In 2007 "Red Bull" kept on improving himself, achieving PRs worth more than 85 points and tied World Records like Defection Agent 0:06 and The Duel PA 0:09. Because of PAL disadvantages, Red Bull decided to stop playing Perfect Dark temporarily until he owns the NTSC version of the game. In the meantime, a new Co-operation site was launched by [[Carathorn]], holding the best times of [[Co-op]]eration teams. This site was improved and updated by [[Mitrhil]] [http://elitebrasil.net/worldpdcoop/elite.htm]. Red Bull and Carathorn matched up and played Co-operation for some serious records.

From that point on, he has PR'ed most of the stages all over again and is currently ranked 19th in points and 15th in time. Not to forget that he is also planning to get some serious untied world records in the very near future.
