DVM and the Port Town

Hey DVM, congratulations on your Port Town I and II records, they are outstanding. Since your pt2 record is a whole second lower than Leo, it seems nearly impossible. Would you mind telling me if you found another shortcut (besides the turbo jump), or anything you did in particular? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
Al
p.s. hey congrats on beating my silence time too, but don't worry, I'll be back, hehe.

Thanks ! Well I do PT slightly diferent from what I say in my strat .. I think it needs an update.
The big diference is that I do the shortcut jump without boosting first. If you go at 478kph it isn't that hard to get to the other side IF you hit the jump plate on the very right edge. If you hit it too much to the middle then you're dead  As usual, try to land as far left as you can and also be sure to make a 'bad' landing without holding down so you bounce even a little further before the pitlane ship shows up.
Press the boost button very rapidly when the pitlane ship is about to let you let go of you so you immediately shoot away. Now you will have to make good use of the brake to help you take the next three corners at boosted speeds and try and cut through the rails here as much as you can can.
The advantage to this is that all your boost-time is spent on the track instead of wasting it in the air and while being transported. Mind you, you'll have to be very good with your brake-timing before this method beomes faster. If you swerve wide in the corners you'll lose all the advantage but once you do it perfectly I find it makes your lap about 0.2 to 0.3 secs faster.
BTW, on PT2 it's also possible to get a double-bump start from the Golden Fox: after the first bump make a big swirve to the right into the energy zone and swirve back to the left just before hitting the rail. Now there's a good chance the Fox will hit you just after landing the first jump and you'll be at 478kph already after the second jump. Makes a 39"0 opener very possible. (29"25 NTSC )

Hey thanks I really appreciate it...It'll be hard to land the jump just perfectly without the turbo but eventually I'll learn.
Thanks again!
