How do you maintain the speeds that the pros do in Mario-kart 8
I have downloaded a few world record time trial ghosts. In them (as expected) they take corners perfectly, execute shortcuts precisely and generally fly around the map ridiculously quickly.
But it seems that a key part of the strategy is to constantly jump and turn (even on straights). Whenever I have tried this it has resulted in me slowing down or turning off course.
What is the technique to doing this? How does this actually cause the karts to go so fast?

When you boost, touching the ground slows you down to normal speed pretty fast. Jumping helps you prolong the effect from the boosting, by slowing you down only when you touch the ground between jumps.

Answer 2
Just like in real life, the speed of your cart is detrimened by the amount of frictin you have. this means that on the ground you wiil be slower because, of course, friction on the ground is higher than in the air. therefore you should jump the f*ck up!! :)
