Line Rider Race #2 - Who will survive Flight of the Valkyries?

I've synchronized The Flight of the Valkyries (by Richard Wagner) to 8 Line Riders racing down the track for victory. Choose your team color and cross your fingers. All lines were drawn by hand. My favorite color is green, so surely they'll win right? Or am I using reverse psychology? Or am I using reverse reverse psychology, or am I using reverse reverse reverse rever.....

People have been asking me how I did the 3D intro at the beginning. If you'd like to make 3D cinematic shots of your own Line Rider tracks, you can download the blender file here: / 66882300 .
First, download the "LineRiderBlenderConverter.zip" file attached to this post and unzip it.
Then simply open the LineRiderConverter.blend file (I'm using Blender version 3.1.2), and go to the scripting tab. Replace the trackFilepath = 'F:\CurrentProjects\LineRiderRace2\Example.track.json' with the path to your desired line rider track and run the script with the play button in the scripting tab of blender. Viola, you have now converted the track json to Blender grease pencil lines, allowing you to manipulate and render them in any way you desire!

It’s so bizarre how something so simple can be so exciting

[@Ji_soe]

Man what he does is so hard tho it’s insane love to watch it everytime tho.

[@xj-vn4eo]

@@Ji_soe Alas, simple doesn't equate easy. A lot of complex things we see in life can comprise very simple rules, for example, complex systems like firefly light signaling and synchronization. (Edit: moved "Alas" to the front, to clear up the potential misunderstanding that I was correcting what you said, which is not true since I was complementing it.)

A serious comeback #whysohysterical 🃏

[@Galimeer5]

I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into keeping every rider in the race, making sure they showed up at the right time, swapped sleds at the right time, fell off the tracks, landed on each other, all while staying synchronized with the music. Absolutely amazing.

[@starsprLte]

absolutely jaw dropping ! all of the riders did excellently this year, as always. it is fascinating to see their passion for the sport! luckily as we all know there is a little line rider ambulance juuuust off screen to tend to any sustained injuries. good game :+)

[@ohkaygoplay]

I say the same thing with Jelle's Marble Runs, too. :D

[@SerenityNancy]

You are effing amaaaazing, man!

[@felynia]

I also admire the red team`s training routine if they can win twice in a row. As a blue team fan i root against them but i can still appreciate a strong performance.

[@SproutiusShrubiusthe16th]

The annual Musical Ride event is better than ever! The competition is spicy and the music is grand! Cant wait for next year!

even last time that yellow ditched red’s win this is total revenge

[@techno-phobe3000]

Suddenly, the battles of Goku vs Vegeta seem pale in comparison.

[@Baller294]

It was revenge from the 1st race

[@Cobra-King3]

Revenge is a dish best served cold After the cold betrayal of Yellow by snatching the win from Red, he HAD to set a tone, and did so by dumping a Glacier of ICE on yellow with that move He left us there as well without a jacket at the least

[@LevoFroozer]

And yellow did betray green aswelll

[@battadia]

I can only imagine how much is going on above and below what's being recorded in order to get the riders back on their sleds, and with perfect timing too!
