I remember you on connavar's website saying that you'll crush all the tt/sl records (something like "i'm coming"). I answered you something like "good luck, then", lol.
You totally fit with the good spirit that used to be on this thread reza :lol
You have misinterpreted my words (I assume English is not your first language). I looked again, and wrote on Connavar's site months ago "i'm coming up!" after a big jump in points within a short period, that's all. I never said I will crush records (?), I don't have the time nor ability :P You are reading things that aren't there and making assumptions. Move along...
Now to lighten the mood:

:lol
28.07 from me, 3BR's, 8SP's.
Where are people getting this elusive 4th BR from?
oops, sorry i made the asumption that you would count on the rankings after saying "i'm coming up" :redface:Quote:

@Dark_phantom, sideshifts, pitch control helps ! ;)
Yeah I opened that photo up with a three year old sat next to me, nice one!:P
1 br at the first SP, 2 br on the curve before the magnetic field, 1 br at the shortcut and the last br on the final part of the track :)Quote:

Final time is 27.61 - 9sp - 3BR - HD ship
my best this week 27.34 7 brs fury, did 99 laps to get 0.02 better
i actually find it easier to do 3brs at beggining than boost on line i either slow down too much to take corner or dont turn and hit wall, lol
my final is: 27.46 - 6pads - 5br
Brilliant times this week everyone, keep up the good work - the sheer skill of each competitor really shows :)
The criteria for this week are as follows: SPEED LAP/TECH DE RA (FORWARD)/FLASH/ASSEGAI
Good luck everyone :)
27.86 11 speedpads 4 brs
Are the lips advantageous on this track?
theres a double br on the long lefthander before straight, but im not sure if better because i think you miss speedpad, just take tight and right ss early, its one of them sebenco 1s. i didnt do it on my best time,
27.04 - 8 Pads - 4BRs
ah ah yeldar, 8 speed pads, & still 27:04??? :mr-t you're amazing mate. I've tried for the first time flash speed class tonight, so here's my time; 27:61, fury assegai (what? had to let my Icaras at the garage grrr), 11 speed pads (4 BRs). Big thanks Dark_phantom for this great competition, even if I'm finding flash reeeallly slow, was great fun to try it.
But,
The main reason of my quick participation in your challenge (I'll probably won't try to lower that time, sorry mate I've to go back in phantom class to prepare feb. event, + the fact my hyperhidrosis is back, destroying my hands little by little) is that crap :
Who the f**k are you to talk like that to one of the best pilot in the world? Let me say you I've already reported your s**t to the mods, using the little sign near the post number. I suggest you to post that kind of stuff somewhere else, cos' personnal attacks are not tolerated here. And about your pics; internet arguments? scavenger is really not a good adjective to describe Leungbok. So I suggest you to apologise quickly and try to be polite next time you're posting here. I remember I pm'ed you in december, offering you to host with us the tournament, you didn't even bother to reply me. Now I see what kind of guy you are. :+ great stuff, team nawty can be proud of you.Quote:

Having said that, Rezatron, if you (or anyone else) has issues with other pilots then please take them up in PMs rather than disrupting threads. Same goes for anyone else who wants to pick up on anything personal aimed at them - please do it in PMs, while still without insults.
P.S. If anyone does feel personally offended, victimised or attacked in any way that is unresolvable in friendly PMs, then the best thing to do would just be to report the offensive post or message. It's much easier to handle things if the proper methods are used.
Thanks
lololol drama
aside from that, how the hell are you guys getting these times?! o_O I haven't gotten below 29.56 yet... Flash is so slow and twitchy, I can't do it right... Ive also been busy without an opportunity to play, plus my left hand is messed up, so that might be part of it -_-
28.72 - 8sp - 4br - fury
I think my hand is messed up BECAUSE of Wipeout... i just noticed the way I do barrel rolls is really harsh on my wrist/palm somehow, and it even hurts all the way up my arm... I need to go to a doctor to get this looked at soon.
I get that when I have to play a game that uses the L2R2 triggers,that's why I changed the air brakes to L1R1.
Have yet to give this weeks SL & TT a go,I'll edit when I get a decent time.
Which might be a while looking at this weeks track & craft.
Usually when you use the lips to perform BRs, you slow down when you climb the lip, it can sometimes be compensated by the extra boost given by the BR, but i'm sure that your line has to be as close as the best one to make it advantageous (and it works only on venom/flash, i think not in rapier and i'm sure not in phantom). As an example on tech de ra reverse it can be advantageous because when you climb the lips of the left side you also cut the turn so your line is very good. To make it advantageous on tdr fwd, you have to use the lips on the inside of the turn. If you have the choice, the BRs on the track are faster than the lip's BRs IMO ;)Quote:

I'm doing them over the first corner, off the first hill, off the second hump and then boost and BR down the hill. Trouble is I'm finding the one off the second hump really hard to do. Is this where everyone else is doing them and if so how do I the hump one all the time.
27.85 - 4 BR - 9 pads - FURY
I haven't beaten my PB yet so I'll have another crack at it this evening.
I'm doing the same BR's as you KGB. I can do 6 BR's, but I think that 2 of them actually slow me down.
Same BRs as me :nodQuote:

I currently have 27.59, 4 br's, 9 sp's
I have the same br's as kgb in that attempt, but I tried to go for the lip br and failed :(
Right after the lip br on the left, you can use the speed to help you just clip another lip on the right for another br, which would also help a bit.
The damn br's though are almost as bad as Amphiseum's! I could only get the one at the bottom of the tunnel a few times, and I also kept stuffing up the one at the start.
Eric, are you drawing with that hand?
no, thankfully lol but I use it just as much as my right anyway for other stuff, so it still sucks :/
I frequently mess up the one at the start too and have only succeeded at the "right lip" BR rarely.Quote:

Proving very difficult this week. I managed to get to within .07 of my time with 3 BRs. If I could do this one at the bottom of the hill with a lot more regularity then I'm sure I could get at least .3 off my time.
I never really raced the fury tracks before, but now I'm gonna like them more and more. These corners are so hard to learn and you can win/lose a lot.
so far: 27.87 - 9pads - 4br
@kgb: try it on venom, that worked big time for me
28.56 for me 11 pads, 3 brs.
:eek Look at the time difference between KGB, brainbeat and Mietepiet - very close this week.
28.66, 4BR's, Fury Assegai
new time 27.49 9 speedpads 4 brs
After about 100 laps since I got my personal best I finally managed to beat my time by....... wait for it.... wait for it...... 00.01! New time is now 27.84. Brilliant :paperbag.
lol I was like that myself, but figured out i was losing time on my boostbr, i managed to shave .30 just here. ss on speedpad and dont boost straight away like i was but a bit later and keep it tight to the right, aim at metal girder thats on lip.
By the time you get there you slot neatly on track.
Lol, it's an improvement nonetheless ;)Quote:

But I'll check brainbeat's boost method tomorrow :P
I've been boosting as soon as i hit the right hand side sp and doing what you do brainbeat - keeping it tight to the right. It's still the BR at the bottom of the hill that is messing up any chance of a good lap time. Every time I am ahead of my ghost by a decent margin I fail, when I'm behind it, I do it! obviously :brickwall.
i think the best advice is to not let go off pitch untill you have landed br, i find i hold down on dpad, while doing a br, Im pretty decent at sf2 lol
I tested brainbeat's method@ boostpoint, equalled 27.80 with it, but I think landing on the sp is faster, also gives u a natural angle into the left-hander.
For that br over the little bumb. I get my angle right while in air (sp 2 left sp) and only start pitching up on the 1st sp.
