Trials Fusion - Frost Bite 3rd checkpoint - Detailed Tutorial

After numerous requests, I decided to 'attempt' to discuss this particular obstacle. I understand a lot of people are having issues with this. As you will see, I struggled to properly articulate what was happening but hopefully some of it was of use to you.
Be sure to subscribe as I will gladly answer any requests you have to other lessons and I release new videos regularly.

[@WhitedevilEE]

Hello Prof. Shady, I've managed to do this checkpoint in 2 steps now. I'll land on the 1st Plattform and then roll back until my Back tire is about 50% off, almost falling off and then 100% trottle, this will launch you over the 2nd plattform almost every time. But your Physic-Tutorials helped me a lot in the past!!

[@raidenwave4219]

will have to check it out

[@christurner77]

I quit playing over this jump bro you are a life saver I finally made it thanks to your methods. Still have to finish inferno IV

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Just keep at it. This game seems impossible until it isn’t. Trust the process and keep improving on other tracks and keep coming back to the hard ones

[@Shadikun1]

As soon as you said "double bunny hop", I instantly figured it out.

[@UNC00KED]

Duuuddeee... I cannot explain how much this video helped... was sitting at over 100 faults on this obstacle and after watching this video and fully understanding it... I got this obstacle in a few tries. THANK YOU!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

UNC00KED really happy to hear that. When Trials Rising comes out I’ll actually spend more time making these videos as I know people watch them many years after the game comes out. Also you know I’m making the in game tutorials in the new game!!! Can’t wait for Feb!!! Thanks again.

[@2eromike]

I cannot thank you enough, after watching this it only took me a few attempts to get the motion right and the checkpoint done.

[@thepro5102]

this tutorial is SO GOOD that it not only helped me in this map insanely but it really well teaches the mechanic of how to land and maintain speed and jump forvard onto a next obstacle for example in charred remains there is very similar obsticle which i was able to do 90% consistently after this tutorial! damn well done professor!

[@Bad_P0tato]

3000 failed attempts 😭😂 all it needed was a forward back forward at the right time! Thank you!🚀

[@UniversityOfTrials]

That’s all it ever needs!

[@Bad_P0tato]

@@UniversityOfTrials thank you so much! The tutorials have helped loads!!

[@bakum4tsu]

You say a lot of times that if we are watching these videos is because we are stuck but, at least in my case, that's not.. the case. I watch to learn more tips and because I like your videos. Actually, despite having at the moment 15 faults on Frostbite, I aslo have watched this video to try to get some tips for this jump because this is the one that screws my faults on this tracks eheh Thanks again!!

[@Dingohnter]

Spent hundreds of attempts on this part alone...I gave up and never got it. I am definitely giving it another go when I get some time to play! Thanks !!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Let me know how you go with it. I find that sometimes taking a break from Trials is a good thing. When you come back you'll do things you felt were impossible previously.

[@Dingohnter]

UniversityOfTrials Ok, so i finally got past it! I have no idea what I did different so there's no way that I can be consistent yet. However, I got stuck at the very next checkpoint and timed out lol It didn't seem like I could build up enough speed on the second platform to make it up to the wall... Oh how I love and hate the game all at the same time.

[@567JAMEZ]

Thank Christ for this video, playing the game through again since it's on Xbox one now and that one obstacle is way harder than I remembered

[@UniversityOfTrials]

glad the video helped. I recently made another video on the whole track but this is the hardest one if you don't know the technique.

[@meshuggah921]

These videos you make are amazing. Thank you for presenting a very well detailed explanation for this track, as well as every other track you've done. Helped me out a lot!!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

meshuggah921 glad you found the channel and it helped you. I just want people to enjoy the game and not leave because you’re frustrated. :)

[@Casprizzle]

I don't know why KZbin recommended this to me now, I remember being stuck on this obstacle 9 years ago when this video came out and it helped immensely. I got a lot better at Trials since then, doing some ninja tracks in Rising but never completing I think the Green Belt or something. It is a shame how this video game franchise ended up, I wish they made more of these :(

[@raidenwave4219]

thanks to this tutorial, and after more than a 1000 tries, I've passed the 3rd checkpoint + i could finish the full frostbite run thanks to the full frostbite tutorial (that i've watched in my desperation, not being able to pass checkpoint 3). also it helped how you stressed out that the physics are really crucial in this checkpoint. helped me get it. thanks fatshady !

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Any time man. Loads of tutorials for this and Rising so have a look if you get stuck again. Good luck.

[@ckybamm422]

Thank you so much! This part was KILLING me! Can get this part now in less then 3 tries.

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Great news. Thanks and glad it helped. It's a really tricky thing to explain.

[@Delta7]

UniversityOfTrials happy new year !!!

