KARTING HISTORY: Used to play MSK on the SNES, in my day was ~HOT~.. then whe n i got my N64 i picked up a copy because when i had visited my sister at her Un iversity i played multi player with three of her house mates for about 6 hours. I fell in love with it immediately. When i was in secondary school (high school) i found someone else who had the game in a similar social circle. We began to c ompete. Competing at first just on a level of sliding around the corners.. then the magical break through of MT's.. getting upto what is now known as semi-pro s tandard. I progressed more than he did so he lost interest, not sure about his p laying abilities now, i see him once in a while and mention i'm still playing an d he busts out laughing every time. Then i stopped playing for about two years.. only playing my N64 now and again for a bit of GP.. or even ISS. At the end of the last semester i started to play a bit more because more of my friends at uni versity had MK64. I spoke to Kevin and mentioned i would play and i would make a name for myself over the summer. Duri ng this summer (2001) i was working and didn't get the time to play.. since the start of term, i've been warming up, researching the game, strats etc.. and watc hing the mpegs.. improving my technique and mastering the SSMT. To where i am at now. My positions and times on the tables can only reflect that as i progress.
