Time Trials: am I missing something?

[Tomandandy]

So I'm not too far into the game yet, but I'm struggling a lot with the two time trials that I've attempted so far.
I only played as Red Hood yet, and his movement feels really sluggish, especially in the air. The mystic leap doesn't really help at all, its just a short jump in the air that doesn't really give you any momentum. I feel like I'm just falling down all the time, hoping to get good hook spots with the grappler, but these seems to be so unprecise that it feels like its mostly up to RNG.

Am I missing a trick, do I just need more practice, or am I maybe too used to the smooth Batman movement from the Arkham games?

More practice. They are hard to get used to but once you do they're pretty cool.

Thanks for the heads up! I've been playing some more and also tried other characters and you were right, the time trials do get much easier with practice.
Just skipping a few waypoints and also only using the grappling hook did the trick, which felt a little counterintuitive, but whatever gets the job done.
