time - 2 TAS tricks explained

I could just make a video but my skills on S1 are pretty bad anymore and a guide is much quicker and easier anyway.
Trick 1: platform before button
Ok this one is hell to pull off, what you have to do is do a jump into the water and you'll land somewhere by the platform you ride up, jump on the platform, then the INSTANT you touch the platform tap A as lightly as possible and hit the switch, if it worked you'll start riding up, saving 1-2 seconds.
Trick 2: "Jump through the Spikes" (for lack of a better name)
This one is really easy compared to the other one, while your riding the elvator I mentioned above, go to the right edge of it until sonic does his animation he does when he's about to fall off the edge of something, when the elevator stops you should kinda warp the spikes and be able to jump right up to the platform above you, saving an easy 2 seconds compared to jumping to the right platform then back left.
Caution note: Trick 2 is easy itself, but if you try to combine it with trick 1 it becomes harder, i've never pulled off both in one run due to laziness.
now go use these and don't come back until you have that magical sub 50 time! I got 0:49 only using trick 2 because I can almost never do trick 1, but if you do pull them both off you should get 0:47 at worst, maybe 0:45?
