How you beat my time. Do you play android or ios. I play on ios and can’t see you. Anyway. Im place 18 with the Bandito Bike and that bouncy frontwheel jump is awesome. I really hope i can catch this BMW Bike somedays. Treehouse is my best Donkey run. I updated the Donkey last Week to max. Lets see what i can do on the other tracks. Greets francobanco
I play on IOS. But my ingame name might different, i got two accounts. Ingame name should be stef2499 and the run is 13th on leaderboards, Bandito. You may have to restart the game to update the leaderboard, if you recently grinded on that track.
Ill send you a friend request on Ubisoft connect, then you have an easier time finding my times.
The BMW...hate that bike, game kinda forced people to buy the bike if they didnt play in the event. So i bought it cauz I wanted to get all my leaderboard times improved. I dont know if it will ever go on sale again, tough to get Blueprints nowadays.
Hmmmm. Thanks for inviting. I have login error messages. Can see u in my friend list but not in the world leaderbord. I accept the invite but error messages appear. Midnight run is not working. And a lot of other bugs as discussed. Hopefully somedays they fix it. So i can just play the Bandito Tracks. Doesn’t make sense to improve with the other Bikes when the top 10 runs with Bandito or BMW. I play more Donkey from now. Greets
Yes, Donkey runs are very fun, i urge everyone to give the donkey a chance :)
You cant accept friends ingame, ubisoft changed the system, never updated it in the game. They made a new app called ubisoft connect, basically their game launcher, thats where i sent the request.
Midnight Curcuit has been confirmed by Ubisoft, that they wont put it online again, only bunker. :(
U R right. Im 19th now arrrrrrrrrrr ;-)
Donkey in the beginnings was: Dafug what’s that??:-) But as you said. Give it a shot and i felt in little love with this bike. Funny and frustrating so close together.
Nice runs on Abandoned Mine, 13 and 19!!! Very nicely done! I gave it a whirl with your ghosts and improved from 83 to 59. I’ve had some runs sprinkled in there that I left my ghost behind but always give up my time on the last big jump to the finish line. I’ll need to improve that spot to push any higher.
I also got to race Hill Climb with the Berserker this afternoon. It’s been a very long time since I’ve gotten that track in the bunker... I spent a mess of golden tickets to improve a 398 rank. I didn’t like burning through the tickets, but it was challenging pushing up that leaderboard since the track doesn’t pop up all that often for me. I was able to barely finish in the top 100 at 93.
I could beat my ghost up the first and second climbs, but the wheels came off somewhere on the third climb or that final push over the top to the finish line. I’ll take the 93 for now at least. I hope Bunnyhop pops up next with the Berserker. It’s my worst track finish that I need to improve.
Keep grinding away at those leaderboards!
Simpledots
Hy Simpledots! You play very well as i can see. The last jump on Abandoned Mine is the key. It’s possible to jump trough the finish, but i never made it. And of course the frontwheel bounce. On the most tracks i have, you are in front of me. I hope i can grind it to get the BMW Bike. Hill Climb Track i don’t have. Sometimes it pops up in a duell. I would love to play that track more often. Have a nice one. francobanco
Thank you! It’s by far my favorite game, I grind quite a bit. You are very good as well, I’ve raced your ghosts since we’ve friended in game. You have smooth runs, keep grinding away!
Hill Climb, Bunnyhop and Sine City are all bunker only tracks, so you’ll only get them when dueling in the bunker. They don’t pop up often for me, so that’s why I took advantage of the opportunity with Hill Climb yesterday.

I know this isnt really your speciality Simpledots, but I just did Madhouse on the donkey for fun. My goal was beating my old pb. I got 16th place eventually, it wasnt too bad, I think i can do top 10. The hardest bit for me was the end, I think everyone struggles there. Getting the end itselve for me was quite doable, but doing it fast was hard af. Another hard part was the first cp. Its easy to do, but when you go fast, exactly those become hard. The trick is, to kinda do a small tiny slide in start to get speed but land low on the slope that transitions into the loop. Then you need to drive up the ramp and push your rear wheel away from the vertical wall, thus giving enough momentum to left, to hit the slanted part of the rail (at the top section). This is important, as you need the extra length of the rail, to clear the saw with a bunnyhop. If you hit too far right you are forced to break and reverse, losing so much time, that the run is dead. The next hard part is getting the bunnyhop at the perfect speed, so you can hit the next slope perfectly and clear the next obstacle completely. (Enough speed bit also height is needed to not get stuck on the ramp. It will slow you down). With that you can get a really nice speed bonus for the ramp up and easily clear the next sections, just until end. The end os kinda annoying. I believe its best not to do too much of a bunnyhop. Doing one will lose time and maybe even screw up the transition for last bunnyhop. As i said tho, this is the hardest part. We should do this with the berserker soon, very fun track.
