Motorstorm Pacific Rift Riptide TA Bike 1:07.87 ..Tips needed!

Riptide TA Bike had been an obsession for me. For ages I was stuck at 1:08:00 (my only Top 100 TA time then besides ATV Riptide), and must have spent hours trying to get under 1:08, without success.. Inspired by Cetramide's Edge Big Rig call for tips, I decided to record my attempt at Riptide. I even managed 1:07:87 and I'm back in the Top 100. Still almost 2.5 secs behind Cirrus. What do I do wrong? Or is it general untidiness? Any help appreciated! I want to break the 1:07:00 barrier!! (Or what the heck: the Cirrus barrier! :-). At the end proof of my (temporary?) Top 100 time lol..

0:19 you can touch it a little but you're sliding a bit here at 0:20

0:24 don't hit that bump in the water. You have to be a little more to the right here.

1:02 don't maxboost coz you need that boost later at 1:12

1:08 sliding. I think you're a little to quick here and to late with the handbrake. Exit the shark as early as possible.

Thanks again Hendrik. Your TA time is my first projected victim...lol. With your and Cirrus's tips I must be able to improve my time. Then I can stay ahead of your Monster Truck!

1:02 = Again, you did not need to Max Out here, you could have started saving, then you would have had much more boost after the shark. Your line was good though!

1:12 = If you save enough boost, you can make it to here without maxing your boost.

1:15 = Try not to slow down and turn too hard ... you have a lot of free room on your left side ... you have to be dangerous and risky ... keep more speed and use that extra space ... but be careful, there are hidden rocks over there.

Good video !

Hi Cirrus, thank you so very much for the input.. It's all those small points together which can shave off seconds. Going to start training again. When I publish my 1:04:99 video, please don't hesitate to request tips from me lol...:-)

3) Shortcut

0:51 You entered the shortcut to much on the left and steered to early left at the top. As a result you hit that big bump at 0:53 followed by a long slow jump. Enter the shortcut as much on the right as possible, be slow at the top, use handbrake and exit the shortcut at the lower line of that big bump.

Wow, thx for those tips. Always hand braked at 0:34. Will try to stay more to the right at the shortcut. Easy to hit the fence though.

My ghost is so old and not very quick. Must be a year ago and one of my first TA efforts. Good enough for Top10 back then... now #47 lol. I'm sure i can get into the 1:06 now.

0:38 = You are in the middle, try to be further right.

0:41 = You are on the right, try to be in the middle. =P

0:44 = Your boosting was perfect, just keep your eyes on your back wheel here, then you can see when you are in the air. You could have saved much more boost without that small delay! =(

0:51 = I drive until here without slowing at all! At 0:51 I brake very hard and turn left very hard ... then begin accelerating immediately and you could even land on the floor without a bounce!

[hburg32]

Not braking or handbraking with full throttle at 0:34 only works if you're coming from the outer line always steering left to pull pull pull... then boost as early as possible.

[Cirrus5005]

0:16 = You can stop boosting now ... you don't need to be boosting "into" a sharp corner.

0:19 = You start boosting correctly, "collecting" boost is not so important, but staying on the water's edge is important for 60% of the corner, then you start boosting and go wide.

0:23 = Try to avoid this water or only get a "very small" part of it.

0:34 = Your first half of the corner is a little too wide, try to follow the edge of the brown colour all the way round. Your boosting was good.

Thx, didn't think about that! Hey, maybe the next MS game might be a combination: Motorstorm Warfare. Imagine all of us racing with our machine gun on our backs. At the end of the race our objective is to kill all the players...lol. Tank races?
