Post your best SRL WTF and WTH moments.
Was victory ripped from your grasp?
Did 2st cross the line 20 seconds before 2nd place despite being behind the whole race?
Let me set the scene for me own WTF moment
PIcture it, you are three gates from victory, not one obstical in the way, you are in a fierce battle with 2nd place to keep the lead and take the flag.
THREE flags to go, you hit the flag side by side with 2nd place.
TWO flags to go, 2nd place missed the flag and you pull ahead, certain in your victory
Almost at the last flag before the finish line...... no way 2nd can catch you if you hit that flag
2nd place tears past you as if you were going backwards, ignores the last flag and smashed the finish line almost a second ahead
Bug, Glitch, Exploit, Cheat?
Who knows, but bloody annoying!!!

I had many wtf moments but you guys pretty much described it all. A useful tip for those who smacks the ground hard and stop, bounce, or explode: if you equip the legendary race helmet that allows you to speed or slow your decent, it is useful to tilt back to mitigate your decent into a softer landing. Fast decent (tilting down) is great for places like right after the teleportal on Venus on the last stretch to the finish line. I usually use fast decent in all cases except the big launch chasm in Mars (otherwise would smack into the cliff side) or the the long drop on Venus w the floating walker tank platform.
