I love the game, just dont want to play it hardcore to the max and try to get 36 minutes total time, yes in the future i will get under an hour. but im really in no rush at all. lots of time.

Yeah crypt, here's a tip. When your total time is still so much over 1 hour, just dont try to be like pros with tt under 50. Dont try to compare yourself to them, dont try to be like them, just play enough and one day you will have tt under 50 minits.

That is soooooooo wrong, i went from 58TT to 53TT on about 5 days when i was trying to be like the pros, you need one thing to improv fast when you have such high TT, and that is styles, because you dont need good runs, just shorter runs and youll improv very much.

In short: play more.

and everyone i never said i was trying to do the headbanger shortcut, i said when i saw the replay i said to myself i was never gonna be able to do that. I havent attempted the shortcut once.

i really don't get Loop-de-loop start style and I am a bit angrey about it now

. U know, i can do it, my time is 18,2 there but when I merge with t0r's he is so omg fast. I watched the rec like million times but couldn't figure any difference between my and his style. Does vsync affect this or what?

JuXa · Post by **JuXa** » 30 Apr 2005, 12:03

I don't get Steppes. Start goes ok, but when im going to bounce over the pole, i don't have enough speed.... must merge and check what goes wrong...

The trick is.. not to bounce, but simply jump over the pole...

It is something you just get the hang of after playing the lev for a while...

Should I say like this: the kuski is gasing and i press alo. Then -> and one alo. Brake. ->. Gas... what then?

Just play it more and youll get the hang of it...i play it vsync ON, later tried with OFF but found the start much harder.

islands bounce... ok i didn't exactly try for very long but i never seem to get enough speed for bounce. or like, i do get bounces, but they are generally too weak and balle directions. and i know my tune is good because i get superb bounces in hi flyer.

HOW TO GET FAST START PLZ FFS K10X

A.K.B. · Post by **A.K.B.** » 16 Apr 2006, 05:03

I don't get- Islands bounce.

curva style

haircut

fruit in the den bounce at the end

bumpy journey - how is the mopo rec so much farther infront of me?! I do the flying start as well!

and a few others. I DO get the lab pro bounce- just hard.

You simply have to copy the moporec...volt for volt, thats what i did...

Sometimes instead of right volting into it, u gotta alo into it, and sometimes u gotta volt out of it....

But u have to make sure u hit ur wheel off of the 'spikey' thing right before the bounce, it gives substantial speed

Honza · Post by **Honza** » 16 Apr 2006, 07:21

Island bounce ... ez
curva ... after some hoyling with higher skill
haircut ... not so hard(I've already done it - just 45:98, but did it)
fruit ... there's nothing special about jumps and bounces
bumpy ... you just have to copy mopo run

Is there anyone who can make the headbanger shortcut 7/10 times or better? because I've only made it there twice but never got all the way through.

yep: TorInge, Zweq, Luther, John, Kuper, axxu & co...

No, there's nobody that can do it 70% over a long period of time. Quite impossible. 40% is about the absolute limit.

there was a competition at few (first one who does 100 pipes), axxu won i think with some a bit over 50% (when you counted time)

Ramone · Post by **Ramone** » 18 Apr 2006, 07:37

if I do pipe once / hour I am pleased. of course the chance that you will accually finish that ride is about 0%

If you mean FEM it was 50 pipes. And it took 34mins 30secs (I was second with 34 pipes). So there you can count that one pipe through took 41.4secs. A normal pipe through takes about 23 secs (with replay saving etc) and a normal fail 13 seconds. So I would say a bit less than 50%.

Also worth mentioning that axxu hadn't practiced the level at all, at first he wasn't even going to participate. Of course less pressure then too.

Everytime I do that, my head goes in the ground. Dunno if you mean that the spin goes automatically but if you mean that I should have more speed to make it I really want to know.

Edit: Merged with mopo and we have similar speed :/

Honza · Post by **Honza** » 20 Apr 2006, 19:40

Bogart, I had the same problem when I was samely skilled like you, don't be worry just keep playing elma, tricks like these will come in right time for you.

Moises · Post by **Moises** » 20 Apr 2006, 20:21

just don't give speed right after pressing enter, only a few millisecs after

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 20 Apr 2006, 20:50

1.) VYSNC OFF!!!! it's nearly impsy with on
2.) doens't exist, vysnc off is all you need to know

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 20 Apr 2006, 20:54

vsync off?! are you really sure?

Lukazz · Post by **Lukazz** » 20 Apr 2006, 20:54

i'll try now...
EDIT: yep, really sure

Bogart · Post by **Bogart** » 20 Apr 2006, 21:18

IÂ´ve tried to change to vsync off... but after some reading in problems/vsync I think that it already is

in my Direct 3d it says like this: wait for vertical sync... and itÂ´s choosable but it already says "always off" so i donÂ´t know...

About haircut: I made the spin at the rock

of course not as speedy as mopo but still... itÂ´s a breaktrough

Honza: Thanks for your impressive "keep on trying" speech
