Garden Gallivant Reverse: Gold

From the launch platform you look to the left and up from the first portal.
There is a small peak there that you can land on and set your timelock at.
This is a good jump on the course, and you're diving straight down too.

The one weird trick for this one ... is that there is no one weird trick. I know, I'm surprised too. My first couple of runs were like 3 seconds off gold though and I just couldn't figure out how I was going to make up time.

In the end this is just a course of being really efficient with your line and spamming (as usual) surge forward. For the line efficiency this means trying to main as straight a flight as possible by hitting the edge of rings rather than zigging and zagging to hit the middles. It also means trying to maintain a slight downward angle even through the flat parts by starting high and trending low. Shortest distance between two points, as best you can.

1. Skyward Ascent.
2. Start spamming Surge Forward and never stop.
3. Ignore the vigor ball just in front of the first tower to the right as you are headed down. (Between the fourth and fifth rings of the course.)
4. Ignore the vigor ball on the left just after the ring before where you turn upward for the first time.
5, The only semi-tricky part, imo: there's an annoying tree right after the bridge where you go through three arches and one final ring before having to jog right to head back. Keep left coming out of the last arch ring into the ring before the tree and you should be able to make the turn without being robbed of momentum by clipping the tree.

Good luck! Highway to the danger zone...
