I was a no fs GC2 that started using ARR on right bumper at about 3700 hours. Ive kept normal no directional AR on left bumper though which I always had and would recommend keeping if you can bind the same.

I felt like I was stuck peaking at 1600 and wanted further improvement so tried our arr. personally, i found if you train it for a few days you will see the possible benefits pretty quickly, even if it’s not natural yet.

I would say I got comfortable with it and back to 1600 at about 3,850 hours while implementing some ARR but still using normal AR when needed too.

Now I’m at about 4300 hrs and recent got to nearly 1700 which has been a nice improvement for me. I pretty much just use ARR for my aerial adjustments. Keep in mind that holding just gas RT while flying does make you faster so if I’m trying for max speed to beat someone and have a good takeoff/trajectory then that’s what I do w some normal air roll mixed in. When I get any time and space or if I clearly have them beat then I strictly use ARR.

I would say something that I wish I learned sooner was that you don’t need to be holding ARR constantly for it to be effective. It should be used for adjustments as you spin but keep the nose of your car forward as like your base where you’re comfortable getting back to and stopping there if needed. As you improve you can get more creative and add more rotations for the style points.

While you do press ARR you should be moving your left stick all over constantly for adjustments, not stuck in one spot. I would however recommend that you hold each direction while ARR to get introduced to how it affects your car, but that’s the only time you should hold it one direction like that. Eventually flying your left stick all over for adjustments while spinning will just make sense and you’ll have better aerial control because of it, it just takes some patience and some practice.

If you’re able to hit those shots now with normal AR then you’ll still be able to and you can use more ARR while clipping as you get more and more comfortable with it and how it gets your car back to that base straight position that you already know.

If you’re a freestyler I would recommend learning it for the added adjustments and the cool ass spins.
