You will be tested on the day for Wing power. It's a simple calculation of how fast you complete a lap (in seconds) and how well you perform in the acrobatics section. It's mostly about Style and Slickness.

It's not supposed to be fair, it's basically to do with style stuff. So obviously a mod will be needed no slow feather. If you don't know who the wonderbolts are, they are the fastest ponies in equestria.

This would be alot neater if there was some sort of mod that gave you more freedom when using a flight-related tool. Something that gave you the ability to roll and flip and all sorts of stylish patterns you'd expect the Wonderbolts to do. Im just throwin' this out there, it'd be neat if a mod like that was developped for it.

Regardless, this is cool. If I had less lag on the server I'd definitely try out.

Well I think you can use both feather and flymod but the flymod is recommended. If you can fly really well with the feather then you can still join.

EDIT= If you pass the test

For the evaluation, we require the flymod so the speed can be boosted up. There are three tests: agility, speed and precision.
Agility: Pass throught the rings. Flyspeed: minimum=4.0
Speed: Finish the laps in the shortest time possible. Flyspeed: minimum=10.0
Precision: We will count the number of times that you hit the wall in the circuit of the wonderbolt HQ. Flyspeed: minimum=10.0

Stop treating me like an idiot, prodegy. I assure you, I know what I'm saying and many others do as well, even if you don't.

And yes, it is supposed to be fair. It's equally to do with style, yes, but you should recall if you were at the Gala that only feather flying was allowed in the flying-based contests. I assume that this would apply too to the Wonderbolts.
Yes, I do know the Wonderbolts are fast-flying experts, but that doesn't mean they need to have a flymod that's cranked up to full power every time they fly. After all, going too fast bugs up minecraft.

Im sure that can be arranged. Our main problem is that we'd need to train all the new Wonderbolts and then make sure we could all be online at the same time. Thats been a rather large issue lately.

I'd just like to say that on the day of training the judges. Myself, Stardustboy123 and Isuno will be very critical and incredibly harsh. Its not that we're being mean it's just we want to make sure the one or two recruits we accept are the best of the best.

You are already a wonderbolt, so don't need to do the tryouts

If you guys get this together properly you should work out a display routine you can perform as a team. Then when we have another event you can put on a show for us!

Yes, in fact, this is one of our objectives

Yes, I do know the Wonderbolts are fast-flying experts, but that doesn't mean they need to have a flymod that's cranked up to full power every time they fly. After all, going too fast bugs up minecraft.

My evaluation plan is based on peoples with flymod, Wonderbolts are fast, even if it's not fair. High speed is recommended if you want to make it far.

Captain, Thank you. I do understand GMT. Didn't understand "English Time". In the USA, 12:am means midnight. If the next one is a mid-day GMT tomorrow, then that is far too early for anyone in the Pacific time zone. Any chance you can schedule a third session?

Hopefully Isuno and Stardustboy123 can attend if not well this is going to be hard to handle. If you still cant attend that then you'll have to try next saturday. AND THAT WILL BE THE FINAL CHANCE. Im getting tired of ponies who cant attend and expect us to waste our time organising a different date, so this is it.

Aye, Saturdays try-out was riddled with people just acting up and beign deliberately disruptive. Hopefully, this saturdays goes smoother.

Also, sorry I was not in attending for Sundays tryouts, unfortunately family issues arose I had to deal with.

Dedication. Persistance. Training. Attitude.

Four things that helped me. I kept training for the full week up to the trials, I knew what I wanted and went for it, I kept a possative mind the best I could and if I messed up I just did it again.
In one week I went from speed 4 in the rings and oval to being able to do both at speed ten.

If you want something bad enough, you can do it in time. I did, and keep in mind on day I had a sevearly damaged right wrist n went on to will that days slot.

@ Vinyl scratch:

I really like your HQ build, but if you like i might be able to upgrade the track's starting system for your tryouts.
I was thinking about a 3 second countdown, with noteblock sounds, lights, a button on the track itself to activate it for training sessions, with an override switch in the office so the button cant be used in official races and tryouts.

gimme a heads up in-game if you're interested.

Practice until you can do the rings on speed 10 and when the tryout is you reduce your speed and everything will be a lot easier

The week before the tryouts I met Xander almost everyday :D

Yeah, I tried speed ten... hit everything... Speed 5 much slower and easier... hit everything.


While I am a very good racer I'm not a very good flyer... I can't think in 3 dimensional movement. Which is why I fail it most flying games... stupid Pilot Wings...

This is not a race track, it's a practice circuit to train the reflex with the speed 10. This kind of system would be useless.
We are not even using it for the tryouts.
Sorry, I cannot accept but thanks for the offer.

Is there a penalty if we have a hard time cutting turns if we have to use a touch pad? My USB ports don't work, so I resorted to this little piece of crap.

If it makes you miss a turn or get out of the limits, well yes there is a penality, also, it will just make your lap's time longer.
If it's for the reflex test, yes it's a problem because on 20 laps -> 40 curves, we count the number of time that you hit the wall. We did not pushed yet the tryouts to that test.

Sorry i havent been monitoring this recently, i just got a job : P
Anyways from what i've been reading Isuno's got this pretty banged down, Boser as you've been commenting a lot on this ill add you to the forum contact list for the Wonderbolts as you know what your doing. Im going to leave this thread here for another week or two (Myself and Isuno will talk details later) after that i might delete it as we dont want new ponies trying to join months after tryouts when we dont need anymore Members. We'll probably do another try-out session later on in the future when we decide we need some new Members but at the moment were pretty much full. Great job to all the ponies who have recently joined the Team and Good luck to those for the final try-out this Saturday 5PM English Time (GMT).

Much appreciated. As it stands I've only got one try left at build access and I highly fear even with my new design I'd fail it, so waiting untill I am dead sure I can pass before trying xD would be nice having a way to find out things without build

I'm so nervous I practiced so hard but I fear I won't make it.
EDIT: Saddly I can not attend no matter how hard I tried to fit this into my schedule and how hard I practiced my sister graduation has gotten in the way so sorry. On the slight chance I get back home in time it will be a tight fit so most likely if I can come will be late.

Ok i have no idea what happend there but apparently nopony was selected. I could'nt attend due to issues that conflicted with the training but apparently so did everypony else. We'll sort this out and see what we can do about the final placement and try-out session perhaps at a later date.

Well that means there is still a open slot but that still means I probably won't make it unless the next try outs are in 2 weeks and maybe a day I will be at summer camp for the next 2 weeks which is sad because I really want to be apart of this not just the wonder bolts thing but the sort of special group thing that matters and is awesome but if I can't attend a try out it is probably for the best that someone else with more time to be on and be part should get it.