That’s awesome! There’s not many above you on the Donkey Leaderboard Stefan! Great time on a wicked hard track. I need to make a run at that with either the Beserker or the BMW. I’ve dabbled with both bikes here and there, but haven’t put in a decent grind at that track in a while.
I’ve been cleaning up some of my times on other tracks lately, but may circle back to Madhouse soon. I think I’ve cracked the top 100 on another 10-12 tracks or so. There were a couple of riders that zoomed up over my in game leaderboard rank recently. I haven’t ever seen them before, but they’re definitely making a strong push upwards...
All the best,
Jeremy
It’s been a while since I’ve posted about my quest for top 100 finishes. I started racing Fenland Flail last night to improve a 127 rank. This is a fast track with a crucial bunny hop section at the end. I was able to improve to 122 last night, but that bunny hop section was tripping me up.
I resumed the grind this morning and started making some progress on that last section. It’s best to throttle up that first stone column so you can get your bike positioned well enough to make the hops off your back wheel. I finally had a really clean ending to the track that catapulted me from 122 to 6. That’s my first and only top 10 finish! I’m stoked about that finish! I totally didn’t expect to push so far up the leaderboard.
Onto the next one.
Simpledots
Wow, thats an incredible time! Unfortunately I dont own that track, it looks fun. Im missing 20 tracks.
I finally got the traction I needed to push my way into the top 100 finish on Traction Testground.
This is another track that took me a while to even platinum a long time ago. There’s so many spots on this track that can wreck a decent time. It’s a fun and challenging track for sure. I needed to improve a 186 rank and started grinding away last night. I was able to make my way up to 117, but couldn’t climb any higher. I had a ton of solid runs last night with three trouble spots that ruined all my efforts.
My 1st trouble spot happened someplace on the climb back up to the spinning wheel. The second was getting good traction up and over the pipe and my third was the swinging finish to end the track. The most frustrating for me was when I fumbled on that pipe landing...
I couldn’t better my time last night, but I catapulted my way to 55 on my first attempt at the track this morning. I’m happy with the finish. I made several more attempts after that last rank and had much better starts but just couldn’t move up any higher.
Onto the next one.
Simpledots
Oh i love that track! Have u ever done it on donkey? Give it a shot! If you can platinum it it will help you become a lot better for bunker races and general skillset. Really fun track, ill give it a shot.
Oh yeah, I really like that track too, it’s a fun one for sure. I’ve tried it with the donkey, I don’t have a clean run on the track using that bike yet, but I was able to set my record in a bunker run a while back. I’m 177 with a whopping 6 faults. I need to clean it up & hope to go back through to better my donkey times after I accomplish my top 100 mission. granted, if there’s enough time before the plug is completely pulled...
I don’t post my progress as much as I did earlier, but I’m definitely grinding away at these tracks. I finally cracked the top 100 on Cracked Reservoir tonight. This is still a very difficult track for me for some reason and I dread getting the track in the bunker. This was my worst ranked track, behind only bunny hop. I just can’t get Bunny Hop in the bunker with a decent bike to push up the leaderboards... heck, I rarely get that track with any bike for that matter.
Cracked Reservoir is even harder for me with the Berserker which is what I’ve almost always used when trying to better my 376 rank. I switched over to the BMW after a while tonight and started making some progress on just catching my ghost. It took a while longer before I moved up to 217 and kept grinding away to finish at 96. I was in a decent groove by then, so I kept at it and pushed my way up to 44. I think I could push a little higher with a cleaner finish, but I’m stoked to have that 44! 😀
Onto the next one.

