Hi MKDS peeps,

I've decided to get full timessets for all Mario Karts, starting with MKDS.

Name: Karel van Duijvenboden

Location: Utrecht, the Netherlands

This was kind of a humbling experience for me; during my first play through of all the tracks I was usually ending up with times within the 500-600 region, wayin the back of the playingfield. I thought having considerable experience with other MKs (of course SMK, but also MKSC, MK64 and MKDD to a lesser extent) would help; well I can sum it up by sayingI basically have no idea how so many people got so good at this game. I have now spent exactly 1 sessionper course, never settling with times that contained clear crashes. All these runs are more or less clean, but there is obviously a long ways to go in terms of MT-speed and placement. If my calculations are correct I should land in the top-550 with my first submission, for what it's worth :P

Also, here are some vids of my early efforts (noob alert): http://www.youtube.com/user/KarelvanD#grid/user/30978185C64586D8
