This gold was another tight timer. I finally got it by only using Surge Forward. In general, I used Surge Forward only enough to get momentum when heading down or straight, so for the beginning, I Surged Forward for the first two rings, then I glided through the third and Surged Forward for the immediate ascent into the next ring. Then I used it around every other ring unless it was a tight corner or rough area for me through the jungle (keeping up that blue glow under your dragon). If I knew the area well, I used it every ring I could. For the water, if the rings were closer to the ground, I went through the rings near the bottom so I was skimming the ground for more vigor. I also cut corners on the rings whenever I could closest toward the next ring whether top, sides, or bottom. By the end ascent, I just spammed Surge Forward and cut corners.
I did try to get every vigor orb on this run, and this was another race that I was consistently getting around 1 second away from a gold, until one run, I just did it right--I guess, and got like 3-4 seconds over what was needed for the gold.
I hope this helps. I also found it helpful to watch DibuckTV's video on this guide.
