Am I the only one who thinks that this type of map is really not that enjoyable? Because so much time is spent in the air and on these awkward slopes and if you miss the lineup by like a centimeter you flop around like crazy.
Might just be that I am a very new player, but this map is the only gold medal I need before I unlock the black maps and it is the only one I dont enjoy practicing
If you know the route even with a large-ish mistake the time should be trivial, people are about 7s faster than gold on this map. If you are very new yeah aiming the jumps is likely pretty hard but given a bit of time you'll get it for sure.
The route is very important on this map so maybe look up a discovery on yt, after the first jump the rest should be not to hard without flipping because you have enough speed for the middle path.
It's important to know that you can slow down in the air and stop your rotation in the air by lifting and air brake respectively. If you don't know what this means in practice YouTube will also have explanations for these techniques.
I'd encourage you to give it another hour or 2 especially if you are on f2p, jumps and precision in landing and aiming them is a core part of the game it can't hurt to get more familiar with that as well as unlocking ~1/5 of the driving content.
If you have access to a paid version there's probably also other jump based maps you can find so you can go back and forth, between sensible mapping and nadeo mapping.
I've developed a strategy of watching the top 5 times all together and just watch them do it over and over 5-10 times if I get frustrated. Then I'll try again and that usually helps a ton.
