bro you just answered a big puzzle for me with the section on tilting, I was seeing people fly way further than I thought was possible and couldn't understand it.
Yeah no bro the first trick is basic physics any pilot would agree. If you pull(pulling down) the nose of a projectile it goes up and if you push it goes down.
@flowflips3172 how old are you? What's your education level? Because you aren't making any sense, and I don't want to explain it to someone who couldn't comprehend it
On controller you can totally slalom with default binds. There is a window in which you can release drift, enter your directional input+press the drift button and hold abd you will reenter the same drift. Once you left go of drift middiar you have a second or two before the car straightens back out
Is anyone else blown away by this in a way that make you a lil jaded? Like, I’m ok being able to change the controls to do an air drift in casual racing, but in Ranked the controls should be the same so you can’t do basically a cheat.
When you are on the controller button assignment page scroll down to drift, change that to RB, keep air dodge on X. Now when you are drifting with RB you an hold RB and press A to jump and hold your drift.
Tried it, but the ability to ensure that you instantly get the boost to come out by simply holding the X button is much more consistent for gaining height.
@@baggelissonic it’s because it’s a bad idea. You won’t be able to ‘steer while floating’ when tapping the X to sustain the jump booster and steer at the same time. Doing so will cause you to aerial dodge instead. I thought about binding both and I realized the lack of control on maps where you need to float and steer towards a shortcut. And holding the button won’t help for floating long distances either.
So hold on. I don't seem to have that problem cuz I hold drift with R1 and can still feather thrusters with L1. Allowing me to jump and maintain my drift in the air. No accidental flipping for me. Am I still missing something??
Bro been stuck at Elite for like a week. Didn't even know you could tilt the car in air. I'm on mouse and keyboard so I just saw that it's bound to CTRL by default. Great help man.
any idea how it works ctrl is only tilting down for me edit: figured it out you gotta hold ctrl and s by default to tilt up and w to tilt down (i rebound to space and w for up and space and ctrl for down)
I can’t believe I almost reached elite without even knowing how to air tilt, I was so annoyed how I would get so ahead of the pack in all the maps but when at the end like conduit or Tri city I would become last place because I choked at the end.💀
I've tried searching for the content in this video a few times, and tried to earlier today, and have never found it. Now at the end of the day, I have randomly been recommended this video. UA-cam, why couldn't you have just given me this video when I wanted it?!
So glad you made this video! Thank you. I was the one who asked about your binds. Its helped so much. I was hard stuck d3 1%, but now I'm climbing much quicker, as I'm voting top 5 consistently. Currently 30%!
Im D3 and still going i was actually still dominating without learning any mechanics like chain drifting the reason i wanted to learn now is because I’m about to hit Elite and am seeing alot of people chain drifting so i just recommend from Bronze 1 to D2 is to learn the maps then focus on mechanics
Really well put together and informative. Reached Elite rank the very last week of season zero without meta knowledge, curious to see what the next season brings
Great video with great information. I would like to recommend putting a controller on your screen so we can see what buttons you pressing. I think it would make things easier for some people to understand.
I was stuck in elite for a day or so, been climbing the ranks fast with 0 competitive knowledge, and got roadblocked in champion, these tricks seem to answer most of my questions, gonna get back to my grind, thank you!
Thanks! You have a great way of explaining things. I am currently at champion rank, and recently started noticing people doing these little side flips to maintain their speed. Surprised to be discovering the answer to things that have long confused me about the racing controls. I thought my game was glitching at times, but I now realize there is more under my control than I had been aware of. I paused it after you finished Outpost, and tried the techniques you offered; I was able to get my fastest time there so far. I appreciate you giving advice step-by-step and throwing in those extra things that an expert might forget are not intuitive to others (like what you did to exit the drifts in quick succession to avoid the hazards at the end of Outpost). I’ve subscribed and look forward to seeing your other videos. Thank you
Thank you for breaking everything down, I did some of these tricks by accident without knowing how it really worked. Didn't know rocket racing was so deep till I saw the speed runs 😂
damn having that drift on a different button is tough! I did LB cause using my middle finger on the trigger feels weird but its starting to feel comfy. hit elite this morning and am getting wiped lately, thanks for the tips.
genuinely thank you so much, this is by far the most detailed explanation on how to do these mechanics and I'm spending all day doing this now, keep up the good content 💖
I know about that shortcut on tilted turnpike but I feel it’s not good u might get bumped before you get there or whatever and die or something and if u don’t die your missing a lot of drift
It’s good if you do it when holding a drift boost for when you land. Without that, alternatively you would probably just use a Button booster right after.
