I don't know what kind of trauma the person who mapped these valley dirt maps experienced in his/her life, but it must not have been good!
On the positive side of things I guess, this ~ONLY~ took like 2-3 hours to get. I looked up some other runs and found a guy that said it took him over 10 hours. I can see why! And that guy took about as long as I did to get the gold, so that wasn't encouraging.
This map gave me the unique experience of not even being able to get past the very first jump for like 30 minutes, and probably at least an hour total before I could get it "consistently" (and by consistently, I mean I can get it like 1 in 5 times or so). Thankfully, that was actually the biggest hurdle in this level. The other hard part is the narrow section at 0:35, and no amount of learning made that consistent, you just pray and hope you stay straight and don't flip over (almost happened in this run). Practice helped me get centered for the jump more often, but it's still just random. You get past it when the game feels like you should.
Everything else is miles easier than these two parts, but also hard enough that it can end a run. Even when you're past the "hard" parts, you can't feel safe. Ever.
This run was absolutely HORRENDOUS. Mistakes everywhere, really stupid and avoidable wall touches (ones at 0:57 and 1:41 were excusable, 0:59 has no excuse at all), nothing went well in this run (except the u-turn at 1:23, that was pretty good). I had plenty of better runs that died. Maybe I'll beat it someday, maybe I won't touch this one ever again because it's a basement-tier level, but I got what I came for.
I don't think this level is as annoying as 175 personally, mostly because this level is only 2 minutes as opposed to 3 1/2. It's harder in terms of level design, but the hardest parts are at the beginning, and once you're past it, you're past it. You don't have to do it 3 times in a row. On the other hand, though, the trackmaster time on this one is stupid hard, I think it's 1'52"148. When I looked up the trackmaster time for this one, I was dumbfounded. Then again, I made a lot of mistakes on this run and still got it, so I guess I can see why it is what it is. Still nuts, though.
Still have 7 more valley black maps to go (got 175 and 180 out of the way first). I don't even want to think about it.
