Those were moments for me where I discovered I could do something that I couldn’t do before or never thought of trying. The Trion has very fast acceleration. As a noob I mainly would perfect nitro throughout a race. Tapping the nitro quickly three times is an essential tool in this game, and specifically with the Trion, with it’s high acceleration, it can be used to keep the lead in things like MP. So in instances where I would drift, then prefect nitro, I experimented with replacing that perfect nitro with the triple tap instead. There was a moment when farming with the Trion that I started triple nitro tapping at every possible moment (mostly to negotiate curves) and it helped me to see where that technique was useful, and could be applied more to my play style to be more efficient at racing.

The forced barrel rolls: same thing. If you’re running out of nitro it’s a very efficient way to gain more nitro, especially in your single tank game. Forced barrel rolls can be achieved by peeling off the side of a flat ramp.. or barrel roll ramp (the taller opposite side of the barrel roll ramp), to help achieve less hight in your jump, thus saving time and losing less speed. The Mastery Challenge 15 for the 675lt is an EXCELLENT map to experimenting with this concept.

All I mean is: think creatively about how your drive, don’t fall into patterns, think outside the box. That’s when you see people posting videos about map short cuts and want not. It’s because they thrive in this concept I’m attempting to articulate, long windily. Hope that helps answer your question.
