Second place sits at 50, and the next few are in the 40s. Clear 40 and you're near the top. Clear 50 and second place is yours. Everyone runs the same route this season, so it comes down to memory, not luck. Even if you start today, a few runs and the path starts to stick. When the season ends The top 3 go into the Hall of Fame . You'll find it as a tab on the Seasons screen. Next season gets a brand-new route, and everyone starts from zero.
