you guys should post videos of yourself beating the map. Should make for some interesting competition.

If you want to speedrun through shoddy enviroments, this map's for you. It isn't fullbright, but may very well be: for lengthy and apparently varied in enviroments as it is, it rarely looks like a Portal level and not some Quake clone. But it does get right what a race is about, however filling the path with full stops if you fail on the thirty or so flings to be performed - die or get stuck on every mistake.

The attitude regarding the acrobatics isn't truly the vicious kind of exxtreme, but still too hard for anyone nonetheless. Could have used a bunch portal placers and playtesting, just to ensure that catapult and fling distances were always covered and not a matter of luck - or generally more time in Hammer.

the hills are alive... with the sound of music

P.S. THE LARGE FILE SIZE IS DUE TO THE TREMENDOUS SIZE OF THE LEVEL. Since most of the level is acrobatics it requires large rooms and ever larger jumps.

Not true, you just haven't optimized the lightmaps.

I immedeatly quit the map as soon as I heard these nasty background noise. I assume that's supposed to be music, but I am not entirely sure.

Edit:
I also assume the noise is copyrighted somehow. Not that I care about copyright infringements, but the admins of this site probably are.

I feel just like you. I tested my new smartphone app and it told me this is a song by fatboy slim and it's copyrighted by SME (sony music entertainment). YouTube already blocked his "walkthrough" video for a few countries (like Germany) due to this.

Germany blocks everything. Fuck Germany.

I lol'd (because it's pretty much true)

I appreciate that you made it very clear in the description that this is an exercise for the fast-twitch kiddies. That way, I could spend just a few minutes enjoying the playthrough. I don't rate maps I don't finish, and I didn't even download this.
