− | Eise is credited with being the first person to bring the effectiveness of the [[1.2]] Control Style to the attention of the community.

− | Eise explained that he used "Turok style" controls, which meant 1.2 control style allowing for faster turning and no loss of speed. People were initially very sceptical, reluctant to try 1.2 because they had been playing [[1.1]] style from the beginning, with and without [[Cruise Control]], and the switch was too big for them. It wasnt until after [[SnapDragon]] proved 1.2 was faster and [[Bryan Bosshardt]] joined and began to dominate the rankings that many people felt the need to change to keep up. | + | Eise explained that he used "Turok style" controls, which meant 1.2 control style allowing for faster turning and no loss of speed.
