Dawn Of Time

History

Whilst wandering around Skye Studios Lila came across some interesting terrain which inspired her to make a Dinosaur themed course. Using a myriad of models “Dawn Of Time”, an interesting Hybrid course, was born. This course is a mix of odd “steeples” using dinosaurs and logs as jumps and gate slaloms. Set in a rocky pre-historic landscape, you get a real impression of traveling back in time to when the dinosaurs ruled the wold.

Description

Race type: Single run
Running and jumping.

Cross the start line of this large hybrid course and get teleported back to the prehistoric ages where dinosaurs ruled the earth. This hybrid course covers 3780 square meters and 35 gates.

The course starts with a Jump over the dinosaur egg nest. Pass through gates 2, 3 and 4 and then up onto the raised bedrock. Gate 6 a jump over the Velociraptor. Through gate 7 and then over the sorry looking Brontosaurus hunting for fish in the stream.

Three easy gates follow (10, 11 and 12) and then over the first felled pine tree (13).

Up a steep climb into the mountain leads to gate 15, 16 and 17, then over the makeshift log bridge to gate 18.

A precarious stone arch leads to gates 19, 20 and 21.

Back down from the mountains and it’s all about the wild life. Gate 24 is the Tyranosaurus. The Triceratops is Gate 25.

Jump the tar pit Gate 26 (A misstep will have you preserved for all time so take care pony) Then make a sharp turn to pass through Gate 27.

Another velociraptor lies in wait a little further along. Gate 28 then another felled pine three Gate 29.

Finish the course with a large arc then over the brontosaurus Gate 31.

Zigzag through gate 33 under the arched rock, and the last two gates 34 and 35 who bring you safely to the end crossing.

Congratulations, you have survived the Dawn of Time.

Tips

  • Gate 1, don’t jump from too far away. The slope is deceptive.
  • jump from between Gate 7 to cross both the stream and Bronty’s neck at the same time landing on the bedrock between the posts of Gate 9.
  • At Gate 31jump over the long tail, orienting yourself towards the easy gate 32
  • Don’t feed the dino’s. They have delicate stomachs (ie they only eat ponies).
  • Rezz the course from beyond the line in the neighboring sim (The Branded Pony) or parts of the landscape will not rezz properly.

A simple barrel slalom consisting of 6 barrels and a single jump. The required path is marked on the ground as a simple line to follow. The final jump is not excessively high but a slight turn is useful whilst passing though the hoop.

Tips

  • Follow the defined path
  • Most barrels require over 180 degrees, ensure you have enough movement for your mouse
  • Curve your jump through the last hoop

History

Inspired by some fun comic terrain found on Marketplace, they tallied nicely with some comic textures already purchased. Combining them and the Flintstones course was created which in the end became a hybrid course.

The concept of the runaway boulders was taken from a course at WPG which had balls rolling down ramps. The scripts for triggering the runaway rocks was created by Jezzie (Jez Mertel)

Description

Welcome to the prehistoric world of The Flintstones, where health and safety have not yet been invented. This prehistoric course covers 6840 square meters and is a hybrid course consisting of barrels, jumps and gate slaloms. As a ponygirl, your goal is to safely navigate this rocky world.

The course takes you to the top of the Flintstones world before descending and exploring their living accommodations and transportation. Pony carts were not invented in the days of the caveman.

On the ascent to the top of this rocky world, look out for runaway boulders. Navigate the narrow rock bridge to the plateau where some wild palm trees are sprouting.

Heading down a couple of ladders you have to jump stacks of logs whilst winding down a narrow path in the rock face.

Zip through the slalom posts and through the house carved into the rocks. Then back out and dodge around the house, the palm trees and the rock car to finish the course.

Tips

  • Get your timing right when jumping the boulders. Be aware of the next one about to come down the hill.
  • Jump over the stone bridge for speed.
  • When decending and jumping the log piles, ensure you don’t jump too far else you’ll twist an ankle and be stalled for a second or so.

A fun little course for Halloween.

This fun little course consists of 16 slalom gates and covers a mere 900 square meters.
it is decorated with 8 evil pumpkins, a number of fixed hay bales that impede your progress and some over hanging trees to restrict your view as you run around.

