Aw mate! - I can't believe I had the lead for so long - you schooled me on the smoothness from the middle section at the top onwards.... just amazing how much faster it always seems to keep the weels on the ground... big floaty jumps are just a huge slow-down.

See I look at this a little differently. It's true you had the 'lead' through half the level. But there is really only 1 part in the entire level that you played markedly faster than I did. Notice how you got a strong jump on me on the top row in the first 5 seconds. You were basically 1 full bike length ahead by flag #1. From that point, I equalled your played and stayed right on the end of your back tire the entire run and even caught up to you at the final red flag. That is where I pulled away. So if I had stayed with you at the very beginning, I would have pulled even farther away from you at the end (by one additional bike length of course). The thing I am perplexed about is why I kept playing after my slow start. I have had way faster starts than that. So 57.xx is definitely possible and since I spent a stupid amount of time designing this level, I ought to give it the respect it deserves and nail a solid run. I would like to see someone take the gold from me momentarily though while they still have a chance. My 59.xx time is still within reach, but if I land a solid 57.xx, it will be nearly unbeatable.

Just food for thought Lee / Mike
