Too many times, I've been the last guy in the online game who just can't do it. I've spent hours switching cars, dropping into the quarry and driving back out for another attempt, ad nauseam. I've hit that ramp hundreds of times. I've watched all the youtube videos. I've done everything short of buying the toy cars. I'm convinced that you could only do this in years past, prior to patches that have updated the physics, yet somehow, everyone else makes it look easy. Like clockwork, I'll spend one second doing one barrel roll, straighten out, and then freefall with four wheels parallel to the ground for 3.5 seconds more. I know that the laws of conservation of momentum don't necessarily apply, and this frustrates me to no end. Can anyone give me any advice here? The Isuka GT and similar vehicles do nothing for me. Please help!
