Nice vids.....insain times; had black bars at the bottom of the screen on both of 'em though.

it's not his PR, his PR is under 2'02

lol I do the same strat, I have 2'04'5 and I had 2'09 with the strat, it's weirder...

It's cuz he has a better attitude

I just uploaded 2 new videos, and I'll try to make a few more tomorrow, so hopefully this will be enough to exempt me from the next proof call.  Unfortunately I wasn't careful enough when I placed the digital camera on the table , so the timer got cut off, but I remembered what the approximate times were.  One vid is a 30.8xx first lap 1-shroomer in DDD (my fastest is 30.7xx), and the other vid is a 26.4xx first lap 0-shroomer in LC (my fastest is 26.3xx).  Since geocities sucks and they don't give enough bandwidth, try to avoid downloading these vids unless you're either a proof moderator or a very highly ranked player who's willing to give me advice on how to improve my times.  Here's the link to the page:

Edit: Btw, the MuC vid on that page is really old, from back in the good old days when I had the flap WR, but now I can go a few tenths faster than that.

Oh yeah, you're right, he plays 50 hz but at least he shows vids, the problem is some guys who play 50 hz and never had shown any vid.

Yeah, it's not the camera, he moves the camera all the time, or the has put something to hide the speedometer, or he has a problem (like his game) in the TV or VCR.

new vids of the japs are available. MB, DC and WS sc.

The WS strat is a bit weird lol. And the DC shroomspot too . We need some DC Titan to explain

The DC vid was cut for me at the end, so I couldn't see their best lap. I don't think that shroom spot is very good at all.

For WS they got VERY lucky I think. That shortcut going left of the oil slick without a mushroom is faster, but it's very difficult to do, and they did it two laps in a row. They must have played this course for a month non stop

For MB they were very consistent. But keep in mind that John Anderson has done a 27'09 first lap (the vid had 27'39) and also a 26'49 no shroom (the vid had 26'41 and '47 1-shrooms).

I agree, I can do sc in 1'35 now, And my first lap is faster than theirs. I don't think it's any faster taking the sc that way.....easier though when you get used of it.
