Battersea Challenge struggle

Hi Firefox, long time no see :)

I don't have time to speedrun whatsoever, but wanted to come let off some steam playing D3. The Battersea Challenge series doesn't have any runners, so I'm trying to post some good times on the board.

Unfortunately, some of the challenges require insanely precise manuvering and quite often don't get counted for whatever reason (In Area 1, "180 jump" and "At the ramps end" are notable examples). What do you reckon about a rule that "As long as the mission has been attempted with full intention of completing it and was done in visibly acceptable manner, the task counts as completed and the run is valid despite the statistics saying otherwise"?

Here is a quick vid of me repeatedly failing on the last mission in my route (That just so happens to be "At the ramps end"):

Sup Bunny, good to see you again.

I'm very against that imo, "visibly acceptable manner" is way too open to interpretation and has too much of a grey area for me to confidently moderate properly. Having the game just say "yes" or "no" makes it very clear, even if it feels like it's somewhat borked. Figuring out how to properly activate the triggers I feel is an integral part of the speedrun. :/
