a 43 lap 1 is definitely possible with a turnskip this clean.
2025 is the year of 2:12.
With this BKS improvement, we now have objective evidence that a turn skip run can beat the very first glitch run set on MT: Troy's 2:12.283
44.121 / 44.078 / 44.078 = 2:12.277
Let's get to work.
Previous Best Known Split: 44.146 - Myself (with triple net, too)
I started testing the new input manipulator that MrBean35000vr and Chadderz have been working on due to the incoming hardware that allows people to send .rkg files through a controller port.
This run was set without it.

WE SAD BOIZ OUT HERE
NERVES STILL AFFECT THE GODS
45.344 / 45.017 / fail
This is the fastest pace I have ever had entering lap 3 on this track, ever. Lap 2 could have easily been a 44.7 or 44.8 with better SC and no bounce at the end. Its amazing what happens when I hit the chain wheelies.
I was racing my 2:15.793 ghost to get a better idea of the net pacing for 2:15 net, and unfortunately I choked the triple net lap 3 and failed to salvage the run. I didnt realize I was still ahead of Kisaragi so I threw the run away after failing triple net for the middle branch strat because I had no idea my lead was still that strong.
The other two ghosts were Kisaragis 2:16.073 and my recent 2:16.237 run (which was just absolutely average in every regard).
45.604 / 45.199 / 45.270 = 2:16.073 Kisaragi
This means I was 0.442 ahead of Kisaragi entering lap 3. OOF

Update: June 4, 2018
All I have to say is this link here:

(Look at all those low 2:16s in late May / early June)
I cant help that I work best with clutch catch-up lap 3s. This is my brand. I also seem to be really consistent with beating Kisaragi by very small fractions of a second. Its gotta be frustrating.
Some obvious flaws in this run:
no stick SCs 3/3
bad TAS Jak lap 2
bad u-turn lap 1 and 3
I set the run youre watching now at like 2:40am. It was the first time I began actually hitting the chain wheelies during that session.
The ghosts I chose to compare are a 2:16.075 and 2:16.083 I set days prior to this.
The 2:16.075 run was an easy 2:15 I choked because the dpad on my GCN controller is fickle and I had a delayed wheelie into the lap 3 net entrance. That or I suck at lines when it matters most.
The 2:16.083 run has 0/3 chains and 2/2 drops with a Zenel strat lap 1 (I think). Another 2:15 robbed by the wheelie button. Or, of course, I dont have the rhythm.
I will continue to push the NTS category until I feel like I cannot improve further. I really need to work on my u-turn and nets - this will unlock mid 2:15 runs for me, possibly even beating my current 2:15.639 turn skip run (which is insanely weak for a turn skip) if I dont salvage another improvement there before then. I hope to push turn skip to 2:14 by the end of the summer.
rMC will wait.

I hope to stream soon and more consistently but Ive been keeping busy with work so far this summer and streaming seems to tank my internet for everybody else in the house, so the opportunities are usually late at night when I need to be up early for work. Id rather sleep.

*more like 2.5/3, since lap 1 was a high or wide turn skip. I dont personally consider this a true 3/3 but on the books, its a 3/3.
While I had hoped my previous run would not last a full year, it did. While the rest of this game has advanced to levels never before seen with glitches on RR, KC, rBC, and others, MT turn skip continues to be a meme factory of errors. The big bounce lap 1, the wall clip lap 2 (didnt cost THAT much, just caused big air), and the missed miniturbo lap 3 (my signature move) + a few other minor errors most definitely cost the 2:13 in this run. I will persevere :) I stream at least weekly, sometimes more, mostly Saturday afternoons around 3-4PM CST. Home of everything Treeway (Benny glitch attempts too hehe).

Overall, the run had incredible driving that was held back by those rather significant errors! I think Ive adjusted my sights while not becoming complacent by aiming for a solid 2:12. Once I hit 2:13 with a 3/3, I plan to experiment a lot more with shroomless turnskip in runs. That 2:09 I said last March?? Yeah, that was pure hype. 2:11 is where Im drawing the line in the sand now.

