thought I should bump this. I've been asking this question since this was first discovered, and of course still nobody tells me. *sigh* Obviously, there's no way you have 20 seconds on me out of just technique (especially since it's only 10 seconds difference on 280). Also, I've been karting for way longer than you, those times up there were gotten way back in the day when I had no competition--except for possibly my 101 time, which although it's not good by any means--it's not 20 seconds off like that, especially with tails's kart), and I bet somebody told you how to do it. Now before I have to assume that your (and everyone else around you) times here are completely fake, just tell me already, jeez. What's the deal with all the secrecy anyway? I know you fear me, but why is it that big of a deal? It just really frustrates me, when I beat everyone's times by that much; I tell everybody, and now it seems like everybody wants to whoard whatever strats they have to feel like, which of course just makes me doubt it even moreso.
