Grats!
Never thought of that new route. Although you make several mistakes by falling down at the beginning, it's about equal to my mistakes of falling down near the end of my video. My only gripe with the video is that you spend too much time near the end since you were afraid of falling to your death and you didn't get the 2nd power up quick enough (although that solely depends on luck which sucks).
So if everything went into place (getting the powerups quicker and being a bit more aggressive at the danger zones) I think the time could be around 17:20 or maybe even 17:15. But overall this is still a kickass video and I enjoyed it alot.
As for verifying, me and Mike barely ever talk on MSN anymore so I'm not sure if he'll let me verify or not (he usually is the one who contacts me about verifying but he hasn't mentioned your LoD video to me) so I don't know the details on how to verify.
P.S. Now dethrone my other CV videos.