Watch in 4K60!! The second REAL 3/3 (NOT FAKE).
The second true 3/3 turnskip run :) The Jak strats cost over 1 second combined... and my terrible final ramp landings... this is a certified 2:12 fail.
Steve Bernelli was my alias when I first joined the MKW players page back in 2012 so I could claim the WGM site record at 4th WW. Very cool, very epic. Its based on the Benelli shotgun found in Tom Clancys Rainbow Six for the Nintendo 64, and Steve because Minecraft. Oh yeah, very very epic.

One day, I swear, one day I will drive well and hit turn skips as clean as these. The journey towards 2:12 may come faster than anticipated, since this run proves all it takes is one day where I drive well. Ive been playing no-turn-skip more off-stream and it has considerably improved my consistency, so I am full steam ahead towards reclaiming everything Treeway.
My goals havent changed with this improvement since its still a 2:14, so heres what I said last time: I hope to take back the no-turn-skip BKT from Victor (go watch it here btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZVSZf6T78s) but my sights are largely on 2:13 for now. Ill also go for the glitch category again at some point after 2:13. I stream at least weekly, sometimes more, mostly Saturday afternoons around 3-4PM CST. Home of everything Treeway.

I started off again with a strong lap 1, however the final ramp was weak and lost a good 0.100s due to airtime and nosebad. The lap 1 turn skip was okay, with a frame 3-4 first hop and probably frame 1-2 second hop. Lap 2 turn skip was bad, with a frame 4 hop. I think if I hopped any later and I wouldnt have been able to salvage a drift. Lap 3 turn skip was the magnum opus of the run, with a frame 1 perfect hop and thus optimal momentum, perfectly demonstrated by comparing to the ghost. The Jak strats lap 2 and 3 lost about 1 second in time (arguably 0.8-0.9s), combined with the failed final ramp lap 3 and 3/3 bad landings, this is a 2:12 fail. I very well could jump straight over 2:13 into 2:12. It is no longer possible, objectively, to beat this run with just one turn skip. You must use at least two. Overall this run was driven magnificently everywhere else, only held back by my egregious mistakes noted above.

-edit- new flap, still not 23 :( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwKrbUAGL4U
Im so close to 23 :(
but yeah this shows why I avoid a wheelie into the low cannon - the low cannon is almost never low enough (and thats why my line goes so far left and it loses time because it takes slightly longer to even stop)
Ive been consistently ahead of my 1:58.144 PB as of late, hitting 46.4s and 46.3s lap 1 like theyre nothing, I really hope I can 1:57 before the new year and move on to goal #3 lol

Lap 3 was legendary for a double net, a 44.xxx lap is 100% possible here. Overall this run is yet another lap 3 comeback miracle type run, which I love. I was racing my turn skip time when I set this run, 2:15.708, so there were almost no nerves on lap 3.

Lap 3 U-Turn and full chain
Cons:

Lap 3 high last trick due to bad line

Original stream audio in the 2nd half of the video!
I am unbelievably happy with my session on Friday. Ended with two World Record runs within an hour and a half of each other both live on stream. While they may not have been large cuts in milliseconds, they were monumental for my continued efforts towards a 2:14 on this track. I wont stop until I get there, and plan to stream every attempt until it is so.
I try to stream at least weekly, mostly on Saturdays, at my twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/speed64demon
Overall my critiques with this run: of course, the missed mini-turbo lap 1. Lap 1 turn skip was high, making it about a net even with normal SC. Triple net was solid. Lap 2 wiggler entrance was a wide angle, turn skip was great (not enough horizontal momentum as Id like), and missing the triple net kinda stung. Lap 3 went beautifully and could have likely been a 44.x without my wheelie adjustment on the final ramp.

so yes, this can be seen as a WR improvement fail lol, this is why I want a strong turn skip run. As it sits right now, MT no-glitch is incredibly weak and any strategy can still WR, including non-turn skip.
