📍 Event : First-ever Ninja Tournament in Trials
This was the very first Ninja Tournament in Trials history, organized to find the best ninja rider when very few ninja tracks existed and only a handful of players were skilled enough to complete them. The tournament featured five of the most difficult tracks at the time, testing precision, patience, and skill.
The competition was conducted on the honor system, with players posting their total faults and optionally their per-track faults and times in the forum thread. Video proof of completion was encouraged for those claiming the lowest faults, with a cash prize awarded to the winner.
Tracks :
HEETSAUCE – BadLands
RedRider686 – SuperHuman
o SKUMBAG o – 36 Chambers
o SKUMBAG o – Citadel
Murdoc Loch – Bounce
Rules :
The rider with the least total faults across all five tracks would be declared the winner.
All results had to be posted on or before March 31, 2010.
Participants could submit faults per track and total faults.
Video proof of runs was optional but required for the cash prize.
Forum Highlights & Community Reactions :
MurdocLoch posted the initial announcement, emphasizing the extreme difficulty of the tracks and the honor-system scoring.
Participants shared partial results throughout March, showing the challenges of each track and the large variance in faults.
Lestroypie emerged as the standout player, dominating the competition with just 2 faults (both on Bounce). His performance was described as “amazing and disgusting at the same time” by fellow participants.
Community reactions ranged from astonishment at Lestroypie’s skill to playful frustration at tracks like Bounce and SuperHuman.