[@vicla4757]

Thanks! When I finally got it, it had taken me +400 attempts and 28min, but now I know how to get over it =)

[@UniversityOfTrials]

congrats

[@aaronwinterhoff1249]

Brilliant video. I was struggling with this technique on a number of user made extreme tracks, and you have helped heaps. Video made total sense :), thanks!

[@mthw924]

Thanks a lot for this, helped me tons, had basicly given up on improving my sliver on this track I was having so much trouble with this bit. Just got a gold within 5mins of watching this, maybe one day i'll get a plat.

[@NickBiancalana]

Should put the controller in view of the camera as you're doing the jump. You're right that it is a lot of flicks quickly. Maybe better is if you had a similar obstacle you could show how softening the landing allows you to accelerate when you land on the incline. Then this obstacle is just tacking a bunny hop onto the end.

[@swamdono]

Isn't it the same technique used to climb steep hills after landing on them? Rotate the back wheel around then tap weight forward to push the back wheel down into the slope to catch the right angle.

[@smaagi5455]

swamdono Yes except you don't load your back spring on hill climb

[@BurgerChrist]

Just got the platinum today. I do this one being seated on the bike and going ease on the throttle until the first line on the ground, then full throttle and a little bunny hop to the first platform. Quite consistent I have to say. My nightmares were the 4th checkpoint (really don't know why) and the 6th checkpoint (the one you ended this video with). The rest of the track is kinda easy to platinum if you know the right techniques. Great tutorial btw!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Rocco Altomare thanks. Yeah my whole philosophy is that once you know the technique it’s much easier and everyone should be able to pass an extreme track.

[@zero-cool-ire3788]

BOOM! Just got it thanks to this vid, you are a genius!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Glad to hear it. I still hate how poorly i described what i was doing but it seems to be helping people so i'm fine with it.

[@zero-cool-ire3788]

UniversityOfTrials Nope you explained it perfectly. I was able to use your description of 'jumping, lean back to get the rear wheel down and then lean forward so the back wheel has room to spring to get you the bounce'. I used that technique to get through other parts easier as well. Just need to get bronze in Rock of Rages (that bastard 2nd last jump!) and inferno before I go for the silver in Extreme's. Thanks man!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

sheehy83 No problem. Love hearing stories like yours because this is why I started the channel. You'll get so much more out of this game when you understand what you're doing. btw I got 48 seconds on Rock of Rages last night (0 fault) but we all started out like you. Stick at it and let me know when you complete the others. I should have other vids to help if you get stuck.

[@zero-cool-ire3788]

UniversityOfTrials Well you're just sickening me now with your 48 seconds :D Will do but might be a while :) Saying that, I was stuck on trying to get Gold on Ice Climb and Hard Wheeling for the last couple of months and got the 2 yesterday 1 after the other. After just clearing Frostbit, I'm on a roll, let's do this! PS. After watching your other vids, I might retire once I just get Bronzes on eac Extreme :) Subbed anyway, great channel!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

sheehy83 The worst thing is that there are people SO much better than me. It's crazy how good people get at this game.

[@IZYSTUFF]

best tuto ive seen so far since game came out. ik it hard to explain as it a madder how it feels but you got that pretty right and no need to say sorry for mistakes

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Wizzow thanks. Tutorials for Trials Rising will be a bit more organised and planned out :)

[@kevincori82]

oh ive been struggling on that part for soo soo long, The few times i did do it i fluked it because it looked nothing like that lol Thank you very much and im finding a bit more consistancy getting past it :)

[@Blahsheep]

WHHHHHHATTT And you just do it twice in one shot. LOL I might as well shoot myself in the face. I mean damn, I've tried it over 400 times and haven't done it. lol

[@Blahsheep]

I actually did complete it. It took along time though

[@KevinGeneFeldman]

Don't know how you're doing it so consistently. I had been doing this very thing and it was the rare occurrence that I managed to get up on the second platform.

[@molomono9795]

It's just a change in suspension physics. Short step guide, 1. land back weel first 2. Instantly on contact lean back 3. hold gas the entire time. 4. Add a bunyhop at the end but don't worry about this until you get the landing right. if you attempt it a lot you will start to figure out the timing in Fusion.

[@joelmanu9780]

As soon as I read that I made the jump Thank you.

