Shimmering Slalom Reverse: Gold

A few things that helped me get gold on this one:

--Use Whirling Surge right off the bat.
--About halfway through the course, there's a long-ish stretch between two consecutive rings with no Vigor orb. Use Skyward Ascent as soon as you pass through the first (point up with your camera to gain momentum), then point down as you head for the second.

These two adjustments together were enough for me to get 69.131 seconds as my time. Early on, you'll need to be careful with your Vigor, but in the end stretch there are enough orbs that you'll be able to essentially spam Surge Forward.
