Nicknamed the hardest track of its time, Unholy Confessions sparked intense debate over its true ninja difficulty level.
On 11 August 2015, li Shayne il completed Unholy Confessions, a run that gained massive attention with nearly 300,000 views. Part of the attention came from li Shayne il naming the video “hardest track ever passed,” which was somewhat controversial. Some community members agreed, while others disagreed, making this an interesting case study in the subjective nature of ninja difficulty.
Since Trials HD, the ninja scene evolved considerably: Track Central became more accessible, more players got into ninjas, and riders gained more experience as well as more tracks to compare, leading to a more refined difficulty rating process. However, what hasn’t changed is that ninja ratings remain community-driven, with manual ratings based on collective player feedback and personal playstyles — making difficulty ratings inherently subjective.
This means track ratings can change over time as players gain experience and have a broader base of tracks for comparison.
The huge number of views on this run demonstrated how much interest there was in the ninja scene at the time and how much people were eager to watch these incredible runs.
