Try looking for shortcuts. There's probably one in there.

I did. I'm not that good at finding them though. You can make it into the Volcano looking thing straight from the jump before. That's like, all I found. Ask Matan.

I have found a shortcut which can cut your time to about sub-25 seconds. I'll hopefully get a video up some time tomorrow.

Phil, what's your best time. I got a super pathway that is credited to me and I found it first :P I'll post a video today though!

Oh, and won't your video be on YouTube or something like that?
05/28/2006 (3:19 am)
It's something like 22 seconds. I reckon I can get about 20 though. What's your best time, Matan?Oh, and won't your video be on YouTube or something like that?

It will be. my best time is 12.989 seconds. Dare you test me?

Ok, it won't be on today (the video) due to all 8 batteries for the camera are dead. Both the ones in the camera and the spare ones. We don't have any other batteries :(

I can't get past the fans at the beginning!

I need help, too, by the way. How on Earth do you get the gem next to the tornado???!!!! I can never get it, and I always fall off the level when I try.
Very ingenious and fun level otherwise!!

Bobby, to get past the fans, roll along the wall right underneath the fans. You should be able to pass them quite easily.I need help, too, by the way. How on Earth do you get the gem next to the tornado???!!!! I can never get it, and I always fall off the level when I try.

To get the gem near the tornado, get a little run-off then jump through the tornado and hope for the best. I mean, I sometimes have trouble on that part as well. Once I did a run-off and I went UNDERNEATH THE PLATFORM! That was funny.

I did that too :-) It's actually pretty easy to do. The nice thing is, of course, that you don't go OOB.

I found a very hard shortcut. You can super-speed around the big blocker. But, landing safely is very hard to do!

General Comments:
Skill Course 2 is the sequel to Skill Course - Download Here where the player has to pass through quick challenges in order to make it to the goal. Unlike the first, Skill Course 2 is not frustrating at all but also is easier, but perhaps that's why it's more fun to play. Skill Course 2 was well thought of and well created and deserves to be downloaded by everybody!
Personal Comment:
I really liked this level but I felt the qualify time was very high. Same for gold time. But it doesn't matter. I enjoyed this level and thought it was worth the time of downloading (1 second). I really recommend this level!
Stuck? Cannot get Gold Time? Here're some tips:
1) Who said that the high wall next to the super jump is impassable? Get the super jump go back, press W+A+Jump and then Activate the super jump. Just land on the tornado with the gem and that's it. Easy as.
2) I bet you didn't know, but you can actually make it with the super speed behind that wall! Take the super speed and go back, rotate camera to face next to the wall and go forwards, and super speed. Now jump and press W+A and you'll make it to the second super speed and then on the wall next to it and barely rebound back to where the super speed was. Now go back and take the gem and go back again and to the goal normally.
WORLD RECORD PATHWAY:
3) Start with a Special Fast Start to the left (W+A) but rotate the camera around 15 degrees, so you can still see the fans. Now pass the fans and before the slope, jump on the EDGE of the slope and jump again and you'll make it across the gap, the second slope and the second gap. Slow down quickly. Without stopping, press forwards and get the super speed and immediatly activate it. You'll be thrown straight at the super jump. Keep on pressing forwards, get the super jump and jump and press forwards and activate the super jump. Go W+A and rotate camera down and you'll pass very easily the wall. slow down and as you fall, press W+A VERY FAST and as you land in the middle of the tornado (with the gem), press W+A+Jump and you'll make it really high and ABOVE THE LOOP. If you hit the top of the loop, you can just press W+A or W+A+Jump! Keep on pressing W+A as you fly to the goal. Easy as!

Wow I found there's an OOB at the top! Watch out with your super jump! It can catch you (the OOB trigger)!

I just can't seem to find the OOB at the top!

It's the InBoundTrigger ;) That's what the caught me three times already while trying this trick out.
