'''Thomas Bolton''' is the current world champion in [[Mario Kart DS]], an active forum poster (going by the name "TB1", as well as other nicknames such as TiBiUan, たべい・１, Tea Bee One, etc.), a member of the French MKDS site, and a big contributor of videos.
'''Dexter''' is the current Non-PRB champion of [[Mario Kart DS]], an active forum poster (going by the name "TB1", as well as other nicknames such as TiBiUan, たべい・１, Tea Bee One, etc.), a member of the French MKDS site, and a big contributor of videos.
Thomas joined the MKDS Players' Page at the end of May 2006. He had already been playing for a while and had been competing on the French site, so he was already good enough to join the Players' Page with a rank of 5th. For about 2 weeks he improved slowly, but then he suddenly shot straight from 5th to 1st to claim the world champion title in around only 3 days, thanks to a last PR on RYC FLAP. This sudden extremely fast improvement probably happened because that was exactly when Thomas started praying to the [[kart gods]]. There were then different events that happened to build Thomas's big MKDS history.

After this major event, Thomas kept improving and constantly defended his favorite WRs, such as the DKP or the RCI2 ones. Moreover, he never stopped getting better on his worst tracks, to be able to take more and more WRs; this allowed him to become, for a few days, the Mario Kart champion with the best AF, overcoming legends such as Michael Jongerius and Karel van Duijvenboden! Thomas is currently holding 45 MKDS world records, with an AF barely standing above the 2.00 barrier; however, if he were to improve his worst times, like the Rainbow Road ones (where he stands out of top 20!), there is no doubt he could get much closer to an AF score of 1.00.

He was passed by [[Abel Marques]] on the PRB charts in early July of 2010.
Thomas is also one of the best providers of videos, and is always willing to share his strategies with people. His YouTube account allows players from anywhere in the world to look at his videos and improve as they watch them.
