Best Motocross Times

[Subtle Banshee]

After having spent so very long on trying to get that blasted Gold Medal in the Motocross course, I'm curious: What is the community's best time? I got 24:66.

it's surprisingly easy to gold medal the moto race.
hold right through the hilly first area, jump to clear the first patch of water, let yourself get hit by pig, then jump on second pig and over the third pig.

the key thing is: only jump when you need to. those extra goodies look tempting, but they are distractions at best.

its easy to say how to do it but for most itll take various trys even with advice
as timing timing timing is the key and each person has to get the timing down themselves
for some itll be a short period others longer
as gotta learn the exact time to jump otherwise you lose all your speed

the rewind feature is your friend in this regard.

thats if people want to use it, personally i never really used it but i did at times make a save at the start of the race to save time a few times v.s flying back
most games i prefer to play the way they were intended not with handicaps

See, I tried this method to begin with, because I didn't even realize you could jump until I saw the sign(s), but I still couldn't get the gold medal. So then I tried a guide made eons ago, and it still took a million tries to get it. I've seen on the forums that this Event was a large part of the community's least favorite part, so I wasn't the only one having issues.

As for using cheats, I saved before the race and then midway through if I made good time past a certain point, but I never actually used the rewind feature (although part of me wonders if I had, whether or not I'd have gotten it quicker). I only have a screenshot of the rewind feature here because I was trying to get a screenshot of my time.

What you want to do is hold right throughout the majority of the race. When you get to the lake area after the buildings, jump over the first mound (hitting the first pig, which is fine), then jump over the last two.

I already got the medal. The amount of time it took for me is immaterial. I just want to know what everyone else got...

myself it took awhile various trys
im unsure of my time but i can check and see my screenshots to check
most people will have around the same time for gold as there is only so much you can do to lessen the time
24:85 barely below best being 24:96

Ah okay. Then I got 24:88, but then I didn't bother doing it again. xD

That is more than fair, lol. I'm pretty sure that I have enough AP to get anything/everything I need, and I already have an abundance of everything else you pick up in the level, so I'm not keen on playing it again, either...
