Rail Bouncing
« Thread started on: Jun 20th, 2003, 3:12pm »

Finding it quite difficult - especially at Fire Field, where you have to RB through the first double hairpin. Occasionally I keep my speed above 400, but that seems to be a fluke and generally it drops to 330ish. Was wondering if any of the top players could give me advice on where to bouce into the wall, and at what speed and angle to do it.

Thanks

Bounce as hard as you can.

To tell you the truth , on FF I have some problems there as well to consistenly get a good RB.

It is possible to clear that section with only one bounce which sends you in a nice arch around the inside of the hairpin and at 420 kph on the straight with the dirt patches. Stick to the left as you approach this section, then steer right into the corner at the very last moment and just before bounicing into the rail steer and hold left. Kinda hard to explain and also quite random.. sometimes it sends you flying all over the place.


This AND the multitude of trafic is always keeping me back from an easy 3-4 secs faster time..

Leo has an awesome time here.. Maybe he has found a better way to do it.

Thanks for the help David. I guess its refreshing though for us weaker players to think that even the site champ has trouble with this, sometimes I can do it really well but like you say it seems really random.

I also think I could take 3-4 secs off with good traffic and Rail Bouncing to put me in top 5, but I'm sure the same is true of everybody on FF so I can't really complain. Just have to keep practising it I guess!

Thanks
