on the last corner when you are in air using turbo theres like a crany structure, on the inside corner attached to the building , is it possible to get another br if you land on it,

22.50 - 11 speedpads - 2 br - Fury Ship
Don't think I'm taking the first corner very well and can't get the second br consistently either. Not a bad start though.
I'm also struggling this week - damn, looks like I picked an absolute nightmare of a combination this week!
I can get the 3rd BR around 20% of the time, but I've always messed up a previous part of the track, so it makes no difference.
So far, all I can manage is 23.95 with 3BR's. Could have been so much faster if I hadn't messed up the first corner!
EDIT: 23.84
yeah it's really hard this week. Also really frustrating because I can only do 2BRs... grrrr
My time for the week won't be getting improved as I'm in Holland till sunday night. GOGOGOGO!
22.76, 11sp, 2br, non-fury.
If I can throw in the 3rd barrel roll, I'll be good. might try fury ship later in the week.
where is this 3rd BR everyone is talking about? Is it the one after the banked right-hander or the one at the bottom of the slope?
I think the one at the bottom of the slope/drop (2nd possible BR on the track, right after the first one), at least for me. JaLK said it shaved half a second off his time. If I can make that and keep form i'm looking at a 21.xx time in frickin' Triakis :P right now I don't have the motivation though ;)
For me The 3 BR's are as follows on Modesto.
1: Slope Down, Easy BR.
2: Bank Hard right after 2nd Speed pad BR before Hairpin turn on Banked corner.
3: Turbo over Jump before 90 Degree turn to finish line.
Those are all the BR's I used to get the 4 Modesto TT Records.
If there is a fourth im yet to know about it (Except for Yeldars special barrel roll which causes more damage then good on TT).
That 2nd BR is impossible though, it's like the 3rd/4th (non turbo) BRs on TDR...
The one after the banked turn (after the tunnel) is WAAAY easier. Don't actually know if it's faster though.
The Second BR as in right after the slope? In Triakis it is difficult I will admit but it definately isnt impossible.
Maybe we are speaking of 2 seperate BR's?
I know your BR on the Long Right pre-Jump doesnt drastically improve time either. but It might give the edge needed to do speed lap.
Official leaderboards are lagging again, you'll have to redo the TT at Venom speed to get back your "King of Modesto" title ;)Quote:

Really I got topped again? I swore I beat that. Oh well ill gladly take another crack at it.
On a side note, I love Modesto since its the only course I can give advice on XD. That and MAAAAYBE TDR/rev/Fwd. I know I beat the Record for MP Mod Rev and VenK Fwd but it still isnt updated. its VERY frustrating. I want my damn records! >=(
Maybe you did, check your personal tab. If so, update Connavar's site etc
My Personal Tab isnt updating either thats the weird part. I got photos to prove it too. (the record from the race that is)
You can give advice on any track really. I'm not the master of any one track but I feel comfortable giving advice on all of them - it's just my execution that fails me :D
Yeah we are talking about the same BR - Can't do it above flash speed. TBH I suck at the first bit of the track, I always bounce like a lairy mofo at the end of the first slope. PITA
My 2nd BR (end of long right-hander) does sweet FA but I reckon if you doubled it up it might be quite useful...
P.S. Was your Vin K faster than 1.36.6x? :g
I think my Vin K record was 1.36.4x I might be mistaken but it was almost a full second above the previous record. I Fist pumped at how glorius it was only for it not to be updated. *cry*
Yeldar who are you kidding you got well over 60% of the records... stop being so modest(o)! :)
5 BRs per laps on my attempts ;) (at venom speed BRs rules). I don't know for shapealot but he's good for BR-ing too !Quote:

Hmmm. I only got 4 on Modesto Heights Venom Speed. Looks like I need to go BR hunting...
22.01 - 12 speed pads - Still only 2 BRs - Triakis+
Improved my time with slightly better lines after the long right banker and a cleaner landing off the speed pad after the first drop.
I managed to do some laps wth 3 BRs and maintain form but then I get all nervous and **** up my lines or something else ridiculous. :blarg
22.46, 2 br's, 12 sp's
can do better...
Damn, I'm over a second slower than everyone else! I really need to work on this!
Leaderboard Updated
Had 99 laps at this yesterday and couldn't get near my time, so that's it for this week, guess i was lucky to get it. Do you want a photo DP89 if it hasn't updated?
@leungbok i only do 3 BRs per lap, where are the other 2?
Boost/BR before the bump, BR using the bump, take the left pad, pitch up and last BR in the final right turn ;)
Don't know if it's faster, my lines weren't good, i race venom for the fun of making lot of BRs :D
Yes leung that's what I do in venom as well :g
Venom BRs = win :bat
me 2 its fun :) i used to do it that way but beat my time with just the 3 BRs, i might have another go at it
If we are talking about Venom BR Lovers i'm definately in! Great fun, even if they don't improve my time :)
I think its time to join this challenge.
I just realized this is going to be my very first time i use Triakis O_o
Nah it's ok KGB - I believe that your time is honest. However, if you want to post a photo then you can, it's totally up to you :)Quote:

Actually I wouldn't half mind having a TT challenge thrown in once a week (or fortnight etc...) as well. Would be healthy for the leaderboards too :)
:g
I'd be up for that.
Maybe make an optional TT challenge for the same week's course to make things easier? :P Would take 2 lists to update though. Just an idea though, I don't play TT much, maybe it'd help is all.
DP89, in the first post I think it would be good for reference sake to include the track/speed/ship in addition to the results for each week. I know we can find that info by digging through the topic but I think it would make your summary better :+
Rezatron - Noted, and done :)
EDIT: Managed a 23.51, 3BR's, 14SP's. I'm still messing up parts of the track!
Yeldar - I thought there was already a TT Challenge going?
@DP89: Not as far as I'm aware of....there's a gaping hole in the TT challenge market! oO :P
Hello guys,
I'm back again.
23.25 - 2br - 12 pad - fury
@DP89: guess you were right again, sorry!
Good to see you back and beating me again Mietepiet :)
As for the the Time Trial issue, perhaps it is something that could be implemented in the near future if people wanted it? Perhaps a poll on the idea...
The rivalry between myself and Mietepiet continues...
23.06, 2BR's, 12SP's
I would like to see TT included in this, but I think the gap between the top players would really show though.
Keeping it the same as the SL set that week is the best idea.
What about creating your own TT challenge ? :)
