Shortcuts in Cruis'n Exotica

Freestyle Level "Shortcuts"

Korea: There is a wooden bridge/ramp you will jump over. After that is a left turn, more road that veers slightly left. Keep going a little further and you will see a single pillar that appears right in front of you where there's a sharper left turn. Continue driving to the right of the pillar and there will be a dirt road with a ramp at the end of it.

Atlantis: After the first "big drop" you will enter a tunnel. Drive a little inside and you will see some tall darker reef on the left side, which appears to be a bit see through. Drive through it (you won't spin out) and three will be a ramp at the end of it.

Sahara: Just after passing the first checkpoint, stay to the right! There will be a sand road with a ramp at the end.
Further on after the ramp with the helicopter directly above it, you will see some palace walls along the right side. Just after first seeing it stay to the left, there will be a road on the left hand side. 
This one is not hidden but will save you some time / put you on easier road without traffic: Shortly after the palace walls shortcut, you will hit a check point with an archway / road to the left side. Take this, it will save you from making an awkward rounded turn on the main road, and there is a ramp at the end of this road.

Hong Kong: The "secrets" exist here whenever you see the construction barricade (the black and yellow stands in the road with the 2 lights on top) Drive thru all of these when you see them, they usually have ramps at the end to boost off of. 

Alaska: When you enter the first blue ice tunnel, towards the last left turn there will be a wall of ice on the right that you can drive thru to avoid the sharp turn with a ramp at the end of it.

Las Vegas: After driving through the first tunnel, you will drive under 2 pyramids above the road. Shortly after the second one you will see blue water on both sides of the road. As soon as you see the water on the RIGHT side, drive over it to the right side. You will drive under a narrow opening below a building. One of the more difficult shortcuts to pull off consistently. 

India: After the first checkpoint, keep driving until you see giant white arches off to the left. Drive straight under it, you will end up on a dirt road and save some time instead of taking the round curves in the road. Ramp at the end of it.

Ireland: After driving through the first town, you will notice some shrines off to the side, with a dirt road.
Driving through it will launch you across the street out onto another straight, dirt road. As soon as you exit this dirt road, stay to the left. You'll see a brown sign to the left. Driving through this road will launch you out across the street onto another narrow dirt road, with 2 ramps on it. (You will pass a checkpoint at the end as well) 
Shortly after this - STAY TO THE LEFT! There is another dirt road that is not visible upon approach, with a ramp in the middle. Continuing along it will put you on another straight, dirt road. 

Holland: At the very start of the race, you will pass a windmill on your LEFT hand sign of the road. Instead of taking the next turn, stay straight and drive through the RED SIGN between the red flowers; it will lead you onto a straight road with a ramp at the end.
Not really a "shortcut" perse, but driving through the curvy town you will eventually come to a road that will allow you to continue on straight instead of following the curve. Take it to avoid traffic.
After exiting the 'town' you will eventually pass another checkpoint. You will pass a windmill on your LEFT HAND SIDE. Drive straight thru the grass to ci
Shortly after this, drive over the small ramp and stay to the left once more, you will notice another RED SIGN off to the left between the red flowers; it will lead you onto a straight road with a ramp at the end.

Amazon: Just after the very first right curve in the road, stay to the left where there is a straight path instead of taking the turn. 
There is also a similar path just to the left of the first checkpoint.

Tibet: After you pass the first checkpoint, you will drive over a ramp and then up a hill. At the top of the hill, stay to the left where there is a straightaway path partially hidden behind a rock. It will connect you to 2 other straightaway path and there's 2 ramps along this path.
After exiting this path drive along the road for a bit and you will drive up another hill with a similar setup. This time it's just one straightaway road.

Mars: At the start of the race, you will see a BIG brown rock on the left hand side. Just next to it on the right is a straightaway path that will drop you off back onto the main road.
Once you enter the the "blue road" section, stay to the left after passing the first checkpoint here. The traffic will go to the right but if you stay left it will put you on a straightaway path.
