    Alternate and faster route on Epic Jumps!?!

    This is my first post so hello to all!! . I am a descent rider most of my times are in the lower bracket. I rode Epic Jumps over and over and over til I almost mastered it and called it my own. The GT is Mr x rocknroll. I was once 4th in the world and tried and tried to master my alternate route but it escapes me every time. You can watch my video on the LB, I believe I am currently ranked 14th or 15th something around there. I use the Scorpion for its top speed and found a new way to finish fast. As far as I know I was the only one at the time that high in the leader boards who found that route? When you watch my video tell me what you think? Is there a way to master and show Lestropie or Redrider a thing or two lol? I wanna know what you guys think.

    I'm really not sure if you have found a faster route or not, but you may have better luck posting it in this thread because that's basically where all of the unknown or recently discovered shortcuts are talked about in. Hopefully you actually did find something new though!

    Scorpion is 2 seconds slower. don't use it.

    It depends how you ride the bike, if you use tech more to maintain speed, then evo is the way to go. If you like just ridin flat out, the scorpion would benefit more. Most noobs would use the scorpion for Epic Jumps, its hard to see where you can go fast technically but its there.

    Just watched your run and you didn't do anything different from the rest of the top 20.

    The only thing that is stopping you from getting a lot higher is using the scorpion.

    IMHO - I reckon the scorpion might be quicker in places if done correctly I reckon there is a second or 2 in some places but the Phoenix is better in others. It's a tricky one.

    58.291 is the fastest I've done with the scorpion (almost a perfect run)

    57.189 is the fastest I've done with the phoenix
    (half decent run)

    yeah half decent, the record you made with the run before your current number 1 was just beast.

    Is there any improvement from the beginning, mind you the bounce method used by a phoenix bike helps loads doesn't it.
