Pipe Network secret area - Need help | Forums

[FatShady Live]

Hi all,

Have searched but could not see this posted anywhere.

I was playing Pipe Network last night trying to catch up on my plats (haven't played much of the DLC yet).

Anyway, From the start, you go up a ramp, over an upwards facing pipe opening and then onto another ramp which at the end of it shows a broken pipe leaking steam. If you go slowly off this (under the big pipe) you will fall onto a pipe that falls when touched. Now there is two ways to go. If you manage to get the momentum right, you can ride the upper pipe for a few mtrs but you hit a dead end. If you go backwards, you hit a bunch of spinning X's that pulverise you as you die.

Now, there is another way to go. If you drop down from the top, go backwards towards the X's but using throttle control, balance yourself before you fall, then with the least amount of speed possible, fall backwards, making sure to have you wheels parralell to the ground and weight evenly distributed. As you touch down, accelerate immediately to counter the backward momentum just enough to regain control... Now, here is where I got stuck last night.

When you get down there, there is a long pipe that you can ride along and then it turns sharply upwards. The angle is greater than 90 degrees (overhang). It is tricky to get down here but I was not able to progress past this point. I have tried a few times but keep crashing. My theory is that if you use the overhang to do a back flip onto the pipe above, this may be either a shortcut or lead to some more easter eggs.

If someone has already done this, please link to vid, otherwise, let me know if you have got past this point and how. I only managed to try about 5 times before i had to carry out some domestic dutire (Dishes) then sleep, but have been thinking about it all day.

I was not able to get a vid of my efforts as this is performed from the first check point and I have no live capture devide so would have to record each stuff up also.

Any info is appreciated.

There are atually two ways to make it to that waste disposal. The one you mentioned, between starting point and checkpoint one and the other is between checkpoint two and three - which is the other part you mentioned where you say you got stuck. This little gap is used to get DOWN there. It's simply an alternative to the method you described. Drive slowly between checkpoint two - three and you should see it immediately.