I think it's personal preference, there is a slight disadvantage to having it on L1 as you may have some slight stick drift with your thumb as you press L1. I come from Rocket League where I had boost bound to RB so it made sense for me. Also, my left hand has a hard enough time just steering.
"youre gonna snap it. boom. snap it. boom. and snap it." Doesn't fucking tell anyone what you're doing. Say the buttons and directions. not "snap it boom"
The best educational video on all of UA-cam. So long I not understood all the intricacies of this mechanic and now I was able to learn it all. Thanks to the author🎉
@BlairZED I hope so brother if not it's all my bad haha 🤙 btw you have a discord I could message you on by any chance? I'm a bit of a content creator aswell I might have some Banger video ideas we could do! Lemme know 🤙🙏
I managed to get used to all the techniques in two days, but I had no idea how to tilt and I always didn't understand how to do it, but now finally I understand how to.
Thanks for the tips once again! I'm late commenting this, haha. This helped me refresh my understanding on how to air drift, and using them on certain corners as shortcuts.
I’ve never found use of the brakes when you can pretty much slide around any turn without hitting the wall if timed correctly or even jump and use aerial dodge to flip towards that direction.
bro you just answered a big puzzle for me with the section on tilting, I was seeing people fly way further than I thought was possible and couldn't understand it.
That first trick is completely counter-intuitive and opposite of what physics would teach us 🤯
Yeah no bro the first trick is basic physics any pilot would agree. If you pull(pulling down) the nose of a projectile it goes up and if you push it goes down.
@@flowflips3172 not when the rockets for flight are on the underside. The rear rockets are when you are boosting. Just look at the car...
@@pattsw yes that just means the projectile is upside down
@flowflips3172 how old are you? What's your education level? Because you aren't making any sense, and I don't want to explain it to someone who couldn't comprehend it
@@pattsw its basic aviation it's pitch, yaw and roll

These tips are insanely good, literally has improved me instantly
Thanks, keep up the grind!
Just a fyi since schools back I wont be able to play as much but lemme know when the discord drops.
11:58 you can boost while still drifting out of that turn
Yeah for sure, that's the ideal spot.
Amzing video! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
I cant do the drift one, ive been trying to chain it and i cant. Im not able to slide left and right
can u tilt on kbm?
I'm in the place to change the settings but can't figure out how to change my air drift to RB. I'm a boomer tho so I've got that going for me.
When you are on the controller button assignment page scroll down to drift, change that to RB, keep air dodge on X. Now when you are drifting with RB you an hold RB and press A to jump and hold your drift.
I'm not sure why more ppl don't bind jump and air dodge to the same button. I bind both to X on ps controller. Much simpler imo
Tried it, but the ability to ensure that you instantly get the boost to come out by simply holding the X button is much more consistent for gaining height.
@@baggelissonic it’s because it’s a bad idea. You won’t be able to ‘steer while floating’ when tapping the X to sustain the jump booster and steer at the same time.

Exactly correct, on any gap you are going to try to float you would flip down instead.
@@BlairZED well shiet. Guess I'm the goof for thinking everyone else was dumb lol
So hold on. I don't seem to have that problem cuz I hold drift with R1 and can still feather thrusters with L1. Allowing me to jump and maintain my drift in the air. No accidental flipping for me. Am I still missing something??
I can't believe I have to come here because I'm cooked at elite
This is helpful, thank you! (Coming from an unreal player who has not experimented with air drifting)
Happy to help! I've seen you many times in game. Keep up the grind!