[@hippychrisyt2127]

did this the other night.. it was a pain.. I fluked it after about 100 faults.. so glad I know how to do it properly now, be much easyier next time I attempt this track.. i say much easier but this track is lethal

[@CthulhuNecross]

FINALLY! Thank you so much for the detailed description of this tricky jump ( for me, at least ). Now I can do it in a couple of tries :D

[@SMCca]

Love the videos man very handy! You're the trials tutorial king!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Thanks

[@stuartdavies3010]

you make it look sooo easy your vieos are so helpfull thanks

[@Chatrunner1967]

Definately a GOOD tutorial:) Thx and greets from The Netherlands

[@ItsMaxwellBro]

After watching this, I got it on the third try! Thanks!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

ItsMaxwellBro Great, I remember making this and struggling to find the words to describe what's going on so glad it got through to you. what's your next challenge?

[@TimmyK916]

I'm going to practice this again now. I was mostly trying to stop after the first landing and that just wasn't possible, and I was trying to stop because doing one full motion was bouncing me too high off the first. I wasn't getting that soft landing like you are.

[@Mr_armageddon]

i'd like to see a full track explanation if you have time to make one. definitely helped me with that part though

[@phannypack3951]

Yes i really like your videos and cant beat the first obstacle.

[@ggttyu9940]

For those who are just trying to get to the end of the track, i suggest that you use the rabbit because it is very small and lightweight and can really do well on that obstacle

[@blitzkyy6630]

great tutorials man helped me in like 5 mins i got the jump thanks

[@OrElseEllipsis1945]

I watched this at .25x speed, and your voice was frightening. :O

[@PinQbits]

I had to look this up when I got stuck on this obstacle. Still couldn't do it like this because I have trouble stringing motions together. When you said it can't be done by steadying the bike on the first platform and bunnyhopping up, a voice in my head said "challenge accepted". After about 180 faults, I actually managed it but i wouldn't recommend it as a consistent method.

[@UniversityOfTrials]

nice. I've had a few moments like that myself. it's always good to push even if its pointless :)

[@PinQbits]

+UniversityOfTrials I think it's important to continually aim to improve. Your videos have helped my game tremendously, and for that I thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@reignofreality4270]

I made the jump. Again, ty (wish I looked this up years ago 😋) Im gonna go ahead and assume you are thee FS that is reffed in the Rising loading texts 👍

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Yep that’s me. I did all tutorials in Rising. Glad these helped.

[@smithypltc359]

you make it look easy i tried it yesterday with no look but after seeing your video it looks possible. will have to try it when not as ill thanks for the tutorial ill let you know if i make it :)

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Smithy-_-1987 P Please do. It's a tough thing to explain and its why i spent so much time on it. Hopefully you figure it out. It's an important technique.

[@smithypltc359]

UniversityOfTrials nope you explained it very well. its the only level i dont have a medal in so i appreciate you uploading it. just not my day today on trials and id like to keep my pad in one piece. but or sure ill let you know when i have done it :)

[@Tor010]

easier to do than explain! well done sir

[@smithypltc359]

Get in !!! your the man. finally done it

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Smithy-_-1987 P Congrats.

[@StyleofNils123]

Once again, thank you! Finally completed it on silver... gonna get gold today, I feel it :D

[@kanocoach]

fantastic video, this was doing my head in thanks man

[@UniversityOfTrials]

great. glad it helped.

[@radwiimp]

This jump. I beat Inferno IV in less than 200 faults before ever getting this one.

[@shadow.banned]

...PHEW. Wow dude... kinda long on the emphasizing instructions but it's okay. Was relieving to just finally see you do it.

[@UniversityOfTrials]

It's crazy hard to explain what is going on and you could probably see that. I want to focus as much on the theory as i do on the jump because it's the deeper understanding that will actually teach you what is happening and you can then apply that to other tracks. But I know I also talk heaps!! :)

[@shadow.banned]

UniversityOfTrials Believe it or not, this was the only track in the game I hadn't completed (and dreaded going back to). But after watching this and getting past this particular obstacle, I finally got through it so... the tips really helped. Thanks.

[@SluggerCSJ]

This obstacle used to be one of the worst for me, but I (somehow) got gold on the track with 31 faults...then I did all 3 challenges. Master of Illusion (invisible rider) was a nightmare. The one to under-10 fault the track w/ the Rabbit actually wasn't that bad...this obstacle is far easier with the Rabbit, got to the point where I could do it consistently within 5 tries

[@PeefRimgarGames]

Or in the words of Michael "Rage Quit" Jones, just fuck the analog stick. Lol

[@rhettlila1855]

After about a month of trying, I finally passed Rock of Rages last night, passed the next one immediately after and then got to this and lost all hope

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Just keep coming back and you’ll get it.

[@Szylwius]

Will you be going for the zero fault Roach challenge on Rock of Rages?

[@jessebb193]

Bruh I’m very familiar with the physics in this game there has to be something up with that metal platform not launching the bike like In every other obstacle it’s very obnoxious lol I’ll give your advise a try

[@electronictaco53]

Had to give up on this section after about 3 hours of futility. A slow-mo breakdown of the technique would probably help 'cause it's all happening too fast for me to understand

[@electronictaco53]

Still got closer than before though thanks to your tutorial, so thanks for making this!