Blah, been grinding away at Steam Quarter since yesterday to improve a 163 and made some progress to 109 and then 104, but holy cow is the ending to this track difficult. Perhaps it’s just me, but I can’t seem to get that ending right. I come in with too much speed and can’t stay low enough to sneak into the finish line without wrecking. If I slow down too much, I just give back all my time. Everything before the ending goes smooth so I think I’ll push up the leaderboards with a clean finish, but that seems daunting at this point.
You played that track recently Stefan? Or anyone else? I saw francobanco snuck inside the top 100... well done!
Simpledots
That ending is bonkers, just can’t get a really clean finish there. I almost always come in too high with too much speed and hit the back of my bike on the wooden structure, hit my head or just crash there. The times I don’t wipe out, I’m coming in too slow and just watch my ghost blow by me. It’s a tricky sequence for me. I made minor progress last night improving from 104 to 102, but didn’t crack the top 100 until this morning when I pushed my way up to 84. It ended up being a 3 day grind on that one. I’d love to get a better finish on the track. Everything before the ending is fun, so I may give it a few more attempts. Until then,
Onto the next one.
Simpledots
I admire you for your perseverance. Very good job. The last time i spend 3 days ob a track was the lift and abadone mine. I really want to grind more, but i dont find any time right now. Keep on grinding and hopefully Stefan come’s back. Btw where you from simpledots? Greetings from Austria. Francobanco
Thank you! I’ve had several longer grinds to take down tracks here and there, but they have fortunately been few and far between lately. As my list of tracks get smaller, I’m sure longer track grinds will likely only increase.
Im attacking the island accessible by the wooden bridge from the first map now. I needed to improve my time on all six tracks there. I’m half way through them with a 95 on Refinery Abyss this morning. I’m trying to push my way out of the 90s on that track before moving to one of the other 3 tracks I need to improve. Refinery Abyss has been hard though. I give up my time or overshoot the landing off the mini jump platform that most flip down to. The spaced out scoop ramps before the finish line are tricky as well with me usually overshooting the little scoop ramp.
I’m a rider from the United States. I love how so many people from all over the world play this game. It’s awesome! Keep grinding!
Simpledots
I’m making my way through the island, knocked off Refinery Abyss improving a 191 to a 73, improved a 134 on Melancholy Temple to 57, took down a 254 on Daredevil Paradise by jumping to 59, improved a 264 to an 83 on Fault Village and jumped from 137 to 42 on Alpha Street.
I love that island, the tracks have always been on the tougher side for me, but I was fortunately able to make my way through all but one of them over the last few days. I saved my most difficult island track for last, Rotten Railway. I need to improve a 192, but I feel this may be a longer grind to best this track... That flipping jump off the launching ramp that takes you completely over the entire 2nd checkpoint section is stupid hard for me.
Simpledots
Anyone know if the Bonxy site is down for good or just for some sort of maintenance? I love that site and use it all the time on my quest for top 100 track finishes. It’s been down for a few days already and I’m just hoping it comes back online soon.
Holy Smokes! I finally bested The Quagmire after a 4/5 day grind…. That was the hardest track for me to push into the top 100 on in the game to this point… I started the grind ranked at 177 and just couldn’t get any traction to move any higher with the Berserker. I switched over to the BMW after about a day or so of grinding. Switching over to the BMW gave me just as much trouble starting out, but I decided to stick with that bike going forward.
I finally pushed my way up to 158. Building up and maintaining enough momentum from checkpoint 1 to 2 for the flip to the 3rd is wicked hard for me, no matter the bike. The jump over the wooden platform to 4 and the dropped fall from there trips me up a fair amount of time as well. The hardest and most frustrating spot on this track for me is the climb up the wooden track after the last checkpoint. The Berserker would likely been a better bike for that climb, but the BMW was better for me for the rest of the track….
I just couldn’t get the traction to consistently climb that track to then jump over the gap at the top to cross the finish line with the BMW. I knew it was possible since I saw several ghosts do it, so I kept grinding away.
This track was starting to feel impossible to crack the top 100 on…. I climbed my way to 118 yesterday morning and just couldn’t climb any higher after playing it until my iPad died. I tried again this morning for an hour and a half or so and was able to climb up to 112. After about 10 more minutes from reaching 112, I finally banked a solid climb up that wooden track to finish with a 49 rank. I’m so glad that track behind me now. I celebrated by jumping up and down with my son when I finished that run. =)
I still have the Widowmaker to crack, but I’m moving away from that one for now. I’m worried it’s gonna be another difficult grind. I plan to tackle one of the other 14 tracks I have left to go on my top 100 journey. I have three bunker tracks left in my 15 remaking tracks, so it’ll be difficult to check them off. I don’t get them very often in the bunker and have never gotten them with the bike(s) I need to crack the top 100 with.