Good on showing the advanced mechanics of the game. If they add weekly maps this game mode mihht have some untapped potential.
Weekly maps would be fire!
Bro been stuck at Elite for like a week. Didn't even know you could tilt the car in air. I'm on mouse and keyboard so I just saw that it's bound to CTRL by default. Great help man.
No problem 👍Let's get it!

Incredibly long winded this could’ve been a 5 minute video
Your videos are very informative thank you, has helped me out a lot I’ve made it to platinum 3, gunning to get higher, please keep doing these videos.
So glad you made this video! Thank you.
I was the one who asked about your binds. Its helped so much. I was hard stuck d3 1%, but now I'm climbing much quicker, as I'm voting top 5 consistently.
Currently 30%!

I just reached elite like a week ago and this video makes me want to push to unreal now.
Awesome, get grinding!
Really well put together and informative. Reached Elite rank the very last week of season zero without meta knowledge, curious to see what the next season brings
Thank you!
I love boosting through that corner and in between the fire obstacles 9:42
im plat 1 50% rn, do u think i can reach unreal this season
Thank you so much. This is so helpful
nice vid, thank you bro, looking forward to the map specific stuff, sub from me
Thanks for the sub!
9:20, this is honestly such a helpful tip as well, should have its own "chapter: in the video/
I whole video on drifting just dropped, hope that satisfies as well.
Great video with great information. I would like to recommend putting a controller on your screen so we can see what buttons you pressing. I think it would make things easier for some people to understand.
Great suggestion!
When ur in the air is it better to flip to the ground as well? Less air time or does it loose speed
It's all situational, certain circumstances lead to different decisions. Yes, you do lose speed in the air.
I was stuck in elite for a day or so, been climbing the ranks fast with 0 competitive knowledge, and got roadblocked in champion, these tricks seem to answer most of my questions, gonna get back to my grind, thank you!
I’ve been watching your tips religiously. Working on going from elite to champion right now😎👍🏻
Thanks!

These helped so much just trying to get to diamond 3 to get the black oem cause I play rocket league thanks so much
Def deserve a sub from me 👍
I’m such an idiot idk how I’ve been playing in diamond without knowing about flying 😭
Love these videos! You earned a sub
Welcome aboard!
Nah im stuck in ailver 3 and i keep going down and its pissing me off cuz i want free skin
Is chain drifting for mnk only?
Nope, both inputs can chain drift.
so how are people jumping and air rolling and boosting further than any drift?
Wow i didnt think id learn anything new anymore but i didnt even know how to get out of ur drift fast, thanks
Just hit elite👏🏾👏🏾😃
I know about that shortcut on tilted turnpike but I feel it’s not good u might get bumped before you get there or whatever and die or something and if u don’t die your missing a lot of drift
It’s good if you do it when holding a drift boost for when you land. Without that, alternatively you would probably just use a Button booster right after.
Love ur stream bro keep. Making ur contents ❤
Appreciate it
just applied these and finished first with a 10 second gap
Unbinded the break cuz and repalced it with the thingy
I hold the drift button, and my car dosent drift boost....
I have default controller binds and can still air drift
This video thought me only one one thing: change your binds so you can air dodge while holding the drift button! (More easily).
Edit: the only other thing it taught me was tilting in the air (which I knew was possible but I never bothered trying to do it in my races).
Yeah thank you, I stuck at Diamond 2. But it's also not so easy with my square Nintendo Switch Controller haha
You can do it!
I feel like L1 is better than R1 but its all prefernce just feel like your right hand always has alot more bottons and controls no need to add anymore
I think it's personal preference, there is a slight disadvantage to having it on L1 as you may have some slight stick drift with your thumb as you press L1. I come from Rocket League where I had boost bound to RB so it made sense for me. Also, my left hand has a hard enough time just steering.
"youre gonna snap it. boom. snap it. boom. and snap it."
