Shortcuts . . . and thoughts. (Destiny)

That shortcut is definitely the most helpful of the few I've found. It lets you completely avoid an incredibly sharp corner that I've yet to see anyone get right.

The other "shortcut" on Mars is similar, but it causes you to miss two gates, which really hurts your speed.

Speaking of which, your speed is COMPLETELY reliant on gates. Before I played, I assumed the only provided a short boost (or short brake, if you missed), but that's not true. If you intentionally miss a bunch of gates in a row, you slow down to a crawl and cannot speed up until you start hitting gates again.

This event is a lot of fun. The gear is decent looking (and obviously great infusion material!), and the Sparrows are neat. The Shaders really nail it for me, though. I must have them!

My only complaint is the limited tracks. They're great, but some more variety would be nice. I really hope they continue to do SRL and add tracks as they go!
