Cave Entrance, I'm stuck in the Top 3%

I got stuck on that track too on 1%. I don´t recall what i did on my best run though. I know for sure what i did NOT do. On the very first jump i tried sliding into it on a wheelie and doing a flip. I think that´ll save time but the two times i managed to do it i botched the landing.

Can you describe what you think is the best way to do the run so others can compare?

I've cracked the 7mill mark but I'm hoping to improve my times a bit more before this week's done, Also hoping that the score I'm missing from the first track will appear at some point as well, so I won't post my score just yet ok !?


On a different note.....I can't seem to get any quicker with the KTM on the Cave Entrance, I'm stuck in the Top 3% and I've tried everything I can think of but I just can't get a quicker time than I've got so-far !!

So my question is.....Am I missing something or is there a new trick to do with the KTM on this track.....Has anyone got a little advice please as it's starting to stress me out a bit as I've had countless runs on there now !?!?



!! ANY Help or Info will be MUCH Appreciated !!

This one is tough, but I got into the top 0% somehow. Try to optimize every movement (obviously). The beginning ramp go up normally, about 1/3 of the way up start tapping lean back to gain a bit of speed (your head should just pass under the ceiling. Small jump over the gap and try to maximize time on the ground, same with the very next jump...do a quick lean forward to get back on the ground and lean back as you land to maximize speed through the loop. Here comes the big timesave part. Lean forward approaching the next jump but let go of the gas (maybe tap brakes too if you must) and try to only get minimal air and land on the down ramp, lean back and do your best bunny hop to try to either clear or just get to the tip of the final slope (after the bone). On the way down try to back wheel it the whole way and then back wheel and quick lean forward through the finish.

I hope that helps.

Also, I'm done with my grind for the week. Finished top 0% in all tracks again, total score is 7,340,220 (58 on LB).

Thanks for the reply mate, basically I've been doing what justinman has said below.....Except I do a quick/small front-flip over the first ramp after the see-saw thing at the start, other than that I've been doing what he said !!

Thanks for the in-depth reply mate, as I said above, this is pretty much exactly what I've been doing (apart from the front-flip) but the way the KTM is upgraded at the mo' it isn't quite quick enough to completely clear the tip of the final slope.....Well, if it can, I haven't managed it yet and I've tried MANY times !?

I really thought there was something I was doing wrong or maybe missing something that the KTM can do etc. etc. but I guess I just have to do like you said and optimise each part of the run whilst maximising the amount of time my wheels are on the ground and HOPE I can get a quicker time before the end of this week.....At least I know I'm not missing anything !!

Yeah I couldn't get over the tip either but I got basically on the top and kind of did a quick bounce over and got my wheel down fast too pick up speed. Other than that it's such a basic track that you really need to optimize ground time and maintain speed since so many riders will have similar fast times.

Hey did you make it? I managed to improve 0.087 and that was enough for 0%. I´ve been doing what justinman described too, i tried doing a frontflip after the first jump like you do but i kept feeling i was staying up in the air too long, so i went back to regular jumps. The trickiest part for me is coming out of the loop and having to brake just right so as to not overshoot the jump.I suck at braking. Once i got it though all i had to do was bounce just right at the top of the big hill. On my PB i actually went down the hill in a very sloppy manner but braking just right and bouncing just right was enough for the 0.087

Congrats mate.....Nice one !!

I've only managed to improve my time by 0.014 so-far, which improved my rank and score a TINY bit but obviously not much, I just can't seem to find the extra speed and I've tried with and without the front-flip along with MANY MANY other variations and tweaks here and there but I haven't given up yet and time isn't up yet either.....So I'll try a few more times before time's up and hopefully I'll get my time down some more !!


Thanks for the reply and Congrats again !!
