I got ExciteBots Trick Racing on July 14th 2009. I porbably was one of the first few people that got it on the board. I played for 5hrs that day. I thought that this game was so great compared to Excite Truck, who knew there was anything better!!!

During the first few months probably until November I was playing offline and just practicing. Buying the bots and racing just for fun. My first name on my proflile was SHADOW, I used the music note icon and raced with the midnight blue bat. I went online after I beat Super Excite. I wanted a new cool icon to suit me, or to suit SHADOW. So I bought the grey face icon and headed to wi-fi. Mt first few races I bet zero because I didn't want to lose my ever so small amount of stars. Eventually I got myself to bet 500 then 1,000 and finally I had the guts to bet 2,500. Things were going great. I wanted to get everything in the game before I stated going online frequantly.

In January I had everything bought and unlokced, except the poker icons. I wanted that gold coin. It was my favorite icon then. I spent most of this month online because I could not play poker for anyting. I got about only 100 stars when I played and ALL of my hands were flushes. So I gave up on learning poker. By this time I had the game for many months to get to the newbie level. I porbably had around 100 wins, but I was racing like a newbie would. I stayed on the main track for the most part because I would crash going off road. The reason why I didn't progress was because I was destracted by Animal Crossing.

February came and I stopped playing AC as freqantly as I did before. So now I had more time to practice. This month I set two goals to myself, one I did not meet. I wanted to have under 100,000 bets lost when I got 9,999,999. I knew about 9,999,999 because I saw someone with it. I think it was JamesSk. I wanted to get to that amount of stars so badly, but I knew it was going to take a while based on how good I was. By this time I re-named myself Shadow, without all caps, and now used the dracula bat. But still I was only averaging at newbie level. Probably 150 on school mexico, 160 on school canada, 200 on school fiji, and 230 on school finland (which was my favorite course at the time).

March, April, and May were just online months for me. I got a ton of practice in these months and I had 500,000 stars. Yes It took me nine months to do only that. Pretty sad. But I was not sad, my skill level was slowly increasing. At the end of May I didn't get much stars becasue of all of the racers that were above me in skill.

June came and I finally wanted to change my name. So I now had the skull and crossbones icon and named my self "Death". I was still getting better but not by much and by now I probably had about 800,000 stars. I was almost to 1,000,000. This would be my best achievment that I would get, so far. A lot more people had their 9's, but I didn't and they were so good. TopStar, BIG AIR, and CodyRs were the people I hated to race. I always got so mad when you bet 0 and came in first. I could of had a better multipier if you guys weren't in my lobby.

Now it was the middle of summer and I got 1,000,000 stars. I was so excited, I felt better, like my skill level increased just by having 7 digets in my star count. I still did not like to race you guys but I eventualy learned to suck it up and just race. From here on out the only thing in EB that I was going to do was play online because I really wanted those 9's. This was the month I hit the wall though. My skill didn't increase, I was stuck. I thought I was never going to get my 9's and stay this way forever. In the summer I was still playing Club Penguin. I was in a room that was super crowded and all of the penguins were gathered in a group based on what state they were from. People were typing CA ROCKS, OH ROCKS, MI ROCKS and so on. Eventually people started shortening Rocks to Rox. People from my state, Pennsylvania, were typing "Pa Rox". I thought, that would make a good EB name. All I would have to do is put the words together. I tried PArox, Parox, paROX but nothing clicked until I tried all caps PAROX. I loved it!!! From then on my name was PAROX with the skull and crossbone icon.
