"Astounding work, I've already been through a few folders now of tracks I haven't seen since I started playing. Quite incredible that you've single-handedly assembled such a comprehensive LR database! This is of so much value to the LR community." "What a massively ambitious project to undertake. "An incredible and tremendously valuable effort. Who knows how many tracks you prevented from being lost forever, and how many tracks you recovered or unveiled that creators weren't necessarily going to post in the process. "This was a huge effort on your behalf, and it's almost invaluable. For those reasons, I’m going to put a PayPal donate button here, for anyone who came across this page and wants to throw few bucks my way for curating and maintaining the archive: Praise

Additionally, it costs me about $8 per month to pay for the Dropbox Pro account to host it (to be clear, I don't use it exclusively for this archive, but it takes up way more space than anything else).
On the other hand, I’m only monetizing this as a “standard” project despite spending about 10 to 50 times the amount of time I would spend on the typical Line Rider track. I decided to monetize this project, even though it wasn’t a Line Rider video, because I felt like it was an important and worthwhile endeavor.

In the future, I may look into expanding this archive by archiving things like the existing Line Rider websites, or the YouTube channel web pages themselves - but that’s something I’ll decide down the road. This archive is not a done deal, but will continue into the future as more Line Rider tracks are created. The last stage was indexing all the files that needed to be cross referenced, and generally finalizing the whole thing and then uploading it. The third stage was making some long overdue video records of major contests, and digging through all the track files I had collected to put together the videos in the Archival Release series, which was lots of fun. The second stage was going through hundreds of thousands of Internet Archive Wayback Machine webpage snapshots from sites such as I Ride the Lines,, and, and saving the ones that I found relevant to Line Rider history, along with a bunch of additional YouTube channels I discovered in the process (this took forever). The first stage of the process was downloading all the videos of well known Line Rider YouTube channels I could find, followed most of the less known YouTube channels I could find. There were generally four stages in the process. But I formally began this project in January 2016, when I realized that Line Rider videos disappearing off YouTube (for various reasons) was happening with worrisome regularity, and decided to do something about it.

In another way I started it in 2011, when ZNF’s YouTube channel was hit with a series of copyright takedowns that caused the entire channel to be deleted and I set up a YouTube channel to reupload as many tracks that could be found. In a way I started this archive back in 2008, when I started saving my favorite Line Rider videos to my computer so I could be sure I would always have them.
