Always stay on bottom and boost for going to a corner and that's pretty much it. Oh and dodge AI.

The 7/8 part in the music sounds a lot like the one of the 7/8 parts in "Under A Glass Moon" by Dream Theater.

You can get really short times on this track. I'm trying to get under a minute on JM2CE. Most I get is 1:09

Yeah this track is really easy and uber short. I have fun bumping off other racers though in these suicide tracks haha

This should've been a green circle.

I think there should've been at one beach/snow/swamp tracks in each level.
Easy: Hammerhead (beach) Blackwater Falls (swamp) Snow Blind (snow)
Medium: Joyride (beach) Suicide Swamp (swamp) Willpower (snow)
Hard: Cliffdiver (beach) Cypress Run (swamp) Ice Crusher (snow)
Very Hard: Nightmare (sky)

Ice Crusher is easier than Willpower in my opinion. Also, Joyride a medium? pfft.

Joyride is more difficult than Hammerhead, easily.
Ice Crusher is definitely harder than Willpower imo, it's a nightmare of a track when you first ride it, especially when you don't know which ice block is ahead. Obviously it's easier for me now since i've played it a billion times, but its very hard when you start it. Also the competition is tougher.

Joyride was specifically created to be the first track to race on.
Other than that, it's obvious that one of the two stadium themed tracks would be part of the starting three.

Not my favorite track. I don't dislike it but I guess it's just kind of boring since it's simplistic and so easy to win on. As far as Joyride is concerned, the only reason I'd say Hammerhead is harder is because it's a suicide course. You can be going as fast as you want but there's still a chance of running head on into somebody. But yeah, of all the JM and JM2 tracks this is definitely the one I've raced the least.

The first time I saw this track after unlocking it, I felt like I was ripped off.

Wow, I think I'm the only one on this board that likes this track. It made me think of Joyride, which always makes me happy, and it's one of the suicide tracks, which are always fun.
I'm less of a fan of the music on this track than most of the others, though. The thrash feel of the music doesn't sit well with me for some reason.

Yeah, suicide tracks tend to be pretty fun, but I don't get to run head on into the other racers often, but when I do, things become freakin' hilarious.
For Hammerhead, I prefer the music much more than the course itself. I can't say I dislike Hammerhead's design (although it could definitely be improved). A circular design for Hammerhead could probably work, but I'm just one person.

Suicide tracks are one of my favorite things in Jet Moto. This is track stands second.
The most tricky part of the track are the suicide turns when you turn into the traffic. You also need to pick the right entrance and the right exit in order to win time. The waves also play a factor. But if you master this one, it is quite a fun track.
That is what I like about Hammerhead. Mainly, beach is my favorite environment of the three and what makes Hammerhead so pumping is the fast 220 (estimated) BPM music. What else makes it unique, like said earlier is the part where the beat goes 7/8, which is pretty epic. One of my favorite tracks in the game.
Hammerhead is short but still spectacular where stratergy is of importance.
Rating: 8/10
