I learned a new trick :)

Last night I thought I'd dust off the ol' girl and see if I couldn't get some more rank 8 golds...
And I found a sneaky little trick that did indeed net me golds where before were bronzes. Anyone who's familiar with Wipeout should get it...
Use the boost attack (R1/L1) like side shift in Wipeout. It basically stops your slide and starts you going in the direction you're pointing. It means you can approach corners faster which seems to give you a much better advantage over the AI.
I haven't tried it online yet, but I bet it helps.
The only downsides are that you need one finger on R1 and one on R2, and obviously it doesn't work for bikes or ATVs.
I was going to post it on the EU Sony forums, but this little tip should stay behind closed doors :cool
