Winter Wander Advanced: Gold

TLDR; Ground Skim ONLY through the first 5 rings.

[spell=404183] is the key (Swiftleaf was right!)

After a little trial and error, I found a consistent winning strat. I repeated the course 4 more times to me sure. Each time I beat it with 2+ seconds to spare.

Here's the trick. In the beginning, do nothing but glide. No [spell=372608], no [spell=372610], nothing. Let that sweet Vigor build from [spell=404183] until just before the 6th ring/hoop. Seriously. Yes, the third circle is higher than the second one, just drift up and clip the bottom. No [spell=372608] or [spell=372610]! Between the 5th and 6th hoop you should have accumulated 5+ Vigor. At this point [spell=372608] is your friend. With all of this stockpiled Vigor you should be able to time your flaps so they (mostly) never run out.

Good luck, and keep your feet off the ground!

Edit: Works for Reverse too! (After only 3 rings/hoops)

Man I just can't beat this one. Always like 3 seconds off. Any tips?

This guy has the winning strat to ace this. He goes up at the start and does a dive which something something something gets under the gold time. It took me 2 tries with this strat after failing 40-50...
