For example, I decided to try and do the Breakdown today and improve my time. Every time I ever try that course I get a good start maybe 1 in 150 tries, and that usually isn't even perfect in itself. I try all these different methods to get it to work, one time it does, and then I just can't replicate it. Sometimes I try going by muscle memory and other times I do my best to just feel what I should be doing. But either way, that was the exact same position I was in a year ago when trying the Breakdown, and I'm still stuck in that rut. I don't know if there is any advice that you guys could give me, but it would be appreciated.
    Don't think about it when you're playing. Whenever I think about trying to beat my time, I can't do it. I usually mute the game and play music. Try to be relaxed as possible as well when playing. You'll find yourself beating your times with ease when you're not thinking about it (that's what works for me, anyways).

    I think im gonna work on this one a little bit.
    Why do you gotta try and beat me
    This is my highest rank ever... I want to keep it there

    On a good note. I got rank 7 on backyard Cup
    I might try and get a higher rank on this one. I cant hit the big ride right in the tourney.
    If i can then i can cut off probably close to a second.

    Ugh... Would've had 1st on Rock'n'Drop, I was WAAAYYYY ahead of number 1 until the rocks. When I play it now, I gain .300 if I do the rocks smooth...

    Anyways, got 3rd on it. Going to try for first until I have to go to work in a couple hours.

    2nd on Rock'N'Drop... Still another .200 I can take off... Only behind 1st by .051.

    I was .400 ahead of my time and flopped the final drop. Then I had to leave for work. I should be able to take first tomorrow.

    Come on, you can do it.

    Will this be your first world record that doesn't involve using the underground exploit? If so, then grats.

    No I had a tournament for a week, then Slinky took it, then Burnzee took it.

    EDIT: 1st on Rock'n'Drop.

    Just got 92 rings on the 2nd ring of fire so now I'm ranked 99 in +DLC. Once I remove my fault on World Championship and Big Thrills, I will be like 80.
