Hi! I'm '''Cotni''', a {{age|2004|10|18}}-year-old Canadian CT creator. I've been trying to produce some great tracks whenever I manage to overcome procrastination. In practice, I don't tend to overcome procrastination.

Around the year 2010 was when a me, a 6-year-old, homeschooled boy, discovered that some people were making their own tracks for Mario Kart Wii, and I wanted in. I found this cool computer program called SketchUp some people were apparently using to do so and started playing with it.

Over time, I exceedingly slowly developed actual modeling ability, and eventually, I worked on a CT to the finish.

<br>I began Pipeline Skyway with a box that players would start in, but then wanted to use it as a cannon for some reason, and build a track with a cloud section similar to [[Volcanic Skyway II|Volcanic Skyway 3]], one of my favorite tracks at the time.
 
−
<br>I could not for the life of me understand how the aforementioned Volcanic Skyway 3 and other tracks like [[Thunder City]] had "banked turns" with such curvature that were created in SketchUp. I ended up "figuring it out"! Just make the two arcs for each side of a turning section of flat road, then manually move each point on the y-axis until the turn is adequately banked, and then make lines that connect the arcs into triangular segments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, my intelligence was lacking.
 
−
<br>But not lacking enough to not foresee the issue of Bean corners...After seeing the issue in other tracks, I figured out that ''lowering walls'' would help. But not that there's a script to do it or anything!!!! I did it manually!!!!!!!

<br>In spite of my intelligence levels being a mark of a true 9-year-old--yes, I was 9 back then; I would like to stress that--I stumbled my way through Wiiki tutorials, the user-unfriendliness of Wiimms SZS Tools, and came out with what, at the time, seemed like a relatively good first custom track.
 
−
<br>Some obvious flaws come out of my limited care for good track design. For example, the initial version of the track had a shortcut route that I to this day had never successfully used because it wasn't properly designed. It was replaced with one that had an extremely sharp corner ''even for the Mach Bike''. But whatever; it was a start.
