15.101.. on about my 6th attempt at trying the top run!!!!! I was at 15.3 with the bottom run so i actually think the top is better!Originally Posted by Nytmair
Now im not sure again. I have not beat my time but using the bottom run i think I can get under 15s if i put it all together... Im just not sure which way is better..
I can't even get a good start on the top run. Where are you guys landing when you come off the top slope? On the brown bouncy thing, or before it, or not jumping at all?
Best thing I get on the top route is landing on the right of the brown thing and bounce right over the gap. Sub 15 is definitely possible with that one, but on the other hand with the bottom route, too. I just mess up the end everytime...![]()
Yeah that's what I've been doing. Landing on the right side of the bounce to land across the gap, land on the branch, bounce to the other branch, over the gap onto the little ice there. I think that's the fastest. I can't figure out the best way to finish the track though.
I've been letting go of forward at the top of the last ramp to make sure I get a nice smooth run down it then jump the small incline and sprint down the slope to finish.
instead of going slowly, i do a small jump over the crest of the last big drop so that i land on the downward slope to clear the final lip for the finish line.Originally Posted by EuphoricFusion
I just did a sub 15 second run, this time using te bottom path. I have never seen a track that actually had a number of equally fast techniques. It is really balanced and it just comes down to personal preference... Im still only 33rd for the day and there is no way i'll beat that.
I am starting to realise that the physics based things (springs, sticks etc) are actually normally to be avoided for a fast run. They actually slow the momentum down. I got a good time by actually jumping over the sticks and springs and just running my *** off!
Im sure that will not always be the case, but for this track the only boosts i get are from the last 2 sticks.
Good luck. Im out. 11.30pm here. You have 4 and a half hours to beat me!
Special mention to EF. Man you got close to me with that 15.110 when i had a 15.101. That would have been so frustrating.
I am sure to wake up and see my placing fall but that is all I have in me today.
Nice job dude, have a good night... i'll see if I can pull a good run before the cut off.Originally Posted by FatShady
See you for day 4!
Im off for a little survival camping trip over the weekend. Will do my gold medals but no more over that time so I won´t be competing against you
And by survival I mean too much beer![]()
Yeah I did noticeOriginally Posted by FatShadyI just can't beat my time so I think you are safe for today.
