Secondly, You didn't thank us the first time. Look around please. This happens again and i think someone will be angry... besides me. EDIT: Ofcourse they work. Take the line right and you'll be fine.

Just let your front tire slip into the gutter and use it as a slingshot to go out the other side. (Gutter Technique 2) |

Group: Advanced Members Posts: 13,123 Member No.: 1,355 Joined: Feb 28th 2004 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | I find that anything below like 120 theres really no point since you can pretty much take the turn up to that speed anyways, and even if your not scraping the wall you lose speed (minimal but some) while entering and exiting the gutter. |

Well even if you are going slow, the line closest to the inside is best right? Theres a ponit in using it. | ||

I Fabrikat w3rDs!!! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,174 Member No.: 1,237 Joined: Feb 4th 2004 Location: Somewhere Inside | The only thing that I see wrong with the gutters is that sometimes they will pull you to the wall... causing HUGE slowdown... so be careful. |

We're the People's Front of Judea! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 13,123 Member No.: 1,355 Joined: Feb 28th 2004 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | I never see anyone gaining speed while in the gutter... they always lose it, even the caps whee i was at whod run in the 2:40s |

IDW Expert Member Group: Members Posts: 108 Member No.: 1,319 Joined: Feb 22nd 2004 Location: moreno valley | the only time gutters can actually save time and speed is when u r making a really tight turn if u just doin a casual turn and u enter tha gutter yes u will be thrown into tha wall and get huuuuuuuuuuge time penalty having enough speed also helps alot couse if ur not goin fast enough u get thrown into tha wall and bout tha whole closes to tha inside thing its that but combined with fastest exit speed couse if u slow down tooo much so u can stay inside then they just catch up ne wayz |

you dont gain speed from the gutter. the gutter allows you to take the turn at a higher speed because you have more grip. | ||

IDW Banned Member Group: Banned Posts: 1,593 Member No.: 891 Joined: Oct 9th 2003 Location: Update Profile | And i was right, if taken PROPERLY, you should always gain speed during gutter runs, it happens all the time among the good players at my arcade. |

IDW Banned Member Group: Banned Posts: 1,593 Member No.: 891 Joined: Oct 9th 2003 Location: Update Profile | I havent seen the vid, therefore, can't tell you whether or not he is good. He may be awesome, just can't take the gutters right. I dunno, all i can tell you is what i've seen. SOME people at my arcade take the gutters, while getting faster. |
