i have no expericnce at writing guides but its one hopefully everyone here will participate in! ive started with the techniques and the courses im good at, a guide only for get excellent times (not for beating staff ghost, though u still could use this guide) we could combine all our knowledge and create great strats for all the courses for all new players at fzerocentral

Nice idea, but i think jimmy thai knows all that the rest of us know together, and more to it

I'd like to see David Van Moers guide updated with JKT:s tips and strats, but edited by DVM. Just a much better writer

Still of course, im not saying you shouldnt, it might turn out great

Great work! If you want some feedback, read on:

I think its a bit unclear for someone unfamiliar with sliding, when you first say
"1.) Max acceleration - for sliding only!
2.) Max speed - for jumping only!"

and then talk about mixing them, like when you talk about the PT2 video. I think you should explain that "jumping" is both a whole way of racing (close to max speed setting), but also something used sometimes when you use sliders.

Also, I reacted to you writing "probably never ever let go of acceleration during time trials". If I'm guessing right in that you are Mark Hua, you are better than me according to the ranking, but I still thought "tapping the accelerator" is a technique used at high levels. When I (at great speed typically) am at the right angle, but still dont have grip because coming out of a boostslide or a dive, i quickly let go of the accelerator and press it again.

Well correct me if this is not good at all, maybe my using it has been a total waste!

When it comes to your explanation of TDD, Im not quite following you . I only know how to do it on Silence, since you dont have to do much at all. Anyway, wich other tracks is this good for? DF3 and is that what JKT does on his sand ocean 2 vid?

I think its very good cause its written in a nice way , and lets hope we get some pros writing! Im to sucky at english (im from sweden) to contribute i guess .

anyway, do you plan on writing a guide for every track?

PS. I didnt mean DVM is a much better writer than you, I meant better than... eeehm someone else
