Mario Kart MB - Rainbow road

Not 100% sure what you mean here.

For me, I found that by steering hard to the left reduces my time in the air.

I think Mark is talking about the one before the 2 large circular holes in the track, but Cam is talking about the jump with the blue tips that goes to the left. I believe Cam is correct, though. Is it this one?

Indeed I am. I thought that was the only jump that comes before a fork in the road. But if the 2 large circular holes in the track can be considered a fork, then Mark's post makes more sense. I guess you take your pick for whichever jump you're talking about.
