Hints 'n' Tips
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The racing line
---------------
To become the best of the rest you must learn to take bends at the 
maximum possible speed and reduce the shape of corners to their
minimum possible angle.

Use ALL of the track, even the rumble strips.

The Pits
--------
Should your bike take a lot of damage from colliding either with 
other rides or track barriers you may find it becoming more 
difficult to control. Steer your machine into the pits for a
quicker repair job.
