Arctic Blast has good theme to it, giving a slight feeling of isolation (no pun intended). Slipping around on the water tends to annoy me a bit, but that's Jet Moto (and life, due to TruePhysics, lol). For me, it tends to get hectic mostly on the cliff area, trying to outrun the other riders and keeping your speed up while not falling off.
Around the oil rig, I tend to take the inside corner first, then the outside wall, because my overall plan in the series of Jet Moto is to keep grounded as long as you can to keep my speed going. Everything else is bump & grind for me! Or, basically, I go with the flow.

Almost gives me a sort of rush trying to fly through that section. Can't believe I never commented on this thread. Arctic Blast is easily one of my favorites. Difficult enough to keep you on your toes, the AI is pretty solid, and the music is perfect for it. The annoying part for me is the waves. They really can make or break a lap time depending on if they push you into a boundary.

Pretty hard track until you get the lay of the land. My trouble spot is the beginning turn into the ice cave that hops out into the waves and the end. I only have troubles with the end on higher difficulty when the AI gets feisty.

I used to have trouble with the last jump right at the end before the drop, because the last platform isn't lined up properly. It took me a while to get used to riding up the edge of the wall and coming down lined up for the jump.

Yeah the final platforms seem kinda misaligned. You really have to remember where you jump off or you're going for a ice cold swim.
I can never come out smoothly from the cave also.

I remember that turboing at just the right time will allow you to bypass the last platform, but you have to be angled just right to miss the fall barrier.

Ya I always try that and I barely get it. The fall barrier is really close. I always come in on the outside so I can never get it. Gotta go back and try going inside more often.

I love this track, but I always attempted to shortcut by jumping off the side of the last platform before the finish, which would be great if this were Planet X, and not Arctic Blast. As it stands, however, I always fell, even with enough momentum to propel me forward past the buoys bordering the edge of the course.

Haha, not on Arctic Blast. Trust me, I've tried far too many times, but it seems like it's set to make you fall unless you go on the main route.

One of my favourite tracks in the game, not for it's simplicity but because it's very well desgined for a beginner level, same with Aftershock ( a level for which i have a perfect run).
