Track Secrets

[blackwiggle]

I'm know Piraphic has a heap saved as video uploaded to YouTube, but have only been viewable by invite only, I haven't seen him playing HD/FURY in a very long time.
The thing is, he & Leungbok were the two most actively involved in finding a lot of the obscure BR points.[I could spot possible places as well as them, and I'd mention them to them, sure enough they could pull them off, but rarely if ever actually perform them myself]

I was in conversation with all the elite pilots at one stage for the purpose of making a "Wipeout HD/FURY Master BR/Shortcut video"....to cut a long story short it just became too big.
Mainly because people wanted credit [rightly so in my opinion] for finding the more obscure BR positions, and for that to be made evident in the final video.
Problem was/is, how to you give credit when there is no proof, and then have the problem of somebody challenging the info in the video[s]

Well, going by the HD/FURY VIDEO thread and the various comps that have been run over the last 3 years, there has been posted both at the Wipeoutzone & Wipeout Arena there were around 20-25 different people that found the most well known BR positions & short cuts.

Suggest you CAREFULLY watch ALL the videos in the Video thread, you will see, in many cases the first time ever on video, a lot of BR positions and the date they were first found.
I know of two that are not well known [I've seldom seen anybody actually do them online] that are in that thread in the first 30 pages.
One is by Xtriko on Chenghou reverse. on the bend just after the first mag strip, {useful if you haven't picked up a turbo beforehand and taken the shortcut boost]
Second - Check for all the videos by XBARSTERX, I can't remember which track it's from [FURY tracks most likely] but I have never seen anybody do it at this position before or since.
