    Also the Steeple Run jump is difficult to perform as well, take your time on getting a run with the sawblade jump on that.

    Just jump over blade is not so hard. The goal is to bounce of the blade,... seems impossible, but it is possible. I did it,... once, and crashed after on lending.

    Choking Hazard is Tier 3, the most interesting for me,.. of these 4 new tracks...

    Here is one more new... (don't watch it find the route by yourself, like I did,... couldn't load any ghost due to the LB bug I think there is same LB problem on Android.

    @ Lesorsier.....Nice runs as always mate !!

    You're right, the same problem exists on Android as well, I can't view the Leader Boards at-all and definitely can't race any Ghosts as the game crashes before the Leader Boards load properly !!

    I prefer to play and explore new tracks for myself, I only use Ghosts as a last resort when I'm trying to improve on a specific track/time that I'm struggling with BUT until then I like to try and find the lines and learn the track for myself, with that said, I had already made runs on all 4 of the new tracks before I watched your latest videos and it's good to see that the lines that you take on 'Chocking Hazard' and 'Faceplant Precinct' are the same as I had done for my best runs on those 2 tracks as well (for the Donkey, you beat my times by just over a second on both tracks, nice one).....I must be doing something right then or just slowly getting better or both !?!?

    Bounce OFF the blade? Ok, Im aware that you can randomly touch a sawblade once and get away with it if you're lucky, or you would fault normally, but BOUNCE off it? Seems ridiculous but it seems like it works. If only you can do that on WC, but nope. If only...

    Ive had a decent run on all 4 of the new tracks anyway, I think Ive already know the best routes on all of the new tracks, and then I watched your videos and it was exactly the same routes & methods I took as well, except my times on Faceplant Precinct and Choking Hazard might be quicker than yours... But the new tracks are relatively easy-peasy, Choking Hazard is the most difficult to get right but all in all, at least a set of half-decent tracks there.

    I've not tried the ghosts because I don't normally use ghosts unless I was merely curious on a time on a particular track... But judging from what FatalDragon said, it doesn't work, but whats odd is the fact that on Razor Dunes we can get the score with the Donkey, yet we cant get the points normally on RD... Anyway, thats another decent set of Donkey videos lesorsier! Keep them coming!

    I can access the top page of the leaderboards on each track but I can't scroll down or guess what, it freezes, so for me it's the Top 12 times on each track except for Razor Dunes annoyingly, and yes my screen is not as big as anyone elses, meaning I can't view more than 12 names on 1 page at a time...

    You've been in the Top 50 on the Donkey LBs on Android for a while, and again, I'm seeing your name appear more often near the top of the LBs on some tracks, even on Choking Hazard, i think? So something must be right here, but you can only get even better in time, so CLEARLY it's both! Keep it up!

    @HeaverBeaver115 Blade bounce is not my invention. Someone has posted Akrasiia ghost. You on android can check it. So I just tried to replicate it. And I did it in a few tries but crashed after. Didn't know if it is so difficult otherwise I wouldn't delete the video. It is nothing but luck here.

    One more new. There are 2 time savers here. I am still struggling with 2nd one. But 1st looks good

    Makes sense that it would be Akrasiia who has done it that way, since his/her's time is sub-17 seconds on Steeple Run, although I wasn't sure who came with the sawblade bounce trick, so I wasn't sure if that was you or Akrasiia or anybody else... And since we STILL don't have update 4.2.2, players on Android still can't look at ghosts still, well I can't, so I could check Akrasiia's ghost but I can't at this point in time, as much as I would like to see it... But if that trick is based on luck, then maybe it is do-able, but obviously it isn't intended to be done that way.

    Anyway on Razor Dunes, looks like I've missed out on 2 time-savers, done it normally with a time of 20.2 seconds, but the 1st time-saver does look like it saves time but tricky to pull off but it looks like it can save you some amount of time... The 2nd time-saver, I've never managed to get over it, it doesn't look reachable, even for the Donkey, but surely it can be done? I know you almost made it. And if so, does it actually save time as well?

    And again as usual, a very decent and adequately useful Donkey run. Also if that run was on Android, you would be #1!

    Cheers!

    @HeaverBeaver115 You have Steeple Run ghost video on TFG facebook group but you have to search a little as it was posted a few month ago. At first look it looks like a cheater or at least bug. The blade push you forward very fast. But as I said, it is regular - I did it

    As regards Razor Dunes, jump on 2nd time saver was too low and short and I lost a lot of time there. I managed to hit top of the rock with a rear wheel a few times, so it is very possible and faster. But hit both time savers is hard.

    This is much easier - Crow Nest

    I'm not on TFG facebook group, so I wouldn't know about it originally. But I have recently tried the same thing on Steeple Run, barely any success but I have managed to do that once, it does look dodgy, but it's not unfamiliar to me in this game, there are a few other tracks which a sawblade can do the same thing, but not as useful as the one in Steeple Run.

    On Razor Dunes, in order to get a sweet time, you do have to hit both time-savers sweetly, but it's rare to do so though.

    Crow Nest looks easy enough, the trickiest bit is clearly the random bounce you do to get over the ramp, that's the difference between a good time and a great time, but it's not that hard to perform, however, it does look simple in theory, but the positioning has to be right in order to do that bounce, and you can easily miss that opportunity to hit that bounce if your bike or rear wheel isn't low enough, and that saves you about half a second, if done effectively I would say.

    Gem Quarry is easy enough as well, except the time-saver is essentially tricky to pull off, might give that a go soon, I could easily beat my own time there. Another set of some good Donkey runs lesorsier!
