'''Jim "Jimbo" Barrett''' (born March 17, 1988, in Green Bay, Wisconsin) is historically one of the most obnoxious, cocky gamers around the Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 forums. He immediately gained infamy at the start of his career due to his arrogance and claiming of obviously fake times, such as Caverns Agent 1:02 at age 13. After being banned from [[The Elite]] rankings in mid 2002, Jimbo cleaned up his act, and in July 2003 achieved Bunker 1 00A 1:09 (then tying a [[Bosshardt]]-set untied of 2 seconds), spawning the beginning of a rise in the rankings. In February 2004, he reached the podium of [[GoldenEye 007]] and held off challengers for one year. Jimbo is more motivated to play for world records in the summer months due to the summer contest, and lack of NFL Football. Jimbo continues to be an active member of the Goldeneye community. With the recent addition of [http://www.twitch.tv/goldenjimbo007 twitch.tv], Jimbo's channel has become one of the more popular streams to watch for Eliters.
