Description and Record Purposes.
Bumpy's Breakers
Discovery by: Wouter Jansen
As you come to the first big Jump there is a way to get underneath the top part of the jump where a latter part of the track is. The best podracer to use for the glitch and for record breaking purposes is Bullseye Navoir. There are several ways of doing the glitch. The best fail-safe way of doing it is to stop as you approach the edge, turn around and reverse. This next bit takes timing but if done correctly it should work - As your pod falls off the end of the bridge you need to accelerate fully at the right time and you will be on the track below... but remember to turn right as you are heading into a wall and is the right direction to continue the track. This technique saves about 30 seconds from doing the whole track.

Sebulba's Legacy
Just as you enter the last big long corner where you can also drop down to take the lower track there is a long ridge short cut which connects to the end of the bend on the final stretch to the start line. You need to ride along this ridge which saves several seconds each time off your lap.
Abyss
Latest discovery by: Mike Sheard
The "Myles Bukrim Freestyle":
Finally! A record not set with Ben Quadinaros (or Bullseye). Mars guo reins supreme here. Mars is often the best at climbing things for some strange reason. The Abyss's increadible ramps has allowed for many many freestyle variations. Myles Bukrim first invented a freestyle which allowed for a 13 second lap and I Invented one which allows to do 3 laps in under 25 seconds and a single lap in a rediculous sub 3 seconds. The manoeuver is more about patients than anything else and a little luck. The single lap is the most interesting... perhaps... as it goes against ALL THE RULES and tips for a fast lap. Right a the start there is a dome (note this will not work on Dethro's Revenge)... using mars guo (although this will work with some others) starting just before lap 2, you need to hit the right wall behind the start line at 90 deg. If you are in the right place and you hold right initially the pod will start to climb the wall (it happens quite fast so be careful)... you need to gently slide left making care not to cross the start line until you are JUST over the top of the wall... when this happens, slam on right and do a quick circular loop, landing over the line (you will be close to hitting the dome and you will need to use breaks and no power just as you do the initial lap counter phase). see the video! For 3 laps.......

Gauntlet
The Gauntlet Freestyle is the most difficult technique to perform in the game, perhaps the most difficult manoeuver also. Just as you enter the Rock Surface of Oovo IV you need to ride the wall which is directly in front of you from this position; So as you enter the surface you need to loop around so this wall is now on your left - you need to come in and hit the wall off the jump at the right angle and alternate left and right to hold in position missing the fence. Then you need to position your pod between the wall boundaries of the track below and try and land between them. Obviously, due to the difficult nature of this manoeuver doing 3 laps is extremely difficult and only two people have mastered it - Ben "Gamedraco" and Josh "murryduck" Garvens who incidently is also the WR holder.
Inferno
Latest DiscoveryS by: Mike Sheard
Due to the design of this track, and the game in general, it allows such glitches in the game. Wouter Jansen first discovered a short cut over the large lava fountain to the track opposite but there are several glitches on this track. First, right at the start with Mars Guo you can ride the right wall and leap over the the track on the other side, then after the bridge over lava on the next turn (left) the wall in front of you can be ridden also that the pod flies into the top of the wall - carefully guiding your pod (Mars Guo) you can aim between the tracks outer sections and guide it back onto the track from out of the air.

Insane height jump on Beedo's Wild Ride/Ando Prime Centrum
Discovery by: Mike Sheard
This is not of any useful value but it allows totally insane hight jump from your pod Although the one on Beedo's Wild Ride is Particularly Impressive. On BWR Drive just to before you come to the caverns where there is a thin bridge over the head of the track.
