Waiting as long as possible to trick (10th airtime frame) delays the vertical speed, reducing height. Delay tricks on the last frame are almost always fastest. However, in sections with long stretches of trickable road, delaying the trick fully may cause the next trick to occur on the first possible frame (3rd airtime frame), due to the 13 frame buffer; in this case, it's better to trick slightly early, so that the second trick can also be delayed.

It is possible to delay the trick further by leaving the trickable surface for 1 frame, landing for 1 frame, then going airborne again. In this case, the first airtime frame is a necessary condition for tricking; the grounded frame happens while the trickable timer is 1, thus only resets airtime; the first frame of the new airtime coincides trickable timer hitting 0. All conditions for tricking are satisfied, and the trick can be started anywhere between the 1st and 10th frame of the new airtime. This is ~~not~~ currently used ~~anywhere, but is possible~~ on [[~~GBA Bowser Castle 3~~]] ~~by touching a blue drivable rail for one~~ frame after ~~leaving a slow~~ ramp.
