When you think about it, don't skiers slalom like that to gain speed on slopes?

I believe skiers and snowboarders (i snowboard)slalom down straight slopes to have better balance, and to control you speed (not just going insanely fast if its steep). Hehe a pity snowboardning doesnt have sliding ;P

Okay, this "Dakou" technique or whatever you all call it....In my personal opinion, there is no way this "move" should be allowed in competition. I downloaded one of the movies linked in another post showing off someone "Dakou"ing on Big Blue. You actually want to CALL that RACING! The guy freaking wiggles his car left and right the entire race!!! You know what I think of that as? An EXPLOIT. To those using the "bouncing off walls" thing in relation to this, there is no relation. Hitting walls, in real life, will throw you at an equal and opposite angle with greater torque than you hit the wall at. However, I don't recall being able to increase the speed of my racer by wiggling the steering wheel this way and that.
What i'm saying is, there should, under no condition, be a reason to use this thing. Nintendo stated that it was a "fun easter egg". However, I don't think they took into account people that compete against each other on websites like this? I know that there is absolutely no way i'm going to use this thing, and if it is made legal in competition, then GX is yet another competetion I won't be entering myself into. There is no way I could stand three laps of staring at a car shaking it's arse at me, please.

its just a drifting technique for corners, on a track with many corners its not looking so stupid! because vou will hold it to one site much much longer then. (i.e. greenplant spiral) and wiggling as fast as possible is really not the fastest way to perform dakou, you need to use the whole wide of the track because if you hold to the site longer your speed increases more than if you do it just little moment. watch the mute city vid again, you will see that the guy is only changing the sites so fast on the very tight part of the track. on all others he changes not so often. its very difficult to find the fastest way though. you dont know anything about this technique, and also didnt play it, so how can you think of judging it.
it is a very useful drift technique for every turn in the entire game and i wont miss it.

I'm sorry that I don't have a modded Gamecube like the rest of you to play the game faster than everyone else. How do I judge it? It gives you faster times, allows you to beat the almost impossible staff ghosts at your own whim, destroys any competitive times that don't use it. I've been a F Zero player since the beginning in the SNES version, and I don't like this move one bit, that's why.

i can only repeat and repeat and repeat, that its not very useful on every track, or even damn hard to use it. if you would know cosmo terminal, thats a very tight track all the way without any barrier, it will be insanely if someone manage it to snake the whole 3 laps. but i am sure it will come one day. its not like a baby tachnique. perhaps for SOME staff ghost, thats right, but if everybody uses it, it will become a more interesting competition. and if dakou is the only useful technique for fast times, it will be very limited without, even boring.
