    She will be around after the 23rd, the Original UE won't!

    Just kidding. True Love.

    I found a way that's pretty fool proof for both obstacles, for the fist suspended box, I immobilize my bike while leaning forward at the near right end of the ledge, then I bunny hop by hitting left+throttle then right (be gentle) so that the bike ends up being nearly vertical and as soon as it's done, I LET ALL GO, ready to hit the brake and only the brake, and only when the rear wheel has bounce past the corner, and only your front wheel will be on the ground while you brake. Rinse and repeat for the second one and the 3rd is easy. When I do it this way, I hardly ever fault at all, the hard thing at first was letting all go because I am a control freak Do NOT try this while on your UE run, but it could help a lot to perfect that technique in the standalone track.

    For the part after the backflip, the easiest way for me by far was to land on the boxes instead of going straight for the steel plate, I tried jumping with many "fool proof" ways that ended with me landing too far or not far enough a few times until I went the other way, which you can still recover without crashing if you fall left of the boxes back unto the backflip part.

    Anyway, wish you luck, you can do it.
    thanks QC but the UE is a bridge too far for a guy like me!

    i've not got the bottle to play the UE for 20 mins then NOT make some stupid screw up. plus i'm just not good enough yet, even though i know this is last chance... o screw it, i'll give it a couple of hours tonight

    what a great couple of days it would be if i platinumed inferno ii one day (last night woo!) and then zeroed UE the next day. unlikely, but possible
