I second that. When i first started playing online i was getting pissed, i'd get a meager lead, get hit by a blue shell, lose and call foul.

Now i've got my bike skills down, am rated over 9000 and against most opponents, most of the time they are going to need more than 1-2 blue shells to stop me winning.

If i am racing against someone of similar skill, perhaps a single blue shell can make the difference, but if we really are of similar skill level then it's just as likely that he'll be the one to cop the blue shell/s in the next race and I'll win.
