blisters, finertips I'v decided to turn in my first PR's.

he played for days to finally beat me old one. hehehehe

wow kyle we are REALLY close .007. thats less time than it take for
the tv to make a single frame. i also just started taping too.

Matthew Hofstad NTSC 60Hz.

BC: 2'23"959

kyle by the time u read this i will be hero D as i am goin to improve
yet again as soon as this post is sent out. :) (just hope ur not
already done)

Matthew Hofstad NTSC 60 Hz

BC: 2'23"755

BOOYYYAAA! my first Hero time and that should be a victory in my hero
race with kyle. he can still beat me for the flap tho. we were hella
close on that race the whole time. as close as .007 just recently

takin a short break on BC but will start up again soon for a hero d
flap.

Matthew Hofstad

BC: 47"344

i havent had much time lately. iv been workin during evenings and
folding and throwing papers at night, and now im started a second
job :P so my progress is prolly gonna slow drastically from now on.

Matthew Hofstad NTSC

WC: 2'07"970 1'03"743
BC: 2'23"313 46"872

well i managed to squeeze in a few hours between work and newspapers
last night and tonite and made a very nice improvemnt on WC by a few
seconds. i think my BC was also a very nice improvement as well. it
would have been better but my third lap was horrible. i PR on flap
2nd time around and was way ahead of my ghost with an extra shroom
since i switched from 1-1-0 to 0-1-1, but made really bad mistakes on
third lap. split 48"301-46"872-48"140(thats with a shroom). just need
to improve .014 to be 5th in usa. here i come tory waters

Matthew Hofstad

BP: 1'08"026

aint much but meh.

Matthew Hofstad

DDD: 1'39"928 30"869

well i was originally just tryin to improve my flap by using my two
shrooms on the first lap and taking the second SC and i PRed. well i
figured what the hey "lets see how close i can get to my ghost before
the end of the race" and i ended up beating it by .351 and i even
messed up a bit on the dunes on the thrid lap.

Matthew Hofstad

BP: 1'07"916

Matthew Hofstad

DDD: 1'38"801

decided to return for an even better 3lap considering how well i did
last time with a harder method. i tried to PR on DKM only to get so
pist and come soo close to breaking my last controller yet again. I
swear who ever created that stupid #@%%!@%%$Q%#@%$ shortcut needs to
have a gun placed against his temple while i pull the trigger and
watch his brains slowly drip down the wall. *twitch twitch* :)

Matthew Hofstad

BC: 2'23"108

OMIGOD im so close to hero c i can reach out my tongue and taste
it. :P well now that im 4th in america iv got my eyes set on u john
five. ur goin down. im second on the western coast. better watch out
prentice im comin on up. i will beat ur time teaching u to swoop on
that tournament money back in monterey.

hey that last BC time was me Matthew HOfstad btw. i forgot to put my
name down sorry. 2'23"801

alright first i forgot my name than the second time i think i messed
up my time (not sure but here it is one last time) BC: 2'23"108

BC: 2'23"029

booya i now have HC on the flap and 3lap! i had a wretched first lap
but my ghost wasnt too far ahead of me and it also had a below
average first lap so i kept goin and lucked out. woulda been sub
2'23"XXX if i hadnt missed the very last MT! o well. ur turn kyle
(wonder how close we'll be after ur next PR?)

Matthew Hofstad

DKM: 1'56"533 37"883
RR: 3'06"076 1'01"642

welli decided to give RR one more shot to improve again and succeeded
by about .7 seconds. i watched the replay than hit retry instead of
saving the ghost-_-. so needless to say i needed to beat THAT ghost
again before leaving the stage so that i could get a new ghost. took
a break and went to dkm I HATE HATE HATE the track wich should never
exist. took me 3 1/2 hours to PR and its not like my ghost is hard,
its just getting past that SC three times in a row EVIL >:(

Matthew Hofstad

RR: 3'08"071 1'02"322

yay

Matthew Hofstad

MCR: 1'33"091 30"462

man its been a few days since iv had the chance to sti down long
enough to PR between my two jobs. iv had time here and there but none
for long periods of time. well its tooke me like 4 hours to make
a .218 improvement to 1'33"091 and when i went to hit replay i hit
retry ><. i have to stop doin that. so before my ghost vanishes i had
to PR again so i could save it and made a .391 improvement making it
a total of .609 my hands hurt :(

Matthew Hofstad

well i convinced another friend to start time trialing and i think he
will be much more motivated than curtis was. i luv coaching the
beginners :). anyways here are his times.

well its been a week since i could improve on this and i only
improved by .022 ><. i played til 7 am last night then 2 hours today
and only came up with this. o well it still brought me back up to
29th after francois chu past me up. hey kyle still no PR?

