"at the mo'" lol I like it. Good job dude, keep it up, strive for top 500 next and keep it rolling! As for the swing, that is one of the few shortcuts that I don't employ at the moment. It's too hard for me to nail it perfectly and the reward isn't monumental. I'm ranked 30 on it (last time I checked, probably lower now) but I am still behind the top time by just over 2 seconds, which is a lot, but I don't think a lot of that is from just that timesaver. Maybe someday I'll go back but I hate that track anyways.

Well at least one person gave me some good words and answered this time (out of 99 views) Cheers Justin, it's appreciated mate, 500 is my next target as well and after getting a few more Plats earlier I think I'm sitting 860th at the mo' !!
Also, Yeah that swing IS hard to land but I still feel it would give you that extra you're looking for IF you can land it right but then again we all have our own riding styles and we go with what works for us at the time as it is a pain of a track in places.....Anyway, good luck with it !!

congrats! now it will get only harder...you will need to redo every track to make a better time, wich is sometimes really anoying. About the casino rooftops i did it without the swing but it seams not that hard....
im trying to break under 300 now, i calculated that i could be about 210 if i would just go and make these island levels on platinium. but nah, i hate them :P
i hope to see you here under 500 someday fataldragon69

Thanks k4kshi, I've not got many left to Plat now but I'm feeling the strain already as I'm no master rider yet (may not ever be) but I'll keep trying as I'm still new to these Trials games and definitely addicted !! 
I've still got a few more Tracks to open and a few more to get Plat on as well, so I'll hopefully get into the top 500 at some point !!
Good Luck with your goals as well, I'm not a fan of some of those Island Tracks either but I've managed to get Plat on one and Gold on the rest so-far, but I can't see myself getting Plat on them all any time soon, especially on Melancoly Temple.....I hate the start of that with a passion but in my opinion there are a few harder Tracks than the Island ones now so I've got those to look forward to as well !!
Anyway, Cheers again mate, it's appreciated.....See ya on the Tracks !!

Congrats! Have you unlocked all the tracks yet? If not, make that your next goal. That will make it a lot more pragmatic to crack the top 500 and then, if you've got what it takes, the top 100. I've been slacking and let my rank drop to around 140. I have all the tracks unlocked, but have a few plats I still need to get. If you're feeling defeated and need a boost in morale , don't forget about the Donkey! The leaderboards are sparse by comparison and climbing the ladder is easier. Good luck on your climb up the mountain!

Good Job, FatalDragon69!
Like everyone else suggested, get all the tracks first, It's the easiest way to enter top600. Then after getting all of those platted, you are in top300 maybe.
After that start all over to improve times on early platted tracks, I'm here currently.
I'm on my mission to get all track times in top300, hopefully that is enough to enter top50 on the global leaderboard. Currently I'm 81th.

Thanks for the Congrats, Advice and Words of Wisdom peeps, it's much appreciated !!
Since I had my little "Mission Blitz to the End", that I post about a little while back, I've been chasing the other Tracks that I'm missing and I'm only 9 away from the Big 150 (check my Sig') I'm pretty sure that I've got all the Tracks that are available from the Slot Machine now (according to the "Slot Machine Rewards Summary" post made by xitooner.....Great job with that xitooner and Thanks for taking the time to make it as well, it's been very handy mate) So am I right in saying that the remaining Tracks I'm missing can ONLY be opened/attained by buying them from the "Chip Store" in the Bunker !?
The next Track available to me in the Chip Store at the mo' is "Nightmare Grotto" costing 15.000 but I've only got 4781 as it hasn't been long since I bought the Track before it, so it's going to take a fair bit'o'grinding time before I'll have all the Tracks, hopefully I'll find a few people that will play Ping-Pong with me along the way as I've only bought a few from there so-far and I've heard they get pretty pricey towards the end as well !?
I'm also only about halfway to getting all the Blueprints for the Donkey, so at least I'll have that to be playing for as well while grinding for Chips in the Bunker !!
Anyway, Thanks again to ALL, Nice one !! 
P.S: I've just managed to get 2 more Plats which has taken me to Rank 802 now !!
P.P.S: Congrats flooodi on 81th(st) Great Job mate and Good Luck with your Top 300 Mission as well !!

You need 9? Nightmare Grotto has 6 other tracks behind it, so that is 7 of them.
Have you done hill climb, bunnyhop, and sine city in the bunker? Do you have dark machine? Purifier? Great Wall? Whats your last anba track?

Hey man, that's great. I have been working for a while to break exceedingly tougher rank landmarks, and I think everyone here is right that unlocking tracks should be priority #1. If you don't have cornelius costume unlocked, do it now if you have the diamonds. That's weeks worth of grinding saved when you add up the total chip costs of the later bunker tracks. Each of those tracks you haven't locked yet are worth at least around 700k once you get the platinum, and probably 800+ for any of the ones you can really master (the best android players are averaging over 825k per track). In the meantime keep doing what you are doing, collecting those platinum medals and learning to handle the bikes. Also keep going with those upgrades. Personally I hated trying to maximize my track times during the times where my bike's handling and speed were constantly changing, and I enjoy setting records much more now that my bike is going to stay the same forever.
You sort of lose a sense of something to strive for in the game eventually, but that is why "end game" players find the leaderboard and/or the donkey bike so important these days.
