I'll be rank 24 I think when my run gets verified. I got a run of 21:52 today.
Very nice. Even if that's true though, that won't count as a world record unless it was recorded.
You have to time the jump. Most people rebind jump to scroll wheel. I don't do that though because that's weird to me, hard to adapt. I've just gotten use to trying to time my jump right before my feet will hit the ground.
23 seconds isn't bad. I was getting 23 seconds for a while. I actually did a run earlier where I made it to the first lift at 20 seconds. I think if you link the bhops together without missing you keep more of your speed.
I've made it to the lift at 20 seconds with strafes and bhops. It's all about timing for those though. You wanna make sure your jump happens before you hit the ground. You can tell when it works because your feet wont hit the ground but you'll jump again.
You need to add strafes into the flaps to get farther. Strafes before it will make it faster. At least that is my current understanding of how it works. Hope this helps.
