Hello, rubberduck! It's good to see a new project developed by you. Canyon has always been one of my favorite tracks and having it redone is something that will please many Supertukkart players, for sure.
Well, these are my impressions as a player and as someone who has also tried to contribute to the game by making tracks:
1. The environment is pretty cool. I really enjoyed the ups and downs and the rocks. All the terrain relief is very good.
2. The layout of the path/road is interesting and has a shape that should be considered definitive, in my opinion, of course.
3. The textures are good. Some rocks in which the textures don't look so good will certainly be improved by you.
4. The environment is still a bit "empty" (to my taste), so the items below are just some of my thoughts about a track with a theme like this.
It is a restricted location inspired by the famous "Area 51/52". It's obvious you are not re-creating the real one, but, there are a few things I could expect to find in that kind of environment. Everything below is just part of the 'brainstorm' and should not even be seen as a suggestion. It's just a listing of possibilities.
The one technical aspect that I emphasize are the bounces at the edges of the way, since they are still uneven and causing small "jumps". At 00:36 - 00:49 and 01:13 I slowed down to show this more clearly.

Being an area where an extraterrestrial UFO landed or fell, the whole area would be very restricted and controlled by the military. If it was a project of mine, I would consider including:
- A zone with fence and warning signs;
- A military truck or jeep in the yard, behind the fence;
- Maybe (just maybe) an aircraft in the yard. A helicopter, to be precise.
- Sentry at the entrance gate of the restricted area;
- A shed that works as a laboratory for government scientists and authorities to examine fragments of the UFO and objects contained in it.
- Floodlights over the fence;
- A nightly version could be nice, also. In this case, a song track that resembles "
X-Files" theme song and the songtheme of the old "
Crescent Cross" would fit very well;
I would consider too, to start the track from the entrance gate of the restricted area. The gate itself would be the start line.
If it were a track of mine initiative, I would not put the flying saucer in the middle of the road, but I would insert it as a "surprise" near to the end of the runway and it would not be fully visible, but partially buried in the ground. Since it's a track made be you, you are totally free to put what you want.
