Oh yeah, i knew that was possible but i went for a harder shortcut...which I ended up not using because it was too hard. I decided to i improve my beginning with the other shortcut, just got a slightly faster time. U can race my new ghost now :) The beginning is faster, the end might be a little slower but is still good enough. You need to really hit the steep slope better, so that u get a better run up for the wooden slopes before end. And then the last slope, you need to hit it lower, so you get enough speed to clear the ramp behind and to do the bunnyhop that saves you some time before finish line . Because the bump at finish line slows down. You can do this, my bike isnt even max!

I jumped over to Acrobat Quarters and needed to improve a 150 rank. This is a short track that plays very fast. It’s a lot of fun though and that flip over the spinning wheel is crucial. I had a couple clean flips over tot that would have pushed me higher than the 70 I just hit, but stumbled at the end...

Nice just raced your ghost, you got the one I did and wanted you to see. I like that one since it really pushes you forward and to the concrete base before the steep wall. Solid work!

I have started working on scorched battlement. Its another one of the tier 3 challenge pack. I really like that map, rn Im stuck on the big jump, where you need to use a bunny hop when transitioning into the steep slope. I will try it again, when I have time, im on like 98 rn.
Edit:
I just gave it a few more attempts and got 36. Im very pleased with that time and can confirm, that this track isnt too bad. I think its easier than grand moonshine! Here are some of my tips. After first hill climb, do a frontflip, to get rear wheel over the obstacle faster + it gives you a faster acceleration. (Might clip your head sometimes). Next is the big jump. Lean forward when ur about to go airborne, so that you land low on the steep slope. This is important, so that you can clear the steep slope. The steep slope needs to be hit with rear wheel only, while landing, your rider should be leaning back, but upon impact, you do a bunny hop, so lean forward. The last part might be the hardest bit. You gotta do a bunnyhop on the flat section to get vertical speed and use that moment to clear as much as possible of the steep climb. The more you clear, the faster ur time. I think I nailed the end on my run!
Oh and if you race my ghost, you can save maybe .1 maybe even .2s in the first cp. I had a bad slide on cp1. :/
Oh you can probably get like .5s ahead or maybe even more. Its insane, but the end my ghost always crushes, so I guess i wont try to improve, its fine and im busy.

Oh no! You went back to the top right hand corner, lol. 😀. I need to improve a 130 on that track, so I’ll see what I can do next. Thanks for the pointers!
I moved over to Bayou Boatride from the second map last night to improve a 136. I was able to move up to 95, 94 and 69. There’s a sliding wheelie jump at the 5th checkpoint that’s needed to flips you up the the 6th checkpoint. The stone climb to the last checkpoint is where I struggled on this track. The tighter you can keep to cutting that corner and accelerating after the climb the better. I was able to push my way to 42.

I like Scorched Battlement, it’s tough but a lot of fun. You crushed those last two hops and the crazy climb up the hill to the finish line. I think you gave up some time at the start of your ghost run, but you totally picked up some with a solid finish.
I needed to improve a 130 rank and was able to get some traction by climbing to 112, 96 and then 74. The climb up the hill more than the last bunny hop to the hill trips me up most often. I can get off to a very fast start to that track, but that last sequence sinks the ship... I had a good lead on you with my last run that pushed me to 56, but you shut me out with your wicked strong finish.

Lol. Told you at the end my ghost always crushes!
Im gonna do Boatride tomorrow, i was quite busy today.

Bayou Boatride is done! Got it quite quickly actually, its all about that slide. Got 52nd :)

Nice, yeah I agree that one wasn’t too bad. I slid over to Homegrown to improve a 184 rank. The time saver here is to jump the gaps between the buildings after the 1st and 2nd checkpoints. I was able to hit them after a little practice. I moved up to 171, 167 and then 100. Clearing the hurdle after the steep pipe landing you need to stick and climb took some time for me to hit well enough to push into the top 100. I was able to push up to 60.
Onto the next one.

Homegrown is one of my favourite maps. The steep pipe is also the hardest part for me. Its really inconsistent, i can easily clear it, but hitting it without losing time is hard. The shortcuts arent too bad. Just got a 52.
Edit: I decided the pipe needs cleaning up, so i just spent 30 mins on that track, trying to make the pipe perfect..well i got 37th but the pipe still sucks :/
