The shortcuts require skill, I know. (Destiny)

The past handful of races have had my competitors push me off the shortcuts. It has led me to train the turns.

Boy, let me tell you, perfecting the Venus zig-zag is exciting as hell. There's a cliff on the zag you can use as centripetal force by riding the edge that triggers adrenaline rushes every time.

I don't think I'm ever taking the Venus shortcut again.

I'm able to take the "long" way around without letting off the gas using side-boosts, so I'm able to benefit from the gates and out-race any short-cut taker.

1v1 me bros. If you're able to hit the gate right before the shortcuts, it gives you an advantage 90% of the time against even the best corner-huggers.

Although it is risky, and it doesn't always benefit you (30 seconds into the clip).
