The only thing I might see is when you're going up from the bottom right, your flips are a bit higher than they need to be, so you bounce a bit when you hit each level. You can see this in a couple of H2Hs. That'll only get you a quarter of a second though, maybe.

I've been called out

I'll take a look sometime. Right now I'm working on a interesting way to accelerate after the 3rd flag on King Kong. If successful the finish time would be somewhere in the 55.xx range.

Disclaimer: By 'working on' what I mean is 'looked at, theorized, never actually even come remotely close to success'

That area has a pretty weird shape, I'd be curious to see what you can do there.

Okay so here's the deal. It took me a long time to land this run that would make it look like the necessary changes didn't do much for me overall.

I was very careful to *not* get a medal on this, but the changes you need to make to take gold are here.

Look at various head to heads and good luck with gold.

Thanks to this run, I can now get to the bottom a half second faster than my ghost, which would mean low 30.xx. Perhaps a clean run up the climb would approach the gold time.

Thanks for spending some time on this level! Now get back to King Kong...

The different start is only one of the changes you need to make, although it is the most obvious. I don't want to step into what will soon be a contested gold, which is why I didn't submit a bronze time that I already got on this.

I already have 1 silver from steps that I've tried to fix but can't. I'd rather keep my *almost* all gold profile.

Just came back to say I finally passed Cirenco! Unbelievable that it took that long to pass someone who hasn't submitted in nearly 5 years. Also makes Mike's 109k absolutely insane in comparison to these meager sums...

Probably not gonna revisit this but I noticed that my old run in H2H with your two sort of combines your techniques and I managed to keep up with Brian until the very end. A less sloppy version of mine looks like it could be gold pretty easily.

So watching that I realized something awesome that you can do on this level that I hadn't connected with yet. I've made it happen once using resume, I expect with an ideal run I could push into 28.xx finish.

So fair warning I may retract my not getting a medal on purpose bit, because if I can do something really amazing I can't resist

Knowing that this level could go faster, I had to keep playing.

I told you it would be fairly easy to push this into 28.xx range. The trick that I'm trying to do gives you a much faster run across the bottom in theory, but I don't think its possible to perform the trick fast enough that the extra speed on the bottom makes up for the slowing down.

Nevertheless it would be insane to argue that you couldn't cut 3 more frames off without the trick to put it into 28.xx using this route.

I just submitted a 30.02 run, it is very slow down the left side, I very often end up a full bike length ahead of it by the time I'm climbing the right side. Will be an interesting H2H with this.

BikerBrian

I'm still working on it. Every now and then, I'll come off the bottom left wall in a way that gives me more speed across the bottom. I've landed several 29.xx runs so far. 28.xx is on the way. Thanks for your support.

I didn't realize I was going to take bronze by doing this. I need some brave soul to step up and take this from me or I'll have to take gold to retain an almost all gold profile.

On topic: When I play against this ghost I can very regularly be ahead of where the red bike is at about 16 seconds, so if I can get a solid ascent up the right hand side on one of those runs, the gold is within reach.

Great job! In watching the H2H of you and Shane, it shows the accuracy of your claim to shave off 3/4 of a second. Your finish is terrific, now you just need to improve the beginning. Good luck!
