StepUp Plugins
StepUp Plugin
Use of this plugin is similar to the 3-tier plugin. The different color pieces are for level 2 and level 3. I used the standard table top as the transition piece to level 2 and the elevated table top as the transition piece to level 3. Level 2 starts at the top of the table top and level 3 starts at the top of the elevated table top.
The Start/Finish line has been changed to a modified level 1 table top piece. When you create a track you need to make the first piece immediately after the start/finish line a table top. I also like to put either a jump or mound in front of the start finish line so that you can jump over the table top. To make the Start/Finish line a table top it had to be made wider right at the Finish line. When you have more than 6 competitors you will need to turn left/right slightly at the start.
It also includes new pieces that make it easy to create several lines through difficult sections of a track. It includes jumps that are only half the width of the track and a jump that is 1.3 times bigger than a big jump on the left and a jump the size of a small jump on the right.
The StepUp plugin includes this track.
It is only 900k in size because it does not include the standard classic pieces. The StepUp.INI file points to your classic directory for all the unmodified pieces that it needs.
StepUp2 Plugin
StepUp2 is the result of feedback from StepUp and a lot of trial and error. This plugin is much more of a construction set than the classic. There are 54 track pieces to build with. Many of the pieces have to be used together to create a single jump or series of jumps. There are many combinations and I am anxious to see how people use it.
If this is the first plugin that you have ever used and you are new to making Supercross tracks, you may want to try the StepUp plugin first. It is simpler to use and has 13 more track pieces than the classic plugin.
Thanks to everyone that downloaded StepUp and provided comments, suggestions, and criticism.

StepUp2 SX Addon
This is an addon for StepUp2. It adds 10 new track pieces by removing some of the level 3 and level 4 pieces. This addon customizes StepUp2 and tailors it for building 2 level SX tracks.
This addon was used to make the long timing section for AMA_Pop455's Twisted Hill National.
StepUp2 Nat TD Addon
This is an addon for StepUp2. It customizes StepUp2 and has textures created by AMA_Kip66. It was adapted from a 4 level plugin called StepUp2Nat that was never released. The StepUp2Nat plugin was used to create several Nationals including Twisted, HangOn, Twisted Hill SX, Baatk's Arenacross, and many more.
When Twisted D.I.R.T. was created we wanted to release some SX tracks with nice textures and something a little different than had been done before. So we started with the StepUp2Nat plugin, tweaked it a little, and Justin (AMA_Kip66) created textures for it.
The download also includes three tracks:
- TD - Case City
- TD - Double Trouble
- TD - Twisted Arena, the track that the national Baatk's Arenacross was made from

StepUp2 Tutorial
Build a replica of the Atlanta 99 Supercross
I thought it might be helpful if I created a walkthrough of building a track with StepUp2. I could not think of a better track to build than the Atlanta 99 track. I went to the Atlanta Supercross right when I was finishing up StepUp2. After seeing the track for the first time I knew that StepUp2 could do a good job of replicating it.
