Yeah I need a lot more practice with this one. :ponder: I may get some more games in after the camping trip this weekend.

Roadrunner... I couldn't even FIND the street to get hit by the truck! :P

I haven't really tried it yet, but I'm taking advice first.
I'm making a map. I'll probably finish it it later this evening.

Finished the course with 1:05 remaining.

I found a little "trick" that could be helpful, but learning how to use this trick will take some serious practice:

You can grab onto the back of the truck and ride as you speed down the road. You pick up some serious speed. Again, learning to control yourself on the board while going that fast is the real trick. I did manage to jump on one ramp and literally flew across a whole screen. Gnarly, dude!

Here's a pic of me hanging onto the back of the truck...it's tough to get lined up just right to connect, but once you're latched on, you're all set...just make sure you break away from the truck before it goes off the far right screen. :)

You can also hang onto the side of the truck.

All with 1:50 remaining.

Here's a tip: try cutting corners by skating on diagonals. You'll save time by cutting corners rather than skating just straight up, down, left and right.

I tried the truck but found it pointless because the tubes are impossible with a truck ride.
plus if the truck isn't there it's time consuming to wait for it. :ponder:

Add me to the 2:11 club! :) Gotta cut some more corners to see if I can shave a sec or 2 off that time. :)
