Shortcuts, hazards & pickups

The Mineshaft Stage Shortcut
Enter the timbered tunnel opening inside The Canyon to cut past the outer bend.

Through The Hills Stage Shortcut
Cut across the elevated hill ridge to bypass the main mid-stage curve.
Requires clean horse stamina management on the incline.
The Cave Stage Shortcut
Duck into the rock cavern passage to skip the winding outer trail.
High risk of Boku no Rhythm Pinbombs or In A Silent Way Sound Traps inside.
Boulders, Eagle, TNT, Landmine & Falling Trees Environmental Hazards
Watch ground markers for Landmines/TNT and overhead shadows for Boulders and The Eagle; press T immediately if dismounted.
Deals horse/player damage and forces dismounts; useful for completing the Take 50 Damage & Finish weekly quest.
Cow Carcass Route Speed Pickup
Ride directly over skeletal Cow Carcasses along the trail to trigger a burst of horse momentum.
Grants an immediate speed surge without consuming your one-time F boost.

Stage 1 lines that save places

Block the Mineshaft

Shooting the TNT Box at the Mineshaft entrance drops a boulder that closes the shortcut for riders behind you.

Ride the bridge

You can pass under The Bridge, but riding it is faster. One bullet snaps a plank, and shooting the rope drops the whole span.

Mind the mine field

Landmines around the Cactus Patch and bridge act like dynamite, so steer on the worn path.

Boost on the straight

Ride over a Cow Carcass on the downhill for balance, then spend your F boost on the 500 Yard Straightaway.
