couldn't resist a quick sesh

1.33.76 - 36 pads - 33BRs - Assagai

Method I used
(possibly) The method Saturn used

[Dark_Phantom_89]

yeldar that's insane! I only managed 1.38.80

[SaturnReturn]

1.37.38 - 35 pads - some BRs - Fury Assegai

I used the old fashioned method for now because I suck at the other one. Might have another go tomorrow night.

I have photos too, so will post them if I end up in a good placing.

1.37.43 32 speedpads yeldas method but not perfect lol, fury assegai

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Close one between you and Saturn, brainbeat

[amplificated]

I fail at Phantom... and Vineta K

can't do any BR's with high enough consistency... plus my boost location fails sometimes and gets too much hang time (doing it at the end, I haven't been able to do that double BR yet).

atm my time is 1.37.91, but if I can pull off a few more BR's that could easily be broken

[KGB]

1.37.65 for me. Just can't get that double BR before the first tunnel so this is old school as well. It won't get much faster unless I change where I'm boosting. Yeldar is a bit quick here .

[yeldar2097]

I'll give it a go with the classic method and see what I come up with
Just for ref, is that boosting in the middle or at the end?

[SaturnReturn]

I did it at the end.

EDIT:

After 2 attempts with HD Assegai I got 1.36.85 using the pirahpac method that yeldar used in his video. I found HD Assegai much better for this as it seems easier to get the air at the end of the lap to do the 2 BRs. Again, I have no idea how many BRs I did as I missed half of them, but it was still a fair bit faster.

Using the method where you boost at the end, it is actually possible to get two BRs if you keep the ship low enough, hit the pad, and bounce+BR after it. So that would be 5 with an old school method. Or boost in the middle and do the two at the end without the boost and it's still 5 I think. Didn't someone (leungbok?) do a video ages ago showing a BR right at the start of the lap without a boost?

[yeldar2097]

Yes you can grab a BR at the start of the lap, actually there are two places but I'm not sure you can do both in one lap. I'll have a look for Leung's vid in a mo.
Having said that I reckon it'd be a much harder BR to perfect than the BoostBRBR at the start.

Edit: Some BRs on Vineta courtesy of LeungBRbok

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Hmm maybe I'll try using the HD Assegai and see what I get. Only a slight improvement on my Fury time - 1.38.18

[Mietepiet]

Well I couldn't get the consistancy to improve my 1.40.47

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I bettered my vk time too, didnt get around to posting 1.37 on the dot with lots of missed brs assegai hd . I hate that track

[yeldar2097]

Yeah the wing-cut thingy is dead hard and the wing-cut thingy with 2 BRs is impossible - I gave up on that a looooong time ago

[brainbeat]

lol so if im doing the same way theres 2 secs in better lines ha ive already scraped time of to get that lol, not in 2 speedpads anyway
