Week 38 has come to an end. Congratulations OBH, our champion for this week, and a big thanks for all who competed. Your names will all be added to the Hall of Fame Thread.
This week's criteria are as follows: SPEED LAP/ MODESTO HEIGHTS (FORWARD)/FLASH/AG-SYSTEMS
Good luck everybody.
Speed Lap > Modesto Heights Forward > Flash > AG-Systems HD
00.28.52, 9 Speed Pads, 3 Barrel Rolls
I'm having problems with the boost barrel roll before the bridge section. Any advice? I'm trying not to use Mr Emery's excellent videos for 'How To' on this one.
use the boost in the tunnel, it's faster - there's a bump just after the U-turn.
I was about to ask when DP was going to choose his birthday SL challenge until I realised that he chooses most of them.
:brickwall
I got a 25.29 - 4BR - 12 pads?? - Fury
Not sure if a boost/BR at the start is quicker but I did it on my fastest lap so far. I know of 7 BRs on here but haven't been able to do them all in one lap.
I can only think of 6, what are the ones you're thinking of? I never use a boost-BR at the start of this track, but there's 1; then the top of the hill; bottom of the hill; tunnel; 1 off the jump and then using the speed to get another off the bump in the track ahead.
I'm yet to get around to this week's challenge, but I've been playing a bit of wipeout for a change recently (uploading times to the global site, says I'm now the #1 WOHD player overall in Australia, woo :P - this is despite my patheticness at Zone, Detonator, and Phantom :lol) so I'll get a time in later.
Yep, basically all them but if you don't hit the speed pad on the left after the first corner you can get 2 going down there instead. I don't think it's quicker but it's there.
On my fastest lap it was Boost/BR at the start, 1 off the top of the hill, 1 at the bottom of the same hill and 1 at the end, off the jump with my boost.
Is doing a boost/Br in the tunnel and then 2 at the end faster??
I think so; it's been a while since I did this track on Flash (and most of my SL's on Flash have been rush jobs anyway) - but Flash is very close to Venom, and I definitely found boosting in the tunnel to be faster in that class.
I haven't found any bonuses to boosting in the tunnel. It's too risky and you end up hitting the chicane just ahead. I'm still working on the one out the bowl, but I keep hitting the lamp posts.
Speed Lap > Modesto Heights Forward > Flash > AG-Systems Fury
00.27.68, 12 Speed Pads, 5 Barrel Rolls
25.06 4br 10sp fury
25.51 | Fury - 11 SP´s - 2 BR´s
24.88, 5 br's, 11 sp's, Fury AG-S
Couldn't get the BR at the bottom of the hill off for about 80 out of 90 laps :(
Nice time amp :rock. I found the BR at the bottom a lot easier than last time we did this track.
Wow, yes, nice time with AG-S amplificated :clap
24.67 - 12 Pads - 3BRs - Fury
Yeldar's back and hasn't lost his skill it seems...
Hmm. Still would like to get that pesky BR after the banked right-hander though...can't get it into a decent lap :brickwall
Now to Time Trial ^_^
thanks :P
as soon as I get it though, Yeldar comes back... damnit :lol, with only 3 BR's and allegations of a mystery BR to top it off!
I did:
The BR into the tunnel
The stupid bouncy BR into the stupid left-hander
BoostBR at the end.
My current Icaras PB (also .67) also has this BR included: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0QfFBMbodQ (18 seconds in).
I have no idea where you people are finding these other BRs :dizzy
Ah it's good to be back :g
As if you can do that in flash! o_0 My BR's are the latter 5 that I mentioned above.
Good to have you back, to show us all up in the SL challenge again, :lol
Works everywhere cept venom :nod
So there are BRs to be had inside the tunnel as well then? Crazy
damn ! :eekQuote:

I'll give it a try in Fury later... I'll have plenty of time to improve as my damn pc seems to be broke again, damnit.
Back already Yeldar, you should of tried to stay on your holidays longer.....much longer :P! Just in time to cheer on England. Great time indeed.
Haha, don't worry I'm just back for the footie, hopefully off again in August :P
I managed 25.17, 12SP's, 3BR's. I can see how I can improve this to get to amplificated's time (I scraped a wall during this run) but not yeldar's :robot
Is the boost BR at the start possible? I can't do it on this track for the life of me...
Yeah you can, I can pull it off pretty often, but I think it's probably better to not do it and keep the corner very tight instead. waisting so many laps trying to Boost/BR and get it really tight narks me to say the least. So do what i do and just give up :)
I find the boostBR easier than taking a tight first corner actually but I'm still not back into the whole left-right-left yet. fingers not used to it.
...and i'm lazy :lol
Narrowly :) 24.76 - 12 BP - 3 BRs - Fury
24.59 - 12 pads - 3BRs - Fury
:brickwall Gahhhh, my icaras time ! :coldQuote:

I also played online last night and it was going ok until z1r0rEi joined and i started loosing to him :(. good games tho
I'm going to close this week's challenge a little earlier today only because I'm heading off out later and won't be around.
Yeldar's back, can you tell? ;) Congratulations to our winner this week, and a warm welcome to our newest competitor this week, ShawnFrecle.
Everybody's names will be added to the Hall of Fame thread (link can be found on the first page.)
This week's criteria is as follows: SPEED LAP/UBERMALL (FORWARD)/VENOM/FEISAR
Good luck everyone.
Kay then, done two laps for a banker. Will probably do better later in the week, but I'm gonna be moving soon, and won't have access to a PS3 for a while.
Speed Lap > Ubermall Forward > Venom > FEISAR Fury
00.32.62, 8 Speed Pads, 1.5 Barrel Rolls
Lol, 1.5 BRs, classic! :+
:g
I have a 27.61 - 9 pads - 5BR - Fury
About 1.5 seconds behind the fastest. I'm using the boost at the end of the lap on the final hill. Is that the best place?
surely it would be best to boost at the top of hill after the split?
26.61 - 9 Pads - 6BRs - Fury
Just to make sure, we are doing this without BSB aren't we? Good :+
Just for ref I used my boost just before the split :)
@ Mr Phlanj. I don't think boosting at the top of the hill is faster at this speed.
@ Yeldar. I take it you are boost/Br over start line, Br over short cut, boost/BR before split then 2Brs down the hill then 1 at the bottom.
Actually I did 6 BRs now I think about it :redface:
