Welcome to the forums, Trackripper, and to Wipeout HD!

Let me say that it is no strange thing that you are finding it a harder time on HD than on Pure. They are as different as night and day. I remember migrating over to WOHD and one night thought I would play myself some Pure. I never crashed and banged into so many walls in my life.

Take your time getting adjusted. Do the campaigns and most importantly the trophy requirements, they will sculpt you into an Ace.

Again, Welcome!
