I've been running around on a CTF map for about 5 minutes now. I can get my speed to stick at about 140 km/h and I've sort of got the hang of clearing hills. So I can ski I just can't get to ridiculous speeds yet, nor can I ski jump. Either I need to improve a lot or the Ski Challenge tutorial is a trick by the developers to make me feel bad for not being able to hit the maximum height goal when going at 170km/h
Another update managed to hold 200 for about 5 seconds (Right before my puppy tried to eat my arm and in that split second distraction I hit a large hill and lost momentum)
I've also gotten to the point where I can out ski turret shots which is awesome.
Again no I can use both the space bar for skiing and right mouse for jetpack. With the mounds on the challenge I simply overshoot them when I jet, which is something I'm trying to fix but other than cancelling my forward momentum I can't land on the other side.
As with hitting the hill my puppy pulled my arm off of my mouse and when I hit the hill I was unable to jet over/up it.
Other than being able to clear tall buildings with a single bound and having to deal with my puppy and his fascination with arms I think I'm good for skiing.

Going fast and following UPS Kingpin on a flag run
Speed 92.
lol
I was waiting for someone to call me out on that hahahaha.
Truth, after looking through all the screencaps I have of the game, I don't have any pictures of me actually going fast and showing anything interesting.

Next up: Shooting accurately at speeds over 150.
Lol, well I can't help with puppy's attempt at the cutest arm-mauling ever, but I also may be the worst person to give advice in the game. I've only played through the tutorials and a few bot rounds.

That grab was pretty epic man. Plus dat disk boost.
Ilriyas, best advice I can give is to basically hold down the ski button at all times. No real reason to let off it unless you need to stop. You won't always nail downslopes (especially at speed), but if you can catch just a little bit of it, or at least land of flat ground, you can maintain speed and let your jetpack recharge before the next hill. The most important bit is that you're ready to line up for a flag grab.
