[@roythomas5542]

There's actually a physics explanation to why airbraking works - it's done quite frequently in bmx racing; basically though braking transfers the rotational inertia from your spinning wheels into your frame, effectively making your wheel stop moving, and your frame continuing to do so. So if your wheel is attached to your frame, the vehicle has no choice but to rotate on that axis (which happens to be forward). This causes you to be able to stop pulling your nose up, and pull it down mid air. It's also for the opposite reason that acceleration midair causes the opposite rotation as braking It's a really cool real world thing that a lot of people don't realize exists irl

It was extremely rare to get a game completely free without a catch.

[@CatzHoek]

An airbreak is somewhat of a realistic behavior just that it works exactly the opposite of how it does in reality. Motocrossers use that in every jump. It´s the conservation of angular momentum. The rotational energy stored in the spinning wheels is transfered to the whole bike when you break. So break = tilt forward. Reving up the engine however tilts the bike in the other direction.

I love the song you use for the 'final' record in these videos. It's so hopeful and inspiring and fits the mood for the videos so well.

[@bpdhoneymoon]

love the video. it feels incredible after all that happened, remembering every step and every cut. its like having seen a lifetime of a map. the only thing i missed in the video, was the 2021 F-9 TAS by Alexander B. wouldve been a really good ending to the story. but nonetheless very well made documentary! respecting the effort and love u put in these. ♥

i got into trackmania yesterday because of you thanks!

This video is a gift that keeps on giving. I want to comment on why but I don't want to ruin a single second of this masterpiece for anyone. If you get recommended this and don't know who Wirtual is or what TrackMania is, I strongly suggest investing your time in this video! Great work mate!

[@eti1777]

"On (date), (name) got this run" is one of the greatest attention catchers i've ever heard. You really made some unique and amazingly captivating storytelling videos i've ever seen, based on a "basic" video game there'll ever be. The information and added context and evidence are so satisfying.

[@rayyu3910]

I have never played Trackmania and I'm not really interested in racing games but these videos are so professional, entertaining and fun to watch that I'm always very glad, when one of your videos pops up in my recommended.

[@Hagrido7]

In my opinion my favorite words by this legend are, "____ got this run"

[@HolyCodzta]

Got a lot of RWhiteGoose vibes from this vid and especially from that phrase!

[@TempestKrimps]

your editing is just... brilliant. with each of these slowmos i feel like i'm entering some sort of dreamscape, it's surreal and amazing

[@kay_sou]

Me, not a TM player, watching the first 26 minutes having watched Wirtual's other videos: Huh, surprised there's no Uberbug here. Seems like this track is set up in a way that it'd be possible. Me, immediately afterwards: Oh, there it is.

[@spect80r]

"Amidst all the shortcut ideas, one player would first set a new normal-way world record. And you might have heard of him before." "It was none other than- Me: Hefest? "-PabloGD." Me: oh

oh???

[@SacilvioSantos]

I don't know this franchise, I don't play this franchise, I won't play this franchise. And yet, this is the 4th video I watch entirely. What a great gift you have to make interesting videos... You see it is your job, since I have no interest on the subject; but it is so well narrated, written and edited that I've liked so much. Oh, how I wanted so good videos like yous for Red Dead Redemption, GTA, Bully, CoD and others...

[@logag1234]

Wirtual have outdone himself with the montages of multiple runs and different angels in this video. Awesome video!

[@CameronMB]

I've never played Trackmania and this video still made it feel nostalgic. well made

15:50 I saw the spanish skin, I thought "it's pablogd." 15:55 I burst out laughing

[@burnellblaze]

I've watched so many of Wirtual's videos and still haven't played a second of the game.. he makes it so interesting

[@ileutur6863]

Don't even bother at this point, you'll be depressed by how hard even the most basic of these speed tricks are to pull off. I've been a regular player for years and I can't get close to most of these times

[@qqwp9937]

Well of course hunting WRs are some quite hard stuff but you can aim for author medals and it's still satisfying imo. TMNF is free on Steam and does not really require high specs, you can try if you want.

[@matanmoskovich4587]

That’s the 7th time I get this recommended and I still enjoy watching it

[@GildeShiro]

Never played one single TrackMania game, but your vids are so good, and the speedrunning comunity of TM is so dedicated it gets me emotional.

[@NotTHEColinDoyle]

I love how both Hardtack and Twince got records in the long run that’s fantastic! ❤️

[@arthurvictor6704]

For the past days, i gave been watching Wirtual videos about trackmania records, shortcuts, insane attempts and the game in general. And I'm in complete awe! All the history and genius thought behind such plays are almost unimanginable to me, this has to be one of the most brilliant speedrunning community i have seen! Thx Wirtual for presenting it at the best way possible.

[@x3ll3nmusic]

I love how some of the players have ridiculous name, some of your french fans probably laughed at the guy named "Pticon"

[@brunoceros]

en effet...

[@Niconelli12]

I played TMN ESWC & Forever as a kid. I was not a veeery good player, my thing was more to create maps in the editor (I think I have an old backup with the maps). Although I never thought that the community of these games would be so big, I rather thought that they were a couple of games that not many people knew unfortunately. Thanks to your videos I find out that this is not the case, and after watching almost all your documentaries, now it made me want to play again, and complete the campaign for the first time! I downloaded TMNF (Steam) and I only need to get a gold medal on the red and black maps. Thank you Wirtual for giving me back a little piece of my childhood !!

man Eror was so subtle with his cheating, he almost got away with it

@Kriaz, fact is that his comment has been deleted twice now....

[@bastaartp7855]

Hey Wirt, thanks for the great video! Small sidenote: the bug is called randstein, not rammstein. Randstein refers to the edgestone you often find to separate sidewalk and road, so the side of the road. Rammstein is the military base/metal band we all know and love :p

[@jonathananker9671]

I though it was called Rammsteain after the german band, where the car would maybe do a signature movement of theirs? It makes more sence now.

[@bastaartp7855]

@@jonathananker9671 True I guess thats what most people think. Let me edit that in the comment :)

[@Underdogger]

Fantastic video as usual. Love the timeline of the discovery of shortcuts, the attempts and completions of said shortcuts, and the presentation of the track as a whole.

I love HOW RIOLU HAS SLOWED DOWN SO MUCH THAT HE WAS LEFT BEHIND IN TIME APPERENTLY .... hahaha

[@TheOniromane]

Dude I'm on a spree watching these documentaries and I've even never played trackmania. Also one thing that drives me crazy is how I can recognize most of the iconic music tracks you use and how tastefully you use them. This is quality stuff, thank you.

[@o_Kai_]

I really love these kind of videos that Wirtual does
