im wondering about the possibility of adding "favourites" to the database, ala bhr style? in a way it would be similar to playlists just for the individual. im finding so many old classics on here that i love but dont look at often (usually unfeatured stuff, valdez by shep comes to mind). asking this with 0 idea of how difficult this would be to implement, but think it would fit the spirit of the site very well (and selfishly id really love it)

i doubt there'd be anyone on these forums that isn't already aware of this but just in case, the 2026 GHOSTING COLLAB is currently in the works. also posting this here cause the final track is gonna go on freerider.app (i hope) (lol)
original post from the lame forums:
what is the ghosting collab?
the ghosting collab is a thing that the community does every so often where we get together and make a really long and hard track! here are some examples of previous ghosting collabs:
2014 - https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/50123
2015 - https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/676621
2017 - https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/464513
2020 - https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/730436
to give you an idea of how these tracks play, here's RedOrBlue ghosting the most recent ghosting collab, the 2020 one.
why are you hosting this?
well, it's been a while since the last ghosting collab got finished, and i think one in the current era of the game could be neat. i believe this is also the first attempt at hosting one of these since the freerider.app editor came out, so i believe this one will be extra interesting with all the new tools available to us.
why hasn't there been any since 2020?
simply put, we tried. there have been two (?) other attempts at hosting the ghosting collab since 2020, but they unfortunately fell through. this is the first one that i've hosted, so this year i will try really hard to make sure this one gets completed.
how do i join?
just make a post in this thread letting us know that you're in, and you're part of the collab!
how is this even going to work?
previous ghosting collaborations have been made by one person receiving the code, adding their part, then getting the code passed on to the next person. however, this approach is vulnerable to dragging out the process, flakey collab members, etc. so this year i'm going to host it similar to how the This Can't Be Real Life community collab was constructed.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/727034-this-cant-be-real-life
basically you guys will make your part separately and send them to me, and i will stich them all together into one track!
what should i put in my part?
just like previous collabs, anything goes. you could put in some really hard trial stuff, you could even make something really easy! that is also allowed. your part is allowed to have anything you like as long as it is possible with both bikes. this also comes with the caveat that if i don't think your part is good enough, or contains anything i find objectionable, i am allowed to modify anything i like within it. this will rarely happen though, as my standards are not that high and most of you are reasonable (i hope).
**how do i send the collab part to you?**
just send me a forums message with the code of your part. if you don't want to do that for some reason, discord is fine. (my account is @logestt7)
is there a deadline?
i'm gonna make the deadline 12:00 AM (GMT), March 14th. so this gives you roughly two months to work on your part. however if it's clear to a lot of people that they're not finishing their part, then i can extend the deadline.
any other question that someone may have
just ask in this thread and i'll try answer you. don't ask anything stupid though because then i'll call you stupid

hello free rider app community. i love you all. and so this here thread is an opportunity to ask me quite literally anything you like and i will reply with complete honesty and transparency. there are some ground rules though.
ONE:- if you are annoying...
TWO:- if you ask something weird i will order @Pete to dox you.
THREE:- coager is dark as hell bro wtf
FOUR:- anything that i write here in this thread is 100% TRUE. i do not possess the ability to lie. so dont think you can come into this thread with pete and "fact check" me. this rule guarantees that everything i say has already been fact checked with the relevant authorities.

hey guys, absolutely psyched to show you the latest revision to freerider.app.
if you know me, you know I'm super passionate about Free Rider tracks and history. I believe tracks are works of art, and as such deserve to be both preserved and showcased.
so without further ado, I'd like to unveil the freerider.app DB.
accessible by clicking the Import icon and clicking browse the database or by navigating to https://freerider.app/tracks, you will find:
over 960k tracks (and counting) from Free Rider HD,
over 1m tracks from Canvas Rider,
and ~4.5k tracks from the thought-to-be-lost Black Hat Rider database, courtesy of Renée.in addition to the full archives, a personally curated DB of 1000 tracks is available to browse, with custom thumbnails and playlists, along with metadata such as collaborators, reuploads across databases, remixes, contest entries, and more.
and in an effort to have every track be playable as they were, all CR and BHR autos/hold-ups now fully work on freerider.app, and helicopter, truck, balloon, and blob can now be played as starting/base vehicles, no powerups needed.
I hope you guys enjoying playing through the archive. if you have any requests for tracks to be added to the DB or playlist ideas, feel free to share in the thread.
see the next post for part 2 of this revision!

