Silence - The Road to a Dream Record

The full story on how I got my new world record on the map Silence by Fahoff, a classic map created in 2008. I call it a dream record because it's the first time in a long while since I was so pleased when reaching the finish line.
Do I think it's beatable?
Yes, I'm pretty sure .5x is possible. But to do it is another thing. You really need everything to go perfectly, including the last platform which tends to be somewhat of a run killer. As I wrote on TMX; if someone beats it I'll be the first one to take my hat off.

This video made me hunt silence as well. I'm nowhere close near your skill level but I'm trying to at least get a dedi on this classic map. Currently sitting on a 45.20 but watching this video keeps motivating me to improve. Thanks for showing me this masterpiece.

[@Ben126LP]

This was really exciting and got even emotionell when I was hoping for you to break the record again

[@ThePhilterExperience]

You built and kept your legacy through this. What an awesome journey you had my friend... the satisfaction of the victory is even bigger when you think how much effort you put into it. Also my favorite thing about everything is adventure itself before the actual record. Like playing and chatting with friends while doing these challenges is just wonderful. I would like to join you all and hang out for random stuff and races. Also I loved the part you actually wrote all musics you've used through your video because I love instrumental soundtracks, they increase the impact and emotion, and give me inspiration to write my story

[@KarjeNtm]

Awesome Vid man. Great to see the journey of a hunt. I think we can relate - whether going for WRs or PRs. The incremental steps, the failed attempts, the glimpse of a new record with one sector in the blue... Great driving, and VNT indeed. And Cam 3.... jeez that's another can of worms haha

Hello, why didnt' you air brake just before the 2 last CP? Is it intentional? a by that wp that's a crazy time you deserve it after all these years gg!

[@KarjeNtm]

Hey, it is intentional. If I'm not mistaken, there is a gear change in that turn, and I just found that not airbraking helped with managing the gear and getting through the turn consistently with good speed.
