Errata:
Jason Hodach's name appears twice on each of the top100s pages.
Martin Brunet's name appears twice in dkmnonf.html and dkmnon.html.

The rest of the top100's look consistent.

I'll repeat a suggestion I made before, and call it a plea this time:

Please; set up a fixed date and time limit for submissions to each update. "No times posted after this limit will make it to the update, regardless of when the update is made". I think that will bring down the number of posts. At least it will have effect on me.

Quote from MKDD Players by MJ2: Everything's updated. I apologize for the delay. I don't have time to update the news right now. I will come back and write up in a few hours.

Mark, I think it's been already a couple of hours. Or should I say a couple of days.

First of all... I'm MJ1!!! Get it straight. I got my "MJ" initials before Jongerius so technically he is MJ2... hehe

And about the news update... ya... um... *runs*

No but seriously there should be an update tonight (Daneil S. are you able to email it to me?) and when I do the news for the new update I'll go back and do the news for the old update. Originally Chris Rayola was supposed to do the last update because I was gone for most of the weekend... but he had issues logging into the server and never wrote the update. So that's why there was no news. Chris actually ran the update and created all of hte files I just uploaded them for him.

Hope that clarifies.

*agrees*
I'd say, with so many people on the site, and mostly everyone's active, one time per update per person is a lot of work to keep up with.

Yeah, sorry about the update guys. I updated all the times, made all the new files but I wasn't able to log onto the server to finish the update. Lets hope that won't happen again. The updates should be coming along at a regular pace now....we hope....

ok, i'm new to these sort of web sites, well any web sites come to think of it. bin playing mkdd for a while now and thought i'd knocked up some cracking times on baby park, so i logged on to find out how far the opposition was behind me, only to find there 2 seconds ahead, "no way" i screamed, "must be using a cheat of some sort", so! how do you verify the times sent in, and if these times are genuine, what the f*%ck am i doing wrong, i'm using the train with the babies, i'm getting blues round the corners and one on every straight and i'm curbing it round every bend, best time 1;09:825. think i could get it to about 1:09:2ish if perfect on every lap but 1:07:???, no chance, interested in your reply if i get one coz i've no idea where i've sent this but if any one can help, email me direct, i'm all ears. cheers.

You just have to take the corners tighter than hell and do two MT's per straight. It's faster but a bit trickier. On each straight I do one left-facing MT and one right-facing one. For me a good non-shroom (mushroom) lap is about 9,6-9,7. My PR is 1'08"247 if I remember right and my fastest lap is 9"204 with two mushrooms off course. And the rest is just practice. I used to have a PR of 1'09, but once I did some work on the track and broke my PR. And BTW, I have still lots of work to do. MY PR run was far from perfect. It's just hard to get a good, solid run on that track.

cheers, ive tried the two mt's on onne straight but it doesnt seem to make me faster, quite the opposite, my best none shroom lap is about 9.8 9.9 but thats with only one mt on a straight. do i take the corners while blue and then let go as i come out of the corner or do i let go of the blue as i get to the corner, could do with some serious help to catch you young uns up. any other intricate tips will also help. cheers.

You should get blue before the corner. Your kart will turn more if the flames are blue. If you have trouble doing 2 SSMT's on a straight, you should stick to only one. You can get good times with only one. For eg. Finn Berger has clearly subbed 1'09 with only one MT per straight.

In cornering, it doesn't matter even if you bump on the walls a bit. It won't slow you down much unless you really get stuck to the sides. When coming out of a corner be sure you don't go wide on the track. When doing the SSMT try to get it quickly so you won't be dragged that much to the sides. My advice is to do a left-facing SSMT after coming out of the corner. Don't do it immediately after releasing the the corner MT. Wait a second or so before starting a new slide.

When going to the corner, I think the optimal place to start the slide is right about in the center of the track or maybe a bit right from the center. If you're too much right you won't be able to keep your cornering tight and if your too much left you'll be taking a longer path that slows you down.

There might be a vid of BP at http://www.david99.co.uk/ but the vids aren't working at the moment. And of course you just need practice. 1'09"825 isn't that bad but you can easily take maybe a second off. When your comfortable with your MT skills start learning to do 2 SSMT's per staraight. It is a bit faster but less than you might think. I actually don't like BP at all coz I think it's very boring.

And btw, an SSMT is just a normal MT done on a straight (Straight Stretch Mini Turbo)

Yeah, my one MT per straight time is 1'08"865, almost exactly a second faster than yours. And it's absolutely no masterpiece - the turns are far from perfect. So don't be too sad about it if you can't get two MTs. One may still get you under 1'08. And you'll sooner or later be able to do two MTs - and just think how fun that will be if you're already under 1'08 with only one!
    So if you're really sold on getting as fast as possible on this track - I certainly am not! - then I'd say go for sub 1'08 with one MT.

finn

PS. About the concept of SSMTs: I really don't find it meaningfull to talk about SSMTs on DD. As Tuomas says, they'rs just MTs done on a straight stretch. It's not like on MK64, where the SSMTs demand a special technique, and  thus deserve a name of their own.

cheers you two, ( the dude and the finn), my times just gone under 1 09. oh yes i'm a sub 1 niner. i stuck with the one ssmt but if i got the first really early and felt good with my positioning i banged another one in, plus the cornering tips were great, ive just sussed out hitting the corner and then letting old blue go, it doesnt half whip you back out on to the straight, anyway i'm going back to practice my ssmt straight after the speed start,(now theres a tricky one)  see ya on top of the leader board real soon (not).
