The easiest/hardest trick?

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 13 Apr 2004, 11:15

The hardest trick that I have done, must be the freefall shortcut, I used so many freaking hours on that siht

, I even did zig zag brutal volt and headbanger shortcut faster.

Easiest is hard to say, caus when is something a trick, a shortcut or ? But I remember Steppes over teh pole was one of the first big shortcuts I did.

LOLOL tijs, "freefall trick is ez, going back is another problem"

its like saying "labpro bounce is ez, but doing the bounce is another problem"

triangle is easier than warm up 15secs for me.
getting to the flower is harder than finishing labpro in 01:30 minutes without bounce for me.

Well, earlier that first part seemed so far way for me, but not anymore, understand?

btw, i did not say 'EZ'
(and yes now it is very easy to the triangle, warm up under 15 is harder indeed. good boi.)

I mean those humps and bumps that ppl uses to gain speed....They put their backwheel on to it and kinda throws themselves forward - gaining high speed.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 14 Apr 2004, 16:16

that IS a bounce.

chux · Post by **chux** » 14 Apr 2004, 18:28

No, he means like, y'knwo on Flat Track, theres this really steep part (with no grass) and as you land you push your wheel against it and it boosts you a bit...at least i think thats what he means

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 14 Apr 2004, 20:11

Like you do in steppes with 17 secs style?

John · Post by **John** » 14 Apr 2004, 20:18

I think he means the trick u do to push away and being able to do that endtrick on Hill Legend for example.

i think ur right (btw isnt it 18 sec style

)

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 14 Apr 2004, 21:13

actually the 16 sec style. (

Kopaka · Post by **Kopaka** » 15 Apr 2004, 14:01

facking depends on how fast u do it

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 15 Apr 2004, 14:13

ye ye sure. U gotta name it something and it should be 18 sec style or you will maybe mix it up with the 12 sec style.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 15 Apr 2004, 15:21

i mean the 'drive forward, bump up against the little thingie, make some awesome salto's, and hyperspeedback to the pool' style, not the 'drive forward, make some salto's backward, and bounce back to the pool style'

ok?

Post by **SveinR** » 15 Apr 2004, 16:32

Yeah, that's the 15 sec style.

WkE · Post by **WkE** » 15 Apr 2004, 16:35

it isn't 18, unless you wait 2 seconds on the top of the pole...
and there are many trix to drive faster... for example, if you land on ground normal way, you'll jump up a little bit, and that wastes time. but if you do saltos and landing with one wheel and brake and then push to the side of the driving, you land without jumping and even get some extra speed....

ill make rec, wait a second.

teajay · Post by **teajay** » 15 Apr 2004, 20:43

Wke, that's the 12 secs style you are talking about, foo!

there was a little misunderstanding - the 2nd part of my post (line 2 til end) wasn't related to Steppes at all....

as long as you dont do the hardest trick you're not playing at all.

Juski · Post by **Juski** » 17 Apr 2004, 12:15

ribot so only the crazy ppl under 40 mins or something plays elma or what are you talking about?

Juski wrote:ribot so only the crazy ppl under 40 mins or something plays elma or what are you talking about?

ribot is talking in a very crypted manner, learn to live with it

Anyway, one way of seeing what he wrote could be:

- If you don't drive the hardest trick you can possibly do, you're not playing at all. Which means that you should try the hard tricks (for you) when you're playing, instead of playing safe.

chux · Post by **chux** » 18 Apr 2004, 22:36

yeah, thats kinda how I thought he meant it, like, elma is all about lowering your times, so if youre not trying to improve (doing better styles and tricks), youre not really playing elma, but more just cruising

Schumi · Post by **Schumi** » 19 Apr 2004, 07:29

I think the hardest trick is teh bounce on Serpents.
The easiest? Hmm... Warm Up?

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 20 Apr 2004, 19:29

apple harvest is crazy shit to do in one go
precarious trick
freefall
headbanger
zigzag rec is just plain stupid
obviously labpro

but i just suck full stop. can someone tell me how to do the Sink trick?

chux · Post by **chux** » 21 Apr 2004, 15:22

you mean the one at the end? Yeah, ez!
You might find it easier with low qualtiy video detail (no pictures)...When you get to that end bit, your back wheel up, and brake when your front wheel is in the corner of the thing, and rotate towards the flower. Let go of brake before its too late

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 21 Apr 2004, 19:42

hmmmm ok ty i will try that out

but really it doesn't bother me, what will it save, like 8 seconds or so. i need to improve on stuff like Labpro and Apple Harvest before i can worry about short levels

thanks though

Kadude · Post by **Kadude** » 22 Apr 2004, 10:34

when ur hÃ¶yling.. every goddamn milli-second counts !

