For the first time, i've downloaded some ghosts for the speed runs. They are absolutely ridiculously fast. All they do is just jump, and do everything flawless.

So i was wondering are any of you guys in the top 10 for any races?
If so, pointers any one?

I have yet to download any but if what you say is true I can't wait to check them out.

Somehow i got into 8th position on Atrium one time trial (i was only trying to get a 3 star rating). Pointers? Look on youtube and follow it exactly. Also try to stay away from walls since little tiny cracks can slow you down (dont ask me how). Another thing is on nearly all the jumps coil to get higher so that you dont miss the jump.

My worst rank on a speedrun is 4th on the prologue (soon to change)

The best advice I can give is to practice. Other than that watch videos on youtube or follow people ghosts on time trials, and try to perfect your shortcuts. With enough practice anyone can get up there in the leaderboards.

Also, coil jumping makes you go faster.
And you can use the side jump boost, which makes you get up to full speed really fast. Side jump and turn towards the direction you jumped
