Bouncing off walls to br is a pain the bum.

I never bounce off the walls to BR, there is enough other BR's to find :)
Didn't posted any time yet, busy with some "secret phantom project" :brickwall
You've broke Youtube ffs! :)
Now it makes perfect sense.
Didnt realise you could use your boost actually on the start line if you slow down!
Well actually you don't need to slow down. I've found that (pretty similar to Leungbok's Nose-down-up-boostBR) if you pitch up first then back down just as you boost you won't go quite so high when you boost across the line which means you won't twat the roof as often :P
Quick FFXIII Break! 25.24, big improvement... :|:lol
@leungbok
I finally decided to face my biggest enemy, it's called Vineta K forward. Long way to go but i'm starting to understand it.
On topic:
I hate Triakis, a now i hate flash too, and Ubermall rev a lil' bit.;)
Triakis fury : 24.87-3BR-12 SP
That's me out of the top ten then :)
works getting me down, being given too many hrs, just don't have as much spare time as i used to.
I managed a decentish time,
25.44 11 speedpads fury 3 brs
Quite a tricky one this week - congratulations to yeldar (:robot) for his victory this week and a big thumbs up to all who participated. Your names will all be added to the Hall of Fame thread.
The criteria for this week are as follows: SPEED LAP/TECH DE RA (FORWARD)/RAPIER/ASSEGAI
Good luck to all :+
24.03 - 4BRs 9sp fury
23.44 - 9 Pads - 4BRs - Assagai+
24.13 - 8pads - 3BR - F.
This 4th BR is the little bump at the bottom of the hill right? Didn't manage it once in 50 laps :paperbag.
Yep, hardest BR ever. Slightly easier at Rapier than it is at Phantom (done is once in Rapier, never in Phantom :lol).
I only got it by fluke :)
But yeah:
1. 1st Corner
2. Top of hill after long left-hander
3. Little KGBump :g
4. BoostBR in the open section
This'll be interesting. Ive used Assagai about twice :beer
24.12 5brs 8 speedpads fury
theres a way to get 6 brs or 7 but not landed right myself. If you land the 4th br on the left lip just after the single speedpad then land on other left lip then ss right and get the lip on rhs.
24.41 from me. Damn you guys are insanely good - Top 10 global times :eek
24.08 4brs assagai+
man i hate being so far behind :( hate the boost at the beginning, and all the silly brs.
I really am just a big sore loser :)
I'm the same way. I got one half way decent BR at the start today out of 40 laps.
24.27, 3br's, hd
This track is so annoying! I'm finding the start and the end are so hard to pull off well.
And then there's the 3 extra BR's that are only just possible...
Mm well the two BRs after the BoostBR in the open section (these are 2 of the one's
your talking about aren't they? ) aren't too hard but I'm not convinced that they're any
faster, especially the first one. I tried those BRs a few times but if you do a good
boostBR you end up having to shear off all the speed that you gain from the boostBR
by having to veer left in order to get said BR. Never really tried the other one but since
it's rapier I reckon it might not be that advantageous cos you have to compromise
your line massively (and you have the whole bouncing into the air thing.)
Might be way off base here but oh well :P
Yeah, those are the two. I, for some reason, can't stand it when my ghost is in front of me. And like you said, those two br's are hard to get something out of. When I try to do them and see my ghost flying off, it discourages me from attempting them immensely :P
And nearly every lap, I screw up the start... and get to watch my ghost for a while. Worst track for me!
I think you'd need to do both BR's for them to be of benefit. I think the line you get from doing the first makes the second advantageous in that situation, but on their own they're probably as you described; not worth the effort.
As it is, if done well, either can be just as good as a decent boost br though. 2 very hard to do "well" BR's, and one next-to-impossible one, is perhaps what I meant.
Venom they're probably worth going for though
Here's a link to my 23.44 ghost if anyone is interested :)
23.96 10 speedpads 4 brs.
Ill try that ghost yelda thanks,
24.32 3brs 9SP ( 24.61 2brs :blarg)
23.89 - 4BR - 10SP - Fury
I reckon that's close to my limit.
It's my first SL Ch, I usualy don't fly on rapier, and maybe my time is not amazing, but... Wy the hell not ;)
24.64 3 BR's 9SP Assegai F
:clap Triboy is comming! :clap
I know Rapier isn't your fav speed class but it's only a little bit faster than flash ;)
Keep laughing Phi, but guess who from polish pilots got the best time on Tech de ra fwd? ;)
24.42 3 Br's 10 SP Assegai F
Good to see a new competitor :beer
if the library internet would let me dl that video i could see where im going wrong and improve my time :(
Eh, what video?
This week has come to a close - absolutely amazing times this week from everyone - very high up on the Global Leaderboards. Congratulations to yeldar for his victory this week :beer
All times will be added to the Hall of Fame thread located here
As some of you may know, a certain SL master by the name of yeldar is travelling to pastures new and won't be around for a while. So, I thought - why not let him to choose the criteria for this week?
His choice was: SPEED LAP/THE AMPHISEUM (FORWARD)/PHANTOM/GOTEKI 45
Good luck everyone - we'll try and make you proud during your absence yeldar :)
25.98 8SP 2 BR's
Missed last BR :( I will try to improve, noting else to do with my PS3 while it's offline :-
Ok, gonna give this one a shot. Not thinking i'll get anything great tbh but should be fun.
I never practice offline :) I'm toast :D
had a quickish shot using the fury ship, got 26.13 with 2 br's and some sloppy lines through a couple of corners, so I'll have another shot later
