I don't know what the devs were thinking, but that timesaver at Trapeze Churn is about impossible with the Mantis. The plank that comes after the bouncy board always pushes me back before I can even get over it.

Well, people thought that shortcut at Balance Avenue is not possible, but I proved opposite It's extremely hard though, and I did it maybe 8 times in total out of who-knows-how-many attempts.
I think the same applies to the Trapeze Churn. I'll try when I have time and patience

After I saw you do the timesaver, I tried to do it too.. And failed miserably. That is one cheesy timesaver, for sure.

Unfortunately, in that video I did it very bad. I had a better one in a ghost which is not available anymore.

RedLynx has always been known for some crazy timesavers. Some are easier then others, and some still are just downright devious. But that's what makes Trials have such high replay value. If it were easy enough for everyone to do it, it wouldn't be much of a timesaver now, would it.

I'm not saying the timesaver should be easy. I mean "cheesy" in a positive way. It's so cool if you hit such a cheesy timesaver and you actually pull it off too. But then later, you're like:" How on Earth did I ever manage to do that?" That's what makes the Trials games a lot of fun.

Watch this!
Trapeze churn is much much easier than Balance Avenue, but still tricky.

Even with such non-perfect ending I would shave off about 500ms compared to alternative way.
With a perfect ending, I bet it would be at least 800ms less than current WR.
And I see much more potential on how the jump should be done properly..

Yes! I know how to do the Trapeze Churn!
When you land and the swinging arch, you should jump to the next arch on the right in a wheelie, from which you do wheelie-powered jump and land on the rear wheel of the horizontal platform with the spring at the end, thus you bounce off and almost jump over the wooden wall! It's hard... And I still cannot clear the very first jump..

P.S. secret revealed, back to Balance Avenue..

Finally did the Trapeze Churn last shortcut in one run.

Oh god...I rather try to set a 12.000 in quagmire than try doing this

Haha, it's much easier than you think. The technique is:
- do not go too fast
- land on front wheel, and then immediately accelerate and lean backward
- you hit your rear wheel at the end of the platform, which has a spring underneath - this gives you vertical boost
- keep leaning backwards for a while in the air, then start leaning forward, rear wheel must hit the wooden wall first
- when you touch the wall, keep leaning forward all the time, but accelerating only half way. This is a key point. If you keep accelerating all the time, you'll be bounced off back, but if you depress it after getting a grip with the wall, you will jump over it.

When you finally jump over the wall, you need to land perfectly on the arch platform to get speed, otherwise it won't work. Then just accelerate, lean forward, land on the rear wheel on the final platform, do wheelie, and do the wheelie-powered jump under the falling barrel - you should finish head first without touching the barrel.

Good luck
