Try jumping just before you hit a hill - if you make it over the crest in a single leap, you'll land on the other side and roll downward to gain extra speed!
At the top of the ramps, look for narrow stacks of crackers going out over the right and left edges of the track. Take the time to collect the strawberries and fruits on one of these; the Cookie Wall immediately ahead will stall the other players long enough for you to make up any lost time.