Im bringing the music thread over to these forums
Post some tracks you're listening to, post some album charts, talk about what you like, etc, etc, you know the drill!
Some things I have been listening to:
Orange (live) — Adrianne Lenker: I listened to this live album a few times but this time this track really stuck out, very beautiful and fills me with a kind of energy I want to ride out until I get bored
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg5Y2F9ebYYSET ESTRAGADO 1.0 — d.silvestre, DJ VITTIN MG, DJ MR 011, DJ FERRARI DO TS, Dj Raffide:
Something very different but this track is crazy to me I didn't know Brazilian Phonk could have niche ambient experimental aura like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9AGVxcVitYPeckham — username: Nice and serene chill vibe footwork https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLbZGbHeD1g
Good Magicians — Sidney Gish: Nice and catchy jovial vibes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD3ZOFjdwxE
Bomb S** — DJ Blackpower: My goat so goated I thought I listened to everything thoroughly but I still uncover releases I slept on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-cssT3fW-A
Birds — Electralane: Listened to one of their EPs ages ago but never tapped in until I stumbled across one of their songs a few weeks back which led me to listen to this album and it was surprisingly very solid with many W tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U43AA5meBXg
I might post a weekly, biweekly, or monthly chart to keep the thread active or something. Here's my most recent monthly chart:
Happy posting!

I was messing around with Triip's "Gate III" track in the editor, which uses some fancy portal technique to essentially lock an area of the track behind a portal, and I noticed that in fr.app editor it's broken, while in the frhd editor it works normally. Is this a difference in game physics?
As a related suggestion, could portals be visually connected in the editor by a line (like when you are placing them), even after they are placed? This would help keep track of which portals link to each other and where they go.

I have no idea how TAS works so this may not work at all.
Here's the idea: make a track with a slow, ten second wheelie that then leads into the track, but specify that if you're a REAL ONE you won't race past that wheelie section. The race begins at the first checkpoint, after the wheelie.
Would it be possible to make a ghost using TAS that wouldn't skip the wheelie section to create the fastest route?
-
I know the old forums had it so I wanted to add it to this one. but I suggestion I had was custom grid numbers and a grid offset because I'm making a track that has a lot of tunnels right now and its kinda annoying for me to count how many tiles there are this might make the grid settings thingy more cluttered but idk I think it would be cool
-
so why exactly does it change direction of the bike then you hit undo? it does this in the freeriderhd.com editor as well im just asking here because it just seems like the right place to ask. my guess is when kano was making the editor they made the undo shortcut before they put the button in, so when they added the undo button they just made it send a ctrl + z action to the editor, and z, of course, flips the bike

Hello! I'm super excited to announce a new feature on fr.app: Layers!
Much like the layers that you may be used to from almost any drawing program, these allow you separate out parts of your track to draw, erase, move, and do anything else to without interfering with the rest of your track. This revision also adds a new type of track code that allows for layer settings to be kept when exporting and importing tracks - although you can still get a version that's compatible with the base game using the 'Flatten' button in the export menu. Finally, the layers also support different colors! This is not their main intent, but I'm sure some people will be able to make really cool tracks with this feature.
The main features can be accessed from a menu in the bottom right corner, next to the object menu:
From this menu, you can change the current layer you're working on, change settings for the current name (including changing its name, changing line colors, and hiding it), add new layers, merge the current layer into another layer, and delete the current layer. Every track starts with a base layer (called 'Default') that can't be deleted, but can be renamed / recolored as you please.The update also adds more options to the eraser and select tools:
These options allow you to chose which layers the current tool is working on, between the current layer, all visible layers, and all layers in the track. You can hover over each of these buttons to get a reminder of what they do.Finally, this update adds a button to the settings in the bottom left of the select tool that lets you move the current selection to a layer.
Thank you very much to @mbcool for making all of the icons used in this update!
As always, we would love to hear your feedback and suggestions on what to add! I'm sure that layers will keep changing rapidly in the coming months
as I get Ness to do all of the hard coding work for me, so this is the perfect time to get a say in how the final feature turns out. Thank you as always for using the 1.1 track editor, and happy drawing!*note: layers are currently in a beta state, and may have undesired effects on tracks like autos that require specific physics interactions. please make sure to save often / create plenty of backups for any track you're creating, with or without layers.