Napoleon · Post by **Napoleon** » 22 Apr 2004, 19:07

hmm easiest trick might be circuitous ;O

and hardest for n00bs is labpro ofcoz

anpdad · Post by **anpdad** » 25 Apr 2004, 18:09

I hoyled labpro about 2 days, playing 2-4 hours each day, without making any training levs and finally i understood the trick and got 2:34:xx ez. The "small bounce" in the middle of teh run is much harder for me

.
Appel harvest is very ez, maybe teh ezest one i can remember.
I can't do that shortcut in Animal Farm. Zigzag is shit too.. Jaws, Enigma and Serpents tale's bounces are teh hardest ones. Oh, i forgot Bowling!

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 26 Apr 2004, 07:35

ye all those are hard. it just takes time to pass em all with wr styles, one by one

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 26 Apr 2004, 16:37

HARDEST?
Quick Round and Serpents Tale WR-Styles, of course!

Uncle Milty · Post by **Uncle Milty** » 26 Apr 2004, 17:12

Jee already done Freefall
24:64
what a sucky time

But Hey, made Bowling a few days ago, but got in this small spiral in the End, so not a Success

Lab pro first bounce is ez but other is difficult to do

Tag roll back to flower is very difficult i think...

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 26 Apr 2004, 17:56

[quote="Uncle Milty"]Lab pro first bounce is ez but other is difficult to do[quote]

For crying out loud, that is not a bounce in normal way, the only Bounce there is at the right to teh max...
EZ btw

Quick round aint that hard

But Serp and new Bowling WR style is very hard for me

John · Post by **John** » 26 Apr 2004, 23:07

ye I agree with u ante, those might be the hardest ones, Bowling prolly the hardest... :/

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 14 May 2004, 16:08

1) what the hell is FreeFall 24 sec style?!?!

2) Ramp Frenzy trick is tough... i can make the beginning like one time out of 100 but can't do WR bounce in the middle, can't even make old WR style when he drives down, bounces and comes up on one wheel

guess i gotta hÃ¶yl

my advice,
make a trainer level for the bounce to get the feel for it, then you can make it almost every time

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 16 May 2004, 13:08

ok will do

would you say it was easier or harder than ZZ trick (driving through bottom tunnel to reach high apple on right side)

Uncle Milty · Post by **Uncle Milty** » 16 May 2004, 16:03

[quote=sierra]1) what the hell is FreeFall 24 sec style?!?![/quote]
Its just da WR-style, but very very slow, with long staying on triangle in sky

WkE · Post by **WkE** » 16 May 2004, 17:57

sierra - the ZZ trick that should interest you now is the 01:40 style, which doesn't include taking the high apple from beneath.

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 17 May 2004, 13:23

is that the one with the pipe at the ending?

i'll try and find some recs

oh and by the way devan your advice was good i made Ramp Frenzy bounce after about 25 minutes of training

ZZ 1:40 style(s) are easier than Lap Pro bounce.

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 22 May 2004, 23:28

36. Fruit In The Den trick???????

i can't do the ending! i watched some rec0rs, made training lev...... too hard

any comments?

8-ball · Post by **8-ball** » 23 May 2004, 08:33

The trick is to jump towards the flower and letting go of the gas, that way the bike doesn't turn too much and usually when you rotate again, you'll touch the flower.

sierra · Post by **sierra** » 23 May 2004, 19:21

yea man whew made it

although it seemed kinda lucky

needa go do it again

Post by **Abula** » 26 Jan 2005, 22:37

I wrote "Give me 100 tries and I go through it 10-20 times." in my blog meaning Headbanger shortcut. So I tried (only 50 though because it got boring after a while).

Passed the pipe 9 times and finished the level 5 times: 48,27 - 53,73 - 47,59 - 49,12 - 50,32. I didn't feel relax and comfortable as normally. Come to challenge me in the FEM05 :]. If I only have my own computer you won't beat me :P.

Post by **Abula** » 26 Jan 2005, 22:59

I know better contest. I don't like money betting.

Let's draw who starts. Ok I start for example. I play as long as I made the pipe. When I made it through you drink 1/4 beer. Then it's your turn and I watch. And when you made it I drink that 1/4. Let's keep on this for some hours and one of us will be pretty funny guy - and the loser :-).

i don't understand this. so first abula makes it (bartek drinks one) and then they wait till bartek does it (abula drinks one). then abula makes it (bartek drinks one), next time bartek makes it and abu drinks one

so the drinkage goes even all the way, with god knows how long periods between drinking (depending on how bad teh opponents are)

maybe more like each does 10 tries, and if make 0 times it's 0 beer for other, if make 10 times it's 10 beer for the other, and switch

or something.

milagros · Post by **milagros** » 27 Jan 2005, 16:55

antz: both will drink same only one otf them won't be able to do teh pipe after a while and the other will laugh

The easiest/hardest trick?
