Whoa shock, go and get World Champ already

Chris, tell me how to perform a VL1 5lap without crashing at the 2nd / 3rd turn consistently. Seriously, that track is a gift from Hell.

Edit: wrong thread

Found a new strat for the SG flap, though it's extremely hard to pull off. Yes, it does work though.

It's literally the same thing as the half-track jump, except you use it on the 2nd ramp in the flap and you can skip through that whole gap of air and land a little bit in front of where you normally would. I estimate it saves anywhere from "05-"15, depending on how well you land it.

the 2nd ramp??? So at the middle of the track?? I absolutely to see what you mean sorry...
Did you record it or something?

Sick WR!   What was the previous chrono?

One piece of friendly advice though, from one World Champ to a prospect Champ: stop obsessing over/on single courses* (I noticed you improved on BC1 quite a few times in the past half year) if you ever want to reach that #1 spot. Anyway keep the activity up!  

*Especially on a game with 80 charts to compete on!  

Karel, your post also makes sense for dummies like me who focus on a single race for days to reach a top 15 or even top 10 and still remain under the AF top 50 instead of improving quickly all races in a row and reach the top 40.

Well, I just have a lot of fun playing BC1, and that's my priority for playing this game. To have fun. I definitely plan on beating my other PRs progressively and move towards the title, but right now is not the time. I will probably make a move come summertime, but right now I'm just having some free time over a 4 day weekend break.

I actually got a time of 41"38 before I got 41"33 about an hour later. Both of the runs were pretty inconsistent. The 41"38 had a 13"93 lap 1, 13"78 lap 2, and 13"67 lap 3. This run has a mediocre lap 1 at 14"01, but lap 2 is a best known split at 13"62 and lap 3 was solid too at 13"70.

And... now I'm just waiting on YouTube to let me record with my webcam, because I just improved the lap to 12"12.

Why don't you record it with your own camera?
Or if you only have this webcam, you can just use it without youtube and then upload the vid.
It might just be a youtube issue...

Here they are:

BC1 lap: 12"12

BC1 3lap: 41"33

andy, the shroom spot for the flap isn't quicker if you do it on the S bend with the gravel instead of the last shroom?

Hehe, that's a very sensible reply of course.
I have my own agenda for wanting you to improve your overall level as fast as possible.
I want an acknowledged player to beat Fenner's timesset (preferably leaving him with 0 WR's) and it looks like if anyone will ever get close to doing that (by looking at karters currently active in this game), it'll be you*. I hope you can handle the pressure.  

*though if we are to see a complete knock down of all of T's WR's it will most likely be by a combination of Ethan, Christian and you (and who knows, maybe someone else like Pierre or a new star).

Well then you'd have to start playing a fuck of a lot more MKSC, that's for sure.  
No offense of course, you were doing well on the tracks you played!
