Map Description
This map is set in a large stunt show arena. There are various boost ramps for wheeled vehicles. Almost all of them work for the Scorpion, Hellbender, SPMA, Paladin and even the TC-1200. Only three of the boost ramps are limited to Scorpions and Hellbenders: The one on the top of the tower and the two quarter pipes left and right of the Energy Turret defending the central power node. Some of these boost ramps have pyrotechnics attached to them.
Another feature of this map is its use of the Vehicle Stunts and Vehicle Pickups mutators. These are always enabled when playing this map. A few map features, like the Double Damage powerups floating in burning rings can only be reached via boost ramps, using a vehicle stunt jump.

Trivia
- Far away in the large stands is a fan with a buzz cut and a T-shirt saying "Gorgeous Gorge".
- During weekly FragBU events, this map was almost never played seriously. The majority of the times this map was played, it was used strictly to goof off.
- ONS-Tricky is one of three maps (the others are CTF-Geothermal and DOM-ScorchedEarth) with typographical errors in their audio properties that cause them to not have associated music. In Tricky's case this is because the mapper typed 'KR-Action2v2.ogg' into the map's audio properties, mistakenly including the file extension. This causes UT2004 to look for KR-Action2v2.ogg.ogg instead. To enable music for this map, name an ogg music file KR-Action2v2.ogg.ogg and place it in your UT2004 music folder.