[@fabiofoerg]

thanks verry mutch you helped me a lot

[@Corn0nTheCobb]

This helped a lot. Thank you!

[@minikiwi6796]

You're an actual god

[@ThatHoppyGuy]

Thanks your a life saver,

[@Senorcheff]

i've been trying this, but i can never make it to the second platform.

[@burzerk]

For some reason I just can't get this down. I think I've only gotten past this obstacle 3 times and it was just luck. And by the time I had gotten past it I'd have so many faults that I can't complete the track. Anyone have any other methods for this? It's the only extreme track I have yet to complete.

[@burzerk]

Finally justcompleted it! Still a fluke on that obstacle though. lol

[@shadow.banned]

The rest?

[@cameronmclintock9050]

Finally done it thanks

[@rudhelm6721]

Just stuck at this obstacle... tried like 300 Times this afternoon, and possibly a 1000 times over all. The most frustrating thing is, if i finaly make it to the second platform and don't understand why it worked 😂 then get nervous and mess up... I will try again this evening. Light City Run i found much easier than this. Rock of rages was Pain also, and i dont even make it over the first obstacle ond Inferno IV 😂

[@rudhelm6721]

Aaaaaand... i made it 😂 241 Faults, 14 minutes something... it is so satisfying to finally made it. Just play Trials for 3 or 4 months now, 2 Kids, the third on the way, so there is not that much time to play. I did know this Technique, basically «just» the best way ro land on flat or upwards section but there is so little space. I tried and tried the consecutive bunny hop here (wich i suck at also 😂) and did a waay to big bunny hop first, so most times my frontwheel was to far over the obsacle or i flipped backwards. Thanks, Professor Shady!

[@rudhelm6721]

+Rud Helm I meant downward sections 😉

[@carefreejimbob]

Lol. "why?" xbox records a fail. I'm always wondering that too 😂

[@publius101]

i must've spent at least 1500 attempts on this checkpoint before i got it - protip: do it on the rabbit. i can now get it consistently in ~10, and just got gold on this track :D now for those goddamned inferno barrels. still can't do 'em.

[@UniversityOfTrials]

publius101 Hey, I have a few Inferno tutorials. In the main vid there is also a link to the specific barrels section. good luck.

[@publius101]

i have seen them, will keep trying. thanks :)

[@lerp85]

Everything makes sense my problem is no matter how I land the bike bounces a little and ruins my momentum.

[@UniversityOfTrials]

I suspect it's all about timing. While you may be very close to the right technique, you may have the timing a little off. Maybe try warp zone 4 as a practice track which is a similar technique but easier? Good luck.

[@AngryK1tty]

This section gave me the most grief of the entire level

[@mattydraxao3696]

2 days and over 1000 faults later I still haven't managed it... don't think this game's for me lol

[@UniversityOfTrials]

go back and work on some easier tracks platinums and come back to it after a break. or improve your time on eye of the storm for example.

[@mattydraxao3696]

UniversityOfTrials I'll try, thanks for the tip, I just don't think my hands are quick enough any more haha

[@UniversityOfTrials]

+Matty Draxao trust me everyone goes through that. it just means you're progressing a little too fast. take your time and when you come back after a bit you'll surprise yourself.

[@mattydraxao3696]

UniversityOfTrials Cheers again, good tutorial btw, got much further than I was after watching

[@UniversityOfTrials]

+Matty Draxao no probs man. the channel is for people like you so I'll always help. I just want people to push past that Frustration and get to the other side. once you get over this next bit the game is so much more enjoyable. if you need anything just ask. I'm stupidly busy ATM but happy to help if I can.

[@dannyhoyle1494]

Imo, far worse than any part of the Inferno track!! Even after this video I have had countless attempts at this checkpoint but no avail. Couple of close shaves, but i believe that was more luck than judgement aha!

[@dannyhoyle1494]

Scratch that, did the track on a Rabbit instead, somehow came off! Don't know how!

[@pumpernickelnickel1556]

Thanks it made me get past it

[@UniversityOfTrials]

GG

[@dj_panderz]

that helped a lot

[@Poulpc]

nice video, i made it over :)

[@jackslash3121]

I fucking hate this track!! Dude your video helped on that bit, but the rest of the level still rapes me.

[@KazumaKiryu-0]

it feels like the female is lighter

[@NOAHROCK10]

you just have to learn how toc arry your momentum in trials with da physics n sheit

[@DeadCry1000]

6:15 i can explain it in german :D so you have to feel good by explain it in english xD

[@kobemarshall6913]

Yeahh
