Yep, I was! Then yesterday I hit the beach at Godrevy all day! Making the most despite still not being able to walk!

p.s. I've made 18 days

SUCK IT OLI!!!!!

I'm sure I could knock that down a bit, but I really do have better things to do.

Unfortunately, they're all really boring

Well, with a broken ankle, I really don't have a lot of better things to do, so I've been working hard at it.

Can't get better than 16 though.....

I'm down to 17 now but I can do better - I haven't got a broken ankle - i'm just addicted to the game

What makes for good strategy in the first 5 days?

Day 1 - Just do normal jump should get $17
Day 2 - Buy 1 accelerator and get the distance challenge - should get $52
Day 3 - Buy the Hang glider - get Height + Time challenge - this unlocks 10' ramp - approx $100.
Day 4 - Buy 2x Acceleration 1x Ramp height and 1x Air resistance - get Height + Time challenge on 10' ramp - approx $320.
Day 5 - Buy Rocket and 2x ramp height - do the last 5' challenge for speed.

This is how i'm currently doing the first 5 days, although, it is tricky to get Height + Time challenge together on days 3 & 4.

Hmm, I don't get the distance trial on day 2

Interesting. I have a slightly different method, but I can't remember to post it until I do it, if you know what I mean. I'll pop back in a bit.

Ok, try this:

Day 1 - $17 - Buy acceleration #1
Day 2 - bounce twice on the water and get $25 for the jump and $25 for 40' challenge = $52, so buy first glider
Day 3 - Pull up hard off the ramp and go for the 10' height challenge, make a bell curve with your trajectory and you should clear $40-$48 + $25 for height challenge.
Buy acceleration #2 and #1 height and drag.
Day 4 - You'll hit 45mph immediately off the ramp, so just glide as long as you can. In my example that's $73 + $50 for the speed and time challenges. Take acceleration up to #3 and height to #2.
Day 5 - 10' ramp pull up sharp on take off until you stall, then nosedive and pull up at the last minute to maintain for as long as possible. That got me $153 + $200 for height and time challenges.

My main sticking point is the 225mph limit. It sometimes takes me several goes

:edit: scrub that, got the hang of it now

If you do the height challenge, then nose-dive flat out it works every time

Go up initially then burn your rockets with 0% air resistence (i try to get his tummy skimming the water to spice it up a bit).

(but then again my best score is 23 so perhaps there's a better technique for the speed challenge, i got height speed and time in one go once, that was fun.)

Well I thought I'd fluked it with that 16 before, but I've just completed another one!



Managed the 6000ft without full drag, just top everything else.

Just got in in 16 days now - joint leader , aiming for 15 now
