small, but that's something that you only notice by making maps). Also the map's size (maximum number of objects/memory occupied by the map) even though is very big it could have been more, allowing to make some insanely detailed maps (still you only notice that by making big maps, but just to give a clue if you have played my 2001 map only Hal's core occupies like 25% of the total space).
Mods for console games? Now I've seen everything, lol. Though seriously, it's great that console game mods can reach the same heights as PC game mods do. Mods for a PC game is mostly a foregone conclusion, but not for console games as far as I know, so it'd be good if this was more supported.
I don't know if you'll like it but if you want to take a look at my track it's called 2001:A SpaceOdyssey, gamertag is "los lantis". It's a trials with some minigame features, it's featured twice in the best trials (why? nobody knows). I made it very early when the game came out, so there are better tracks out there for sure, but I like to think that none is like it.
Also if some user wants to check out and give me some advice on my "gigaball" track, it's a minigame I made some time ago and that was still in "demo" phase, I had the full game redone about 60% but I never contuinued it because I didn't think it was so amazing after all.
1 Like Those look great. Thanks Justin for that and now I know what I will be playing in the weekend!
No matter how many new games I end up of with, (I'm usually trying to juggle 3 or 4 games at a time) I always find myself back on Trials eventually.
It's so versatile, almost anything can be done. Truly inspiring, considering how the series started out.
Just like the LittleBigPlanet community, this one is always thriving with new things to try every day.
Easily my best download of 2012, next to Minecraft.
Amazing. This game just gets better and better. You have to admire the work and skill that must have gone into creating these things. Am going to fire the game up and try a few tonight.
