This level has some real problems with checkpoints right now. It was a ton of fun to repeatedly pull off the ice slide momentum successfully but the checkpoints throw you in random places and are unforgiving.

The problem with the ice hat slide is that it isn't as consistent as no bonk slide, so having to repeat the course 4 jumps back can be brutal, especially when you'll have the groove down perfect and then lose it a moment later, over and over, on jumps you already conquered.

For example, in the rift section where you have to jump the cameras and hit the balloon, I was unable to practice it enough to actually make any progress toward acheiving that jump, because after 1 fail, you get thrown all the back to the start of the course (frustrating).

Also, in the practice yard before the rift, there is a strange slide with a v-shaped halfpipe under it that ideally slides you toward rift token above the practice yard. I think this part should have another tutorial sign (or even a hint), because I experimented for a long time and had no success getting anywhere other than sliding back and forth on the halfpipe (despite trying many combinations of maneouvers). I'd love to pull it off and know how to do it, but going into that blind isn't fun.

There also seems to be a secondary path of the rift course where a red arrow is pointing in a direction you can't travel via ice slide. Sometimes I would be randomly put in (what I think was) this area on what looked like a totally different course. It had a balloon toward the bottom of the slide that was very hard to hit because you're always jumping over it. I had no orientation of how I got to that part or where it was on the course, but worse is that the checkpoint would send me 2 jumps back (super annoying for practicing).