Matthew Hofstad

LC: 1'19"982 26"073
PB: 1'12"588 23"273

well PB only took me one try to PR on the flap and 3 for the 3lap. i
went through a PRed once or twice more til i was satisfied and went
on to LC. took me awhile to PR but when i did it wasnt that great so
i decided to try again since i knew i could do ALOT better and after
2 horus of frustration finally barely improved by .032 but i was
tired and decided to call it a night.

Matthew Hofstad

BC: 2'22"885

TAKE THAT FRANCIOS CHU! finally i get a decent improvement (.122).
now i need to destroy leo gourmelen, the other guy that knocked me
back into 30th before. o and Koen ur only .006 away :) KYLE! you have
some catchin up to do dude! i need u there just trailin behind by one
position keepin me motivated.

Matthew Hofstad

YC: 1'48"990 35"272

well with bush almost completely have won by now i decided to take
out my aggression on poor lil yoshi and managed to get an
improvement. damn its been 5 days. i need to not have a life again.

Matthew Hofstad

finally iv got free time and i get 4 PR's in one night. its been
awhile since iv been able to send in multiple PR's. all three of
these flaps are 2 shroomers so thats prolly why.

:) i got my two pupils racing eachothers ghosts while i coach them.
ITS SOO CUTE! >< curtis is better than jonny but less determined to
improve. he is better with MTs but jonny is slightly better at
cornering and has much more determination to win. he just bought the
game recently and now has some improvements. these were all done in
the past two days...

well i just barely squeezed past my previous ghost by .017 but at
least the laps were more consistant. one werid thing i notcied on the
frame by frame while replaying my tape was,crossing the
finishline....it said 2'22"876 then dropped .008 the very next frame.
im confused. ill ask about it in the mb.

Matthew Hofstad

BC: 2'22"841

well i decided to give it another shot and improved by .027. trying
one more time tonite to get a decent improvement.

Matthew Hofstad

BC: 2'22"750

well thats my 3rd BC PR in one night improving .091! i thought i had
reached a wall in my improvement but then i realized that i wasnt
MTing the same as i used to before i started work, and i just focused
on cornering better. after i got back my old talent i was beating my
ghost almost all the time....just gotta learn not to crash near the
end ><

Matthew Hofstad

BP: 1'07"624 9"203

well i made quite a big 7lap improvement of nearly .3! my flap
however was only .002 my smallest improvement on anything EVER!
ironically it was still enough to bring me up 1 position...improve
another .002 and ill go up again lol. i tied one of my top five times
before PRing

Matthew Hofstad

DC: 1'43"458 33"99

well its been two months since i PRed on daisy cruiser so i thought i
might easily PR......-_- boy was i wrong. i could get ahead of my
ghost really easily and was usually 1.3 seconds ahead of it after the
first lap....but that evil fucking shortcut made it difficult to get
a clean run. so i decided to put the controller down before i broke
it once i PRed. i could do much better tomorrow but for now ill
settle for a 1.393 improvement.

Matthew Hofstad

DC: 33"999

sorry bout that...looked at my profile and notice a zero in there.
prolly wouldnt have noticed but i remembered that if i had been ANY
slower i would have only been EC. whats funny is before this PR, my
previous record was only .001 away from EC and now im .001 ahead of
it :)

Matthew Hofstad

BC: 2'22"550

BOOYA! was a pretty clean run. coulda been .3 better on the third lap
but hey i at least imroved exactly .2! i was .7 ahead of my ghost by
the third lap, but that ghost SWOOPS on that third lap majorly...its
second lap makes a .5 mistake tho so it balance itself out. well this
make me 25th and .035 from being 3rd in america. i can SEE u john
five.

Not nearly as many PR's as Jonathan Tibbets, my other apprentice, but
he needs to maintain the lead to keep jonny motivated to keep
playing. Ill try to get him to play more later but its hard to get
that busy guy to sit down for 5 min.