Doesn't fucking tell anyone what you're doing. Say the buttons and directions. not "snap it boom"
Once you are in the drift go left and press R1 simoultaniously to stop the drift faster
@@emanuelacola726 slam it. swing swing and zing the thing. kablowie.
i don’t understand the first one on keyboard, when i try to tilt my car up it’s also W so it just makes me speed up cause that is W aswell
In order to tilt up on keyboard you must hold crtl + s
When chain drifting I can't stay in the middle at all.
Man, your videos are a god sent.
There are a lot of RR videos but a lot of them are clickbaity with no actual substance.
I try to give the goods.
Ty bro the grind for all those painted OEMs are a pain but im keep trying (plat 2 rn ☠️)
You can do it!
How can you do tilting on keyboard and mouse
The best educational video on all of UA-cam. So long I not understood all the intricacies of this mechanic and now I was able to learn it all. Thanks to the author🎉
Great to hear!
Can you make this same video for keyboard and mouse please ?
I don't have any experience with KBM in Rocket Racing unfortunately. Hopefully some of what we talked about can transfer over.
Actually a guy that explains something finally 🙏highly appreciated brother 🤙
You're welcome! Hope it helps!
@BlairZED I hope so brother if not it's all my bad haha 🤙 btw you have a discord I could message you on by any chance? I'm a bit of a content creator aswell I might have some Banger video ideas we could do! Lemme know 🤙🙏
Check out one of my most recent videos or streams, the link to our discord is there, hit me up.
Great video
Thanks!
I managed to get used to all the techniques in two days, but I had no idea how to tilt and I always didn't understand how to do it, but now finally I understand how to.
Very nice!
How do i air tilt on pc? I try using my movement keys but it slows me down
Hold ctrl I believe while pushing s or w
underrated video
Appreciate that!
Thanks for the tips once again! I'm late commenting this, haha. This helped me refresh my understanding on how to air drift, and using them on certain corners as shortcuts.
Glad it's helped!
3:00 you using more boost going down then up.
Thanks for tipps dude ✌️keep up the good work it's always a pleasure too watch you driving. Peas ✌️✌️✌️
Thanks 👍
I like the mechanics i just hate how much map know-how you need
You'll get there, keep tuned it for more deep dives of the tracks.
Thanks man
You're welcome!
Literally stuck at 21% Diamond 3 for the past 10 games hasn’t gone up or down
That's sucks
Maybe if you add me I can help you. Only if you want.
7:03 Some people call this maneuver "surfing"
Ahh yes, I couldn't remember when I was recording.
Love it man great video! See you on the track Friday
Thank you
Welcome!
Please help.. I'm on PC and can't seem to figure out how to get the car to tilt up to go further.
i got the same issue, you ever figure it out?
figured it out you gotta hold ctrl and s by default to tilt up and w to tilt down (i rebound to space and w for up and space and ctrl for down)
You are definitely the master!
Been tryna figure out chain drifting since the game came out
I hope this helped!
Took some time off, but im about a quarter way through diamond 2, still going up but it slowed down a significant amount from Plat and lower lol
Thanks for the tips!
Can you please show a display of the buttons you press on the controller? It would make your vid more clear to the viewers...
Liked and Subbed, thanks for the info!
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for this video i'm always wondering what am I doing wrong
Could you add video chapters please
On it!
Comments absolutely on fire bro🎉
🙌
That was useful thanks man❤
Glad to hear that!
thanks bro ur insane
Glad I could help!
Might wanna fix that typo in the title
That's on me, good catch. Was sleeping haha
Changing the keybind to keep drifting in midair is life changing
None of this works wtf
Cuz ur ass
thanks rly helpful
Glad it helped
W tips. you're killing it with the vids man!
Thank you sir!
Such a good video
Appreciate that
Elite and beyond, here I come
do you ever use the break on lt ?
Can be useful on tight hairpins
I’ve never found use of the brakes when you can pretty much slide around any turn without hitting the wall if timed correctly or even jump and use aerial dodge to flip towards that direction.
I've never found a use for brake, I feel you slow down plenty if you release the throttle.
Thanks bro for the video
