I seem to have found a new strat in the part where you throw around the foot ball in the park with Mark. Maybe this is known already, but I'll post it anyway.

I figured out that is you stand very close to Mark when he throws the ball, you catch the ball instantly. This saves quite some time.

It seems to only work with Mark in the park, and not in other parts of the run where the foot ball is thrown around. Only in the park you can move more freely befor the ball is being thrown.

Hopefully this helps getting a faster time. The skip is shown in the run I submitted today.

Btw, If I am the first one to figure this one out. Clearly the name for the skip should be the MVD-skip. ;)
