Ok, I've tried doing the JDT on the Championship circuit. I bump into the wall, hit the first dash plate at 90 degree but I still find my vehicle smashing into the wall (probably because there is a velocity component in that direction even though you are not pressing the accelerator). What other things am I supposed to be doing with the controls straight after I hit the wall?

Well after about 20-30 minutes of repeatidly bashing the electric barrier I decided to play the track without using the JDT and I took 0.73 seconds off my PR.

The video shows the player holding R from the first dash plate all the way until he is ready to straighten out. He also taps left on the pad a couple times, possibly by accident ... but also possibly a stabilizing maneuver.

I can't do the JDT per se, but the 1 or 2 times I have gotten it to work on the Champ track I was actually facing the opposite direction Fred Just does (I face the inside of the track he faces the outside).
But, as I said, I can't get the JDT to work consistently so you may want to disregard what I just posted.

I'll try too explain how I do it, but it's difficult because I don't think about it before I do it I just do instinctively.

Anyway. You have to take the corner before the boost plate very well so you're in complete control of the JV.

Next the hard bit. Hold R after the corner (I always hold L or R for every track) and then hold left and at the same time let go of A. If you timed it right you should of hit the wall and then the first boost plate and be at a 45 degree angle.

Now you should let go of left while still pressing R (I let go of left when I'm at that 45 degree angle I was talking about). Stay like that until you hit the second boost plate and then press left again so you're traveling at a 90 degree angle. Cross the line and correct the JV and continue your race. Easy! (Well, maybe not! )

Also, it seems mine and Tonio's strats differ. So I thought some of you would like to see my replay. I don't have the necessary equipment though.

So I have uploaded my save to a PC with a "flash advance" cable thingy and the save works with the Visual Boy Advance emulator. You can downloaded it here (it's not a rom or anything):

Just delete the above if you don't allow this.

The cable I used is a Flas2Advance, I only bought it so I could play NES games, but I never do.

Anyway, I'm not sure where to buy them from, but you can buy the cable without a flash card. Check here:

Yes Fred, you can make a video of it.
