Don't worry, I'm not trying to break any records here. But I do want to improve my time, for self satisfaction.

I'm having a lot of trouble jumping off the next to last rail, onto the last rail (the one you achieve an "awesome" off of to reach a higher level on the platform)

I see in the record breaking runs that some players hold forward and seem to jump at just the right time. Well, I cycled through 200 lives and only achieved the right jump maybe 2 times. I tried to emulate what I did each time it worked, but it just seems to be random to me. Is there any particular trick to this? As far as timing, or what you need to hold as you jump off?

Again this, is the set of rails after the checkpoint by the church, and I'm having trouble jumping off these rails at the right time to acquire the speed to land on the last set of rails to pull off an "awesome" on the last set of rails. I'm playing on GCN

you can't jump off too early so try to delay the jump as long as you can

and just hold the direction you're going in

Alright guys, I really grinded hard on this. I spent 4 days refining my strat, and it finally paid off. I'm happy to even make the leader boards this early in. Hit a 0:41:64 and it could be so much better, Stay tuned. Got a little excited when I hit it, you'll see this in the video. I'm happy to be tied for 9th. See you soon
