To be honest, a few hours practice and you'll beat most of the players on gamecenter |

for those that have mastered track play, do you have any tips for those who have yet to master it.

Always concerve energy, don't waste it by doing stupid attacks. For example don't try and go full power from 500m in a Keirin. Don't do more than you need to, when leading out in a Keirin make sure your rider isn't losing energy. You can swing up or keep at the front and try to suprise them by going full power at a random point.
There are lots of different points really. Anything more specific?

I wouldn't say I've mastered it, but two beginner's tips:
1. In elimination, never stay on the inside. you'll get boxed in.
2. In keirin, conserving energy is crucial. stay on wheels at all times, but avoid being on the inside. that way, if someone moves outside, you can jump on them.
3. If you're ahead and you don't sprint, but go slowly enough to conserve energy and just sprint at 60 metres, since you have full energy, whoever is behind can't come around. you can surprise this way once or twice. beware. works both ways.

In elimination always stay on a wheel and dont attack EVER before 100 meters unless you are on someones wheel. In keirin stay on someones wheel until 200 unless you feel like being adventurous. If you are in the lead look back a lot.

I have accepted everyone who have applied (unfortunately, Ruben didn't apply  ) except for Boycie. I haven't ever played nor seen you on GameCenter, and as said, it'd be the best if we knew who our players were before accepting them |

one more hint on how to win. Practice and figure out what works best for you. I figured out all my techniques by practicing.

I applied aswell even though I haven't played with Crue. But I have played several games with guys from the team, so they can decide if I am ok for the team. If not I'll keep practicing and hope I will be good enough  |

I've played with Concuze numerous times. He isn't good enough, in fact he's useless, once he came 12th
He needs to practice very hard, I'd say it'd take him 3 months to get up to standard.
Seriously, he's pretty good, comes in the top 5 pretty often, but he isn't exactly active on PCM.Daily which is a downside

easiest way to win Keirin, Try your best first rnd. Then spot who the best player was from that race and kiss is wheel for the whole race, wait till the end then pop out and fly by 
I applied, but im not sure what i applied for. We can have teams?

I applied
I'm pretty decent at keirin, but I suck at sprint and elimination. I'll start playing online now, hope I can help our team to the top
In elimination, I'm willing to ride for someone else from our team so we get the points anyway I'll keep you up front |
