    Does anybody have video's of other ways to beat Zico (like the one without a BR upon the last ledge)? And not to blame it on Piranha, but what a crappy ship. The times i wanted to do a BR but the ship didn't respond, sigh. If i could do this trophy with Goteki or Feisar, i would have it by now.

    I myself have never used the fury pirana - but I've heard (from those who are good with the original pirana) that the fury one is worse.

    Try giving the HD Pirana a go - that's how the challenge originally was set up - and if I can beat it with that ship - you definitely can.

    And clean lines - tight turns are 99.999% of it - the BRs alone won't do it - but I've come damn close to beating it WITHOUT the BRs - but good clean lines.

    Okay thanks, i will give it a shot with the HD Piranha. And beating it without BR, thats sick! But i've been wondering about the clean lines, like right after the start. Is it quiker to get all the speed pads or just take the inside of the corner?

    There is many more ways to beat Zico.... You can beat zico from first lap (JFthebestJan did it), without using bridge at all, with 3 BRs only.. etc.

    I see you use Icaras, did you use it just to make this video with all the posibilities, or may you actually use Icaras and still get the trophy if you beat Zico's time? Also i notice you use sideshift a lot, is this quicker then using the d-pad? And thanks, i really got stuck on the classical way to beat it but i've seen a lot of different options now

    p.s. what does BSB stand for?

    You MUST use Piranha to get Zico trophy.

    There is many possible Barrel Rolls, racing lines are so important and sideshifting is the key.

    P.S. BSB stands for Boost-select-boost (explained in Leungboks video)

    The barrell roll onto the bridge from the ramp (rather than taking the far left option) - is this doable in the HD Pirahna?

    I'm close to giving up - perfect lap last night - 30.95.

    I did a test yesterday and managed to get a 30.53 without doing the roll onto the bridge... only 3 BRs needed.
    proof that it's definately possible without the evil roll . I shall make a video...

    did aprox 600 to 700 laps before i finally beat zico. (5 rolls) just remember to fire the boost off early in the gap. since you don't want to have to much airtime.. if you keep that in mind the 3th roll is actually easy to pull off, i screwed up moslty at the bridge or doing something stupid because my adrenaline was kicking in at the end. Gl to all of you.

    Oh man this just made my weekend. Seeing this thread I decided to give Zico another go, not having done any serious attempts for the last 3-4 months.
    At lap 23 I beat my 31.04 ghost, looked down at the lap time and can almost not believe my eyes - 30.68. F-ing finally!!

    Finally! I hopped on for a quick go this morning - 3rd lap - 30.71

    4 barrel rolls - even the evil one onto the ramp.

    Transcendence!

I didn't know SS was that big of a deal, so thanks a lot for the video. Btw, i did use the HD Piranha and it did make a lot of difference for me personally
