I could just quote the first 2 lines of the background music as track intro 8-|

Hello MX! (God It's weird to write it without the T). It's me again, and this time I decided to build Valley. BECAUSE IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL! We'll get to that later. What I DID do is build a track with a small three-use and multilap start just for the hell of it, also because it flowed to drive as a full lap. Think of it as a look around the Farming Compound, a check-up. The track itself is around a minute long, has a short dirt section, some transitions (not too many, I'm keeping it simple), the most beautiful background music to ever appear in one of my tracks and too much scenery. Also a lake (hence the name of the fictional town).

But enough with the vague data, let's head straight into...

TRACK FACTS
9057 coppers (This valley thingy is a hog D: )
Nice scenery. I mean, with such a heavy copper count, at least I could use some
27 turns. I like turning around in valley
3-use
No MT asides from headlights and music. I didn't feel like it.
As I said, there's Music. And there's a lake for a reason. The song is "The Journey", by Feint and Veela.
Jumps 'n' bumps for all of those who love it.
Orite, I mentioned there's a lake. It's kinda big, and the podium block is in it.
I didn't use objects in the route this time. Trust me, they'll come in a future.
In the spirit of keeping the track moving, there's an unreasonable amount of blocked roads. They actually give some nice turning angles, perfect for my objective.
63.78 (I think it's very beatable, but I didn't want to peel my eyes going for a 1:02)
68.00
77.00
96.00
The screenshot is made by fellow clanmate and great mapper FT»Chalwhen. There's a wallpaper version in these words.. The reason for a lack of trackname in it is, in fact, that the name is GODDAMNED LONG and it would cover up all of it.
Respawnable, following the route most of the time. The one before the upwards right turn is sketchy as hell tho.

As a side note, I'll add that the dirt location and general terraforming needs of this environment are absolutely and positively ridiculous But it really ends up being beautiful once you finish.

THANKS ZONE
This time, the thanks go to the entire community in #MX @ quakenet (You can get there in a button under "about MX") and to everyone at Fun Trackers for testing the map and smoothing out some rough edges. They actually warned me of the sketchy respawn, but I didn't find a way to fix it.

Also, special thanks to Nadeo, who have built this environment and it is actually the first environment that holds enough chill feeling and beauty to allow me to put a song by Veela on it.

Showcase zone

In the previous moments to releasing this map I've been knee deep into some secret project. Go to the IRC for more info on it. So I haven't played many maps at all. I have found some online that are amazing, but I don't feel like looking for them.

I will, anyways, showcase some of them. Starting from my teammate and screenshot maker Chalwhen, who apparently has NO Valley maps released as of today, a crazy canyon map:

Second one is from one of my favourite TM² mappers and one of my favourite Valley Maps as of now. He doesn't need any help tho, at least that's what I think:

Third one will be for our beloved moderator chuckz and what was his first map in valley. One hell of a hunter.

And the fourth and last one goes to our favourite dirt mapper and an epic track (extra epicness GUARANTEED if you listen to Dragonforce while playing it too).
