The boots are supposed to make you slide more so you're likely to lose control on the turns. I'd be interested if people have tried this. Personally I am planning to use my ornaments on other things. Purrrrple Lurrrrpa!

Huh... haven't timed mine. But I will.

All I can say is that I've never had trouble beating the critter that races me.

I don't really jump stop, but I find that drifting into corners helps.

I haven't been able to knock people down with snowballs on the track, tho I get mauled by snowmen while racing. I'm calling this a bug and the devs should fix this !!! I SHOULD be able to knock down racers of the opposite faction with my snowballs, as I can while on the 'fast and flurrious' podium at race start.

I take my time, probably 2 1/2 to 3 min, but I always win. My character in targ form is unbeatable

Hah!

I just made it just under 45 SECONDS! Without any rolling...
proof: Fastest yet!

You should maybe atleast try to not have Rick-roll in the URL when you try to send us back five years.

The boots do seem to stack with the track's +speed -traction effect, though I may be imagining things too. Can still do it pretty quickly though; most often I'll be able to lap the last guy's opponent if I go right after him. Sometimes I even lap the last racer if he's one of the slower ones.

I have actually passed the person who is racing before me's opponent a couple times now. no boots required.

just roll on the corners.

trackball mice <3

i wish it kept time and had a leader board so we could see who really was the fastest..

Snowmen never give me trouble as long as I signal the Race Coordinator before I can get hit by one. Once I'm flashed on to the track and starting the race, the snowmen leave me alone. It used to be bugged but they seemed to have fixed it a few days ago.

2:15 is my fastest time. I'm slow, but unless I lag I beat the AI competitor nearly all the time. Once in a great blue moon the lag might have me bounce off the track and DQ me, which is a real pain in the behind especially when the finish line is practically in sight or your more then half way done and the Gazebo is a long way away to reset the race.
