Ski times - Post 'em here.

Seasons greeting to you all. The piste is open and the snow is crisp. With the advent of the Advanced slope we have a whole new slew of times.

When posting please specify which run you ran (Expert or Advanced) and any buffs you may have received (including travel powers), if any. If you can't remember, not to worry.

Here's mine:

Expert slope: 17:75 with SJ and no other buffs.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to reclaim the title I held last year 'Fastest Brute on the Piste*'.

Did the advanced one in 1:09 without any buffs or powers other than an unslotted sprint.

43.13 on the advanced track - It was unbeatable for a good few hours, but now its not even in the top 5! Jeez!


 

Posted

only ran each 3 times so far just to get the six badges, not bothered for a great time yet

After spending a good few hours SBin and TPin people by the slopes, i might try and get the badges tomoz
Tried it twice and first attempt was something like 1 min 52 seconds . . . on the old slope!!!
The new slope . . . . . well lets say the timer reset.

Was good fun having races down them backwards though!

the word "AAAARGH" springs to mind. Barely scraped a bronze on the advanced course (with Sprint only).

However, I do now have Toothbreaker and a generous supply of canes


Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

That is me with my troller M0. 42.00 seconds dead. The fastest I have seen is 41.50 on defiant and that was yesterday.

Found a different use for dual builds here.

46.83 - 6 slotted superspeed and superjump. At the runspeed cap anyway so the random speedboosts didn't throw me off. (I think thats the current record for anyone doing the run with whirlwind running too )

My best was 44.61. Was annoying missing a place on leader board as there were alot of 44.50's up at that point but the bar has probly been rasied again now!

With Kin buffs these times are easy to get! Long live the Kins .. long live IR! Hazaa

IR or CJ are what make this easy.

I hate all things ski related and the ski courses. I hold a special hard, cold ball of congealed hate for whomever decided badges should be associated with "twitch reaction games" and is now responsible for another shock of white hair on my head.

That is all.

My best time so far on either event with any toon has been rubbish :S

My (potentially) 2nd best ever run was tainted by the fact that I had missed a gate on the last run and meant I was technically still on the previous run, which made my overjoyed smiley face turn into a scowl when on crossing the finish line faster than a greased weasel with Teflon shoe-soles it said "Congratulations!: 2:34:06"

*Doh >.<


 

Posted

My best ever run was like Mothers' total time 1:20:04 and I went round virtually twice as I fell off at the Winter Lord and had to jump back to top (only CJ at that point :'(). If only I had made it I'm sure I'd have been on the leader board briefly.

Best time to the TP thing so far is 21s... (taken at the top).

As said on the slopes last night, I'm far from the fastest down the slopes but I finally managed the Gold medal 'Speeder' badgeypoos and this is what helped me:

#Speed Boost

#Inertial Reduction

#Steering with the mouse (after IR) more than the direction keys, (only use if you are definately going to hit a side of the course that will slow you down)

#On the broken barrier part of the course with the fall/jump option... coming off the speed a little ensures you miss slamming into the rock and will actually save you seconds.

#Go left

#Think ahead

#Use the Force?

Woo i am the fastest!

New fastest time for me is 40.88. I havent seen a time faster than that Oh this is on the tabogon run.


 

Posted

My best last night was 50:63 - but that was only with SS and no buffs.

For the bronze medal, I actually had to use Fly to stop before I crossed the finish line to make sure I was over 1:00 but under 1:10
