    check my ghost , i ve done it but not the way that floodi' s pic showing....i ve done it straight from the way that all going but instead of jumping from the second ramp ,that picture shows ,i kept my wheels on road instead of jumping and did the jump on wheelie...i have this on my ghost number #80 on iOS 23.230 time without doubt Kartank's ghost was like 1,5 second in front of me before the jump and and he was like 0.800 after the jump so i guess it s huuuuge time saver...check my ghost the rest of the run is horrible but the time saver is exactly what u should do

    Nice to hear..!
    Once I get my mantis maxed out I'll try again..garbage route can just be a bit annoying but if you get that part right as well as the rest of the track it might just do the trick..especially if no one in the top ranks used it..might be the tweak to get ahead..
    However I am not as good as most of you guys.. (around 1200 global LB) best rank I have on a track is 75 I think...but you never know

    Thanks for advising and watching my video !! :>

    Cheers!
    Whoa dude! I did not know that you were on this forum (the first video I ever watched of you was for frog village to see how to get over the darn frog..well my Tango was far below the needed upgrades xD)! Thanks for redoing it and posting the video! This is exactly what I talk about !!!
    Do you feel that it can actually help to beat the top times?
    AS for the two answers above..unfortunately I am on Android..so no chance to watch your ghost

    I am not able to supply a video, but I have a better route for pulling this shortcut off, as directed by the arrows in each photo. It can be viewed under the cut.

    Spoiler:  Show
    1. Instead of doing the jump in the route normally used, brake very hard so you can just drop over the edge and go onto the first curve.


    2. When you land up here, try to lean back just slightly and do a wheelie off of the ramp. A lot less of your speed will be put towards vertical momentum and more towards horizontal. You still need enough speed to make the jump, however.


    Again, you can view my ghost to see me doing the shortcut as well as I was able.

    Thanks !!

    I find the reception more difficult than just manage the timesaver.

    I hit my head a lot of times...

    I think we can do with a good run 20.XXX

    I let my run like that but if VesiusCuniculus beats me, i will return on the track !!

    I got a decent attempt at this timesaver for android with the 6th place ghost if anyone wants to check out what it looks like when done (reasonably) well. I will keep trying to improve and maybe take over the world record, I was definitely ahead of GTDave after the shortcut, but it's hard not to mess up the ending!
