    Elevation-Elevator shortcut

    So presumably most of you know what I mean by the major shortcut on Elevation where you start accelerating whilst the elevator is still going up and you fly through the breakable wood. However, there is 2 outcomes of doing this, one being much much faster than the other. The slower outcome is where you go through the wood and land just before that pile of wood and tyres on top a car that forms a ramp. The faster option is that you clear that pile of debris and land just short of the entry to the half-pipe.

    Recently I've been trying to get myself into the top 10 on the leaderboards for this track but can't find a way of consistently clearing that obstacle, I find myself constantly landing short of it or even on top it, effectively getting the body of my bike impaled on it with my wheels spinning in mid-air; evidently it's not recommended.

    So does anyone know a consistent/reliable way of accelerating off the elevator so that you clear the obstacle? If so help me out Please

    I've tried watching replays and all that but all I can get from them is that you have to wiggle your stick back and forward in mid-air and I think you have to be leaning forward as you go through the wood. But I try these things and still land short of the obstacle

    Make sure your as far back as you can be at the start of the elevator, and then bunnyhop off it. I can't help you with breaking through that wood tho.

    Wigglin back n forth doesnt do anything. Its just for show. You will want to accelerate with both tires on (lean back) the bridge then do a quick hop at the end just right as you jmp off. The bridge will give you enough air but you need to make sure you get all the forward momentum to clear it as well. Try hittin the planks with your front tire so you dont get impaled.

    The vid above shows the absolute best way it can be done possibly- watch the controls closely and youll know what you have to do and when. Good luck.

    ah, thanks a lot. I didn't know you had to be leaning back on the elevator and I didn't know you had to bunny hop off it as opposed to just driving off it. I also didn't know the back and forth stick movements had no beneficial function. Thanks again

    The bunny hop was definitely what I was missing. Just tried it a few times and it worked a treat Just got to fine tune everything now to take off 0.25 seconds to get top 10
