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.

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

The trick is.. not to bounce, but simply jump over the pole... :roll:
It is something you just get the hang of after playing the lev for a while... :)

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.

I don't get- Islands bounce.

curva style

haircut

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

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.

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)

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 :/

I´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 it´s choosable but it already says "always off" so i don´t know...

About haircut: I made the spin at the rock :P of course not as speedy as mopo but still... it´s a breaktrough :wink:
