Just spent an hour on Beach Head trying to get up enough speed to clear that bunker.

Damn you 20 second club.

I got up 1567th. Yay me!!!

Don't worry, i'm a top 100 rider and even I can't seem to clear that gap for the life of me :/

Im not that great but I was competing with a few mates of mine and a few weeks ago i was 9th on this track...

Now this track is super interesting because all the top riders are using the scorpion and I managed a top 10 time with the Phoenix. Not sure this is the right way but it worked for me also cant get that jump with the scorpion)

The trick is to get enough speed on the upward slope to clear the jump. to do this, when you come off the last I beam, you actually throw your weight forward quickly then backwards. This lifts the front tyre up and allows you to carry momentum up that hill. After this, you should be able to clear the bunker. Watch my replay. I was able to get a top 30 time with each bike but I just found I was more consistent with the phoenix. I know i cant get a top place but tbh 9th is actually the best I have ever done on a track. Im probably 50th by now but I was happy with it.

Shall we put it down to fluke?

I've only done it clean about 4 times.

Might give it a bash with the Phoenix tomorrow. I've pretty much nailed that initial bunny hop over the first ramp In my usual Scorpion (although I failed in my best time)

Thanks for the tips dude.

Oh yeah...and I notice a lot of the best timers whack there wheels into the ground but the carry on as normal. Cheating swines
