i don't see why everyone finds this so hard i did it on my 3rd attempt this time round

u hav to actually beat 0 secs for the sigil, not get 0 secs exactly, i did that on my first playthru n broke my finger on the radiator

anyway hints and tips. you will need to have the first 5 or 6 balloons on the ramp down ur side so u can get them all. if u don't it is possible to do it but i makes it that much harder.

if u get hit by a bird it will actually add 5 secs to ur ascore cos the chocobo will stop for 2 secs. DON'T GO FOR A BALLOON UNLESS U R 100% SURE U WON'T HIT A BIRD IN THE PROCESS!!!

if the trainer is in front ofu, take the side that she hasn't. if she's behind u take the one with the most balloons (usualy the left) same applies for the 2nd part (but taking the right bath tends to be easier there)
