...but I can't do the first jump and clear the 2nd ramp - every time I land on the 2nd ramp. If I could clear it I'm sure it would save me a couple of seconds. On the replays people seem to clear it with ease but I just can't do it. Help! What am I doing wrong?

Wheelie up the first ramp (front wheel just above the ramp) then as soon as you get near the top, shift your weight forward. Might take a few goes but is definitely worth it.Originally Posted by TWUK

You don't NEED that shortcut for plat. 95% sure.
You dont need that shortcut if you do the lift platform shortcut which I actually find easier TBH.
Yeah, you don't need that for plat, especially if you do the lift shortcut.
Just go light off the first ramp, touch the second ramp briefly, and drop down to the dirt. Don't fly off the second ramp at all.
would be alot less stressfull to take out any shortcuts that you dont 100% need trust me

I actually have the platinum for this track and for some reason I cant hit that jump either. So it is possible to get the Plat without making it if you use the second shortcut (the elevator).
I second (or third, or whatever-th) not trying to do the long-jump off that first ramp. I've never managed to make it. FOcus on a clean landing and do your best to minimize airtime over the 2nd ramp, possibly by brushing the brakes.
The big time saver is the elevator cut, but also if you get the rhythm of the front flip over the motocross bumps prior to the elevator then you can blow right past the plat time with seconds to spare.

Not really. Considering it is the start point. You mess up, you restart. Like 2 metres away.Originally Posted by Barrybarfly
If you make it, you have a good chance of rinsing your mates. Going the 'normal' route....doesn't make sense anymore.