Onto the next one.
Simpledots
I decided to just jump over to Widowmaker after besting The Quagmire. It’s a difficult track and one I’ve struggled with more times than not. I needed to improve a 179 rank and couldn’t make any improvements by racing my own ghost which is what I do most often. I also jumped over to race PapaFrey’s ghost which I do a lot as well. I just couldn’t make any improvements to my rank, but I was at least getting through sections more smoothly. I read a post by Rereraser in another thread about him achieving a 90 rank, so I jumped over to his ghost and was able to put together a very solid run that catapulted me all the way to 19. I have no idea what the difference was by racing that ghost, but holy cow was that a big movement up the leaderboard. Thank you Rereraser!
Onto the next one!
Simpledots
I took down my last three non-bunker tracks last night. I needed to improve a 136 on Pipe Basin. While I didn’t get the cleanest race I was at least able to push my way up the leaderboards a few times finishing at 72.
I needed to improve a 138 on Lollygagging and was able to make pretty quick work on that track finishing at 38.
The last track that I had to wrestle with was Toxic Garden. This one was harder than the other two for me as I struggled at a few different spots on this track, but needed to improve a 137. I made my way up to 86 or so but with a horrible finish to the track. I kept grinding for a better ending to the race and was able to put together a very clean run that pushed me up to 21.
I still need to improve three bunker tracks before I can claim 100% top 100 finishes.
Anyone know any tips to increase my chances at getting Bunny Hop, Sine City or Rigged Roadway with decent bikes? I rarely get them in the bunker and haven’t ever gotten them with the bike(s) I see others finish with strong times on the tracks…. I’ve started opening races in the bunker and have been passing on attempts just to cycle through as many opportunities to get those tracks…
I’m going back through to improve my ranks in the high 90’s now, I have a handful of 99’s that I want to improve at least.
I had a blast with this game and will still squeeze out a little more enjoyment while I can.
All the best!

FINALLY!!! Checked off a big top 100 track accomplishment this morning. I can’t remember the last time Bunny Hop popped up in the Bunker for me, let alone with the Berserker…. That finally happened this morning and I took full advantage of my opportunity. I needed to improve a 755 rank on that track and after over 100 golden tickets, I pushed my way up the leaderboard several times before finally pushing all the way to 60. I wish I could have done that jump with half the tickets though, but the first 25 or so was sorta wasted as I was so excited to finally get a chance to topple that 755 rank and push my way into the top 100. It was my worst rank left to improve with The Rigged Roadway (234) and Sine City (227) left to go before I can say I’ve got top 100 finishes on all tracks. I’m close to getting pushed out of the top 100 on Hill Climb (97), so I may need to try and improve that track if I’m lucky to get it in the Bunker again. I just never get those bunker tracks with bikes I can push up the leaderboards with. Just stoked to have the Bunny Hop behind me now.
Happy riding!
Simpledots
WHOA!!! Rigged Roadway with the Phantom happened this morning! These bunker tracks have been so difficult to best. I rarely get the tracks as is, but never get them with a bike needed to push into the top 100…. Stars aligned for me this morning and I jumped on the opportunity to take down one of the last two remaining tracks on my quest for top 100 finishes on all tracks. I needed to improve a 241 rank and made quick progress to 125, but stalled out there for while. I kept grinding and made it rain with loads of golden tickets…. I got close several times, but couldn’t beat my 125 ghost. I finally put a decent run together and took over the 77th rank with 2 hours and 30 minutes left on the clock. What a relief it is to finally check this track off the list. This leaves me with Sine City as the last track to best.
Happy riding all!
Simpledots
I’m still grinding away over here while trying to get Sine City to pop up in the bunker. It’s still the last track I need to crack the top 100 on.
I’ve been improving my ranks in the 80’s and finally made a decent jump on Planks and Mozzies. That time saver jump on the fourth wooden platform was very difficult for me to hit, in fact, I think I only made the jump successfully twice over the last several days as I tried improving an 85 rank… After many attempts, I finally hit the jump and made a small jump up the leaderboard to 75. I kept grinding away to climb my way to 69 with a very solid run without the timesaver.