this is a thread where you can ask for feedback on anything you're working on and people can, you know, give feedback, if they like.
i might introduce an actual system if people just keep asking and nobody is giving, but we don't have to do that rn. so with that being said, what do we think of this dirt pile?

this forum is fine, but i think we are missing an AI companion to bring this platform to the next level.
Grok is an AI pal I made on X the Everything App (formerly Tw*tter) and he is very excited by the prospect of being implemented into Free Rider Dot App. he makes me funny videos and explains to me how to spell hard words and puts poo onto images of My Enemies. doesnt get much better than that lol.
As such, i think it is necessary for us to welcome Grok to this forum in order to bring it to the next level @Ness
sound off below if youre a Grokhead like me !!! we need this guys if free rider is ever going to get off the ground like X has.

ZYCERAK UPDATE:
Today is December 16th, 2025.
I have just graduated from University. I have taken my final final exam...
So I am celebrated with wine!
I mean Fireball, which I feel is a scummy choice of liquor, but it goes down easy, I can't lie.
But what does life have in store for me now?
I will be working for a Retired Teachers Benefits company.
But it is a creative job as a graphic designer.
Their design team have won national graphic design awards for their in-house designs, and since it is a small team (4) of highly talented individuals, I feel extremely honoured. The Registered Graphic Designers of Canada have asked our small company to be the graphic designers of this year's national in-house awards ceremony. So cool!
Anyways... Enough about me...
Actually, I only want to talk about myself
Well... That explains the name "Zycerak Thread!"
Many say I copied "pssst thread," but he did not talk about himself that much. He talked about politics or whateever, I don't remember. That's where I differentiate myself. I only talk about myself, so I stay true to the name and the premise of the thread
It is not narcissism, because everyone would benefit from talking more about themselves, but they perceive it as being narcissistic so they refrain
I moved my thread to fr.app. Why? Because fr.app forums is morally and functionally superior, it's a freaking no brainer.
I will miss the iconic emojis of the FRHD forums, but the transition is still a no brainer.It's pretty cool to have graduated, now I have my whole life to decide how I want to spend my whole life.
I want to become more social, and I'm still struggling to overcome my inhibitions. I feel I have a clearer head when I'm drunk, I can think more rationally. I feel less inhibited, which I need for social interaction. I need to separate my perceived-self with my public-self but that is easier said than done. I don't know what I need to overcome it. Maybe I just need to repeat the concept to myself until I overcome it
I do feel like I used to be funnier, but I think that's become I cared more about what people thought of me, and I would censor a lot more. But fudge censorship, even if it comes from the self
Maybe all my purpose has to be is to find purpose, and that is okay. If I find purpose that's great, but if I don't I can die happy knowing I died my whole life searching.
Maybe I'd rather die sad from unfulfilled goes than die a happy idiot. As much as I think dying a happy idiot would be incredible, I think there's something more fulfilling to the core with having the potential to influence others, no matter the degree. Even if I never influence others for the better, I can die satisfied knowing I tried. And maybe satisfaction is better than happiness, rationally I don't know how but intuitively it feels right.
Goober and chud have the same connotation to me, no matter their empirical definitions. It's the flow and feel of the words that matter more than their actual meanings. The more we dissect, the more we come to definitive conclusions. Definitive conclusions leads to understanding and understanding is the enemy of beauty and the sublime. But that's a lie because you can find new beauty in understanding
I am feeling good, my sadness is nothing but a habit. If I can reduce it to an objective quality of habit, then that specific feeling of sadness can lose its meaning. I can see the feeling as an act like smoking flowers or picking boogers. Knowing it can be overcome is the greatest obstacle in overcoming, and I need to know how to always know that
I am optimistic in the present, but I know I can fluctuate from optimistic to pessimistic very quickly. But I will not let that undermine the optimism I feel.
It is always beneficial to think of the good that has happened to you today. It has to be a short time frame because you must learn to appreciate what's good at every moment to feel truly at peace. If you can find the beauty in the mundane, or the beauty in the sad, you can find inner peace. I use beauty loosely but in a sense I mean meaningful, because everything is extremely meaningful, everything has an inconceivably long explanation to its existence than traces back to the creation of the universe. So let me here something good that has happened to you today, post it in the thread!:
