I'm trying to get to the 11th Level of Awesomeness in Rayman Legends. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get higher than gold in the normal challenges and silver in the extreme challenges, which means its going to take me four to six months of daily effort. For the distance challenges, I just need to keep practicing. I need help with the timed challenges.
From looking at videos, it seems there are ways of boosting that will increase my speed and ways of landing that keep my momentum. But I can't seem to find any useful tutorials explanations for how to do this. What moves do I need to learn in order to start challenging for Diamond Cups?
For example, at about the 9 second mark in this videom, you can see the player's speed/momentum pick up, but I can't tell what he or she is doing to get up to that speed.
You can see the same speed-up around the 21 second mark of this video, but the player isn't able to maintain it for long.
The speedup happens almost immediately in this video:

Basically two techniques are used. The first technique you probably know where you attack while the sprint button is held down. The biggest speed boost occurs when you attack while running down the hill.
The second technique is when you hold the down button (or holding down on the stick) while jumping. You'll notice in the videos that the characters do a flip when they jump. You're seeing the second technique in action. The jump flipping technique essentially conserves/preserves momentum.
So if you time it right, and speed attack boost down a hill, jump soon after, while holding "down", continue jumping after, and avoiding obstacles while doing it, you can maintain a wicked speed. It takes some practice, but if you can master it, you'll be on your way to the top of the leaderboard in no time.
