1 Trick to Get Better at Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled

So I recently found out that I've been U-Turn air braking wrong this whole time. There's two different kinds of air braking / U-Turning that I talk about in this video, and if you can do one of them it will help you out a tonne, like I show in the video.

the tutorial I talk about:

*How to be good at CTR*
Lewis: U-Turn
*THE END*

Everyone: Here are 10 tricks!

Lewis: Here is ONE Trick!

You should do a collab with polarsaurusrex, he loves this game too!

"The video is no longer available" ... Well, fuck me for playing a 4 year old game

[ikoky]

Really respect the fact that you didn’t try to just copy the tutorial onto your channel for views and actually had people watch the original video, rare to see these days

There are also the intermediates. They may be able to beat the N Tropy times and they can win against AIs and can get in good places in online races. I'd say I'm in this category.

and another small tip:
Use U-turns *a lot*. I use U-turn on every track, no matter what track it is, it always helps. Learn to use it regularly. At certain times you can save yourself from falling, losing all of your reserves/fire, if you start drifting little bit more towards the walls of the track, then you can use U-turn to not fall and save yourself, etc... So yeah, learn how to use it, and use it regularly.
Coming from a player, which by WumpaLewis is called "Gods, " so I know what I'm talking about.

It took me a bit to get the hang of u-turning as well because I use the joy stick rather than the d-pad I love using it on electron avenue though

[RadiaUmbra]

Thank you so much for this! I always wondered how the pro players made those big aerial sharp turns!

[elijahradecki]

I dont even play this game but now I know so much more after watching your videos

[rastomilan]

seeing polar get the apexes of those turn right makes me pleased

[mrevaporation_]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS TIP THIS COULD DEFINITELY HELP IN A LOT OF GAMES!




If you only posted this when when I was doing Dragon Mine’s Oxide time trail 🥺

[TLimon]

i dont even have this game but i want it so bad, even though i dont have it i still watch your crash videos all the time

[swibbers]

Thank you so much! Haven’t mastered it yet but it helps me a lot improve certain tracks!

I’ve had the game since day one, religiously played it, and religiously played the original CTR and somehow didn’t pick up on this. I’ve always considered myself to be between the advanced and god-like tier but could never fully make the transition. I was using the “brake only in the air” method and it got me by for the most part but I was always curious how people were still turning even more sharply. It’s interesting that you can actually HOLD the brake button while performing this technique, since that would be the last thing that would come to mind. Definitely going to be grinding time trials after this.

It's strange how breaking during the trick does not remove fire

But the reason this is, is because you are technically still hitting the gas, just in reverse, however the fire keeps you moving forward

[benshapirohamburgerhelper]

Hey man keep these videos up. Yes, many people knew about this already, but it shows the community's active and maybe even helped out some people

[aaronpullen]

Thanks so much! I'm going to try learn this method!

Wow good to see Krunk. Big ups for xbox

[bayl]

Practising on Electron Avenue is a great way to do this. Also great if you're farming with a friend for the Wumpa Coin Bonus weekend.
