The few days after you first learn to slide...
« Thread started on: Aug 22nd, 2003, 2:19pm »

...it's fun isn't it?

Just shaved 7 seconds off my Sand Ocean 2 time, and it's become my best track on the league table.

The tracks which have really benefited so far are:

Big Hand
Port Town 2
Port Town 1
Sand Ocean 2
Rainbow Road
Devil's Forest 3 (10 seconds!!)
Devil's Forest 1

+ minor improvments on BB2, RC2, RC and S2.

Are there any other tracks which a definitely sliders?

Fire Field is a big slider to me. You slide the left rail at the beginning. Then you slide through the big curve, and only stop to hit the boost, then start sliding again. After that, just go over the jump, then boostslide where you slid the first lap. The only difference is if you get enough speed you fly off of the track on the dip to jump over lava, and have to land back on the little narrow strip. It's one of the funnest tracks for me to play, so have fun!

My slide times for Fire Field are very similar to my Jumper times. I just find the sweeping right-hander after the jump too shallow to slide at low speeds. I'm not very good at sliding straight-ish corners. The only place I really hook-up the slide is the final corner. As for going too fast down the ramp, and taking off, that's how I get my best speeds and times! I really don't like the track though..

Has anyone got a decent strat for Devil's Forest 2? I'm assuming it's a jumper, because the difference between the best and worst times on this track is reletively small. It's the only track where the staff ghost totally destroys me..

Jumper Twin Noritta, hold down at the final bump to get your speed up to 1100-1200 km/h PAL (around 1300-1400 NTSC), then get through all the corners without jumping. That was the deciding factor for me.