I considered stopping there, but really wanted to hit that time saver since I was doing much better with the remainder of the track . After a few days of playing off and on with this track, I finally hit the time saver this morning after about 15 minutes. That run catapulted me up to 27. I didn’t have as clean of a start on the first two wooden sections, but I’m happy with the run.
Anyone else struggle with that time saver?
Onto the next one…
Simpledots
I improved my time on a couple older tracks over the last few days. I wanted to improve an 84 rank on Market Street which was one of my lower ranks now in the game. I switched it up and made my push upwards with the Harley-Davidson EV. This isn’t a bike I ever use and I miss the Midnight Circuit races since a lot of the ones towards the end used that bike.
Anyway, after some grinding, I started making decent progress on the track with the EV. I climbed up to 60, then 51 and wanted to see how much higher I could climb. I was able to make some improvements on my way to 40, then 37 and my current rank at 34. I think its possible to push things higher, but am settling in with that last rank. I believe it’s the best rank with that bike, I only found two other riders ranked in the top 100 with the EV…. Anyone up for trying it out? Kudos for those still ranked in the top 100 using the Bronco. There weren’t many of those in there either….
The second track I was able to improve was Crow Roofs. The time saver jump coming off the lifting ramp into the wheelie jump out of that bucket landing was nuts. I fumbled with the timing and angle most often. I was able to hit it more times then the one on planks and mozzies, but it was still tough sledding all the same. I needed to improve another 84 on this track and have tried unsuccessfully off and on for a while now. I went with the KTM 450 Rally on the track like so many others in the top 100. I made progress, but could never put together a clean enough run to push up the leader board. The time saver jump wrecked me more than any other spot on the track. However, if I managed to make that timesaver, the lower transition immediately following would be my undoing. I didn’t make any small incremental climbs on this track, but was able to make one jump from 84 to 31, so I’ll take that for now.
Onto the next one.
Simpledots
Haha! No reason to be sorry Invisibleskill, you had great runs! Especially on treehouse and arch ruins, you crushed the starts of those tracks. I’m a grinder, so it takes me a bit or time to hit those starts like that. Kudos on the runs!
Coal Town is deceptively difficult for me. That back to back sequence where you have to control your jump out of the first belly to wheelie jump over the second belly entirely is a tough nut to crack. I was fortunately already in the top 100 on the track at 85, but I’ve been improving my ranks in the 80s as I’ve waited for Sine City to pop up for me in the bunker with hopefully the Phantom. I may also need to improve a 98 on Hill Climb if that track pops up as well. Heck, I’m still not even able to get into the bunker at all since the last game crash, so who knows if that’ll even happen at all.
Anyway, the back to back sequence on Coal Town is difficult for me, I’ve been grinding away at that track since the Leaderboards came back online. I made a very small improvement from maybe 85 to 84, but just can’t get everything in order to make a bigger push until last night. I managed a decent run that pushed me to 64. I’d love to improve that time even more, but it seems futile with how much I had to grind for that 64… Anyone else have a rough go at this track?
Onto the next one,
Simpledots
I’m at 111 on Coal Town. I raced your ghost but don’t see how I can ever make up the 3/10ths you’ve got on me. Especially with that distracting fluorescent pink bike and bunny ears!
The bunker is back for me this morning after being MIA for a couple months. At least now maybe I can collect the last three pieces of the e-bike I need. For what purpose, I have no idea!
What’s with the banner that says the forums are closing? I followed the link to the new site but I don’t find anything TF related there. Do you think this means our days of conversing about the game are over? I’ll admit, I’ve never posted very often but it’s nice to pop in every once in a while and see what people are talking about, as limited as it is anymore.
Haha, I’d much rather have that Red Bull paint scheme for that bike, but never unlocked it, so have to rock out with the fluorescent pink over the base paint job for that bike. I’ve had that bunny head for so long in the game now though, I think all my top runs now have that head to toe skin setup. My son likes to change everything up on me from time to time, so I keep what he does for a little bit before changing everything back.
As for the forum, I didn’t see anything TF related at that other link either. Maybe it’s because we haven’t started anything there yet or maybe it’s because the game is end of life…
It sucks since there’s still an obvious following.
All the best,
Jeremy