Despite the length of the course the weaving in and out of the gates and should you touch one of the pumpkins, these little devils will send you jumping up into the air, slowing your progress.

Tips

  • if you get your collision right, you can use the pumpkins as a bouncy castle.

History

This is the forth and final course in the Alice in Wonderland set.  Created in 2025 with the initial idea from Mucku and technical help from Barley Sugar. Additionally, new PBR textures, from Sapphire and Barley Sugar, have been employed in certain areas of the course further enhancing the experience.

Description

Approach along a path made from books through the now familiar checker board wall with playing card pillars. Once again the pony enters the crazy world of Wonderland as they pass through an arch way lined with climbing roses.

Passing into a crazy house you follow checker board passages lit by flaming sconces. The path takes you through a number of barred gates and through various rooms where you have to pass around barrels and other object from the stories, including pills, potions and cakes.

Once these barred rooms have been negotiated you exit out into a wide grassy area with the White Rabbit pointing the way. Dodging around more cakes, tea cups and trees, the perspective is continually changing by means of scaled object.

 This barrel course includes a new “trap” never before seen in a pony play course and perfectly fitting for the Alice term “Down the rabbit hole” Using the power of the SecondLife Experience, should a pony fail, they “fall down the rabbit hole” to find themselves teleported back to the middle of the course. Timing is critical here. 

Around a few more ‘Barrels’ and the course ends by jumping through a raised hoop.  In total there are 13 obstacles to navigate through this run through Wonderland.

 

Tips

  • Make a clean jump of the reed pond or you’ll end up doing half of the course again.

History

Initial ideas for this course were vague, but it was intended to be something new and unique and not simply a copy of another aquarium. Mucku (muckumamu) offered some suggestions to include sea mines and this was the trigger to get the creative juices flowing.

This fun course is dedicated to all the mermaids (and merponies) of FFF.

Description

Step into the Frilly Fish Fun Aquarium. This is a ‘There and Back’ gate slalom course with 24 double gates to navigate, circle the sea mine at the end and then retrace your steps.

Along the way you will encounter many ocean seabed obstacles and wild life, including sea mines, skeletons, crab traps and even a crashed aeroplane.

This challenging course takes you through many underwater structures, dodging discarded fishing tackle and over a rough stone bridge needs, beware of loose rocks. The tank sharks are rumoured to enjoy meals from clumsy ponies.

An underwater ruin presents a particular challenge with gates hidden inside that only come into view once you have entered the structure. The three gates inside are relatively well aligned and the necessary movements can quickly be learned with muscle memory.

Look out for the sharks and other fishes and if you begin to run short of breath there are some bubbles rising from underwater supplies.   

Most of the gates are situated along a narrow underwater ridge. However, some of the gates require sharp turns to make and, on the side of the ridge, can be challenging to navigate.

When reaching the sea mine, run around it and head back along the ridge to the start line. Don’t come too close to the mine though.

Tips

  • The Sharks don’t really bite. (Although they are solid objects)
  • In the outbound direction, when going up the ridge is best performed with a jump.
    In the return direction, it is better to continue running.
  • Touching a mine sets it to explode. Consequently the pony is shot straight up, thus costing time and possibly ringing ears.
  • Apply sunset environmental settings for a better ambience. Or better yet an underwater environmental setting.

Chasing the Unicorn

The second course that Lila ever created at FFF.

Description

Chasing the Unicorn, is a pure Slalom. Again, this is considered to be one of the hardest courses at Frilly Filly Farm.

Set in a magical land of green pastures, there are unicorns resting and grazing beneath trees covered with pink and white blossoms.

The course consists of path leading into a canyon and spiralling up around one of cliff faces.

Once at the top, a flat plateau contains a few more slalom gates before the pony must jump across the canyon to the adjacent plateau. The route then spirals down behind to a turning point to repeat the process in reverse.

One frustration when learning this course is; at the turning point you are so close to the finish line, but to complete the course you must return to the plateau and jump back before descending into the canyon.
Once mastered it can be both fun and challenging to maintain consistency.
