Springboards?
This is the first time I've had to ask a question here but I am at a loss. Is there a trick to getting thrown far/high enough on the springboards? I trigger them, but EVERY TIME I try and use them to...

@Takara07J You're welcome! Urgh, I remember a few were tricky.
I'll go on a little later (just got up, 6.30 am for me) to see if I can work out which you mean & if I can suggest anything 👍

@ToastedSarnieThanks so much for your help 🙂 I eventually just gave up earlier.. I managed to find an alternate route to the high ledge with the 10th audio log, but for the chest up in the tree at the bottom of the map, I couldn't figure it out. I saw a video where someone used super brains to just jump up there... but I couldn't figure out how to get him to jump that high. His Hyper Jump Thump doesn't even get me close.
- @Takara07J Well, I'm glad you got the audio log, at least! 😊
You may need to activate Brainz's hyper jump thump as you do a "normal" jump to get you that little bit higher or see if you can use the ability to get to a slightly higher area close to where you want to be, then wait for the ability to refresh & try from that point.
If that doesn't help, can you describe where it is (Camp-by-a-lake, Z-Tech etc) & anything close? I've had a little play around but I'm not 100% sure which chest you mean 😂@ToastedSarnieI tried to take a screenshot of it, but the file was too large to upload it here. Here's a video of all chests locations:

- @Takara07J That's great, thanks. Ok, so I tried getting to that chest again, three times with slightly different results...
Each time I used Soldier, who I personally found easiest for this sort of thing, and each time I hit the activated launch pad at a sprint.
First time I hit the pad at a very slight diagonal angle & only just made it onto the platform - I think if the angle had been ever so slightly greater, I'd have not quite had the height or length to make it.
Second time, the pad bugged out & didn't boost at all 😖
Third time I hit the pad perfectly straight & landed perfectly & easily next to the chest, so I'd say that's probably the key to it.
I don't think character should really make a difference, but if you try Soldier you may be able to use rocket jump mid-air to boost you the final bit if it looks like you're going to land short.
Really hope this helps 🤞
