Max ''"Red Bull"'' Bout has always been one of the best and fastest [[Perfect Dark]] and [[GoldenEye]] [[PAL]]-players of the Netherlands. Through the years, ''Red Bull'' took several breaks, but more important, he also made several impressive comebacks.
== Joining the Elite ==
Max Bout joined the [[Perfect Dark Elite]] in the year of 2001. Impressed and stunned by the world record video's of [[Marshmallow]], who was ranked as "World Champion" back then, he shared his enthousiasm with some of his friends and decided to take his [[speedruns]] of [[Perfect Dark]] to a higher level.
== Getting to the top ==
Max Bout made the change to controller style [[1.2]] after he (and all other Elite-Players) were convinced that this style of playing would definately be a faster way to run. he improved his times, and entered the top 30. His peak was on the 24th rank in time ranking. He also received the "player of the Month" award in 2001.
== Banned ==
Soon after his peak, ''Red Bull'' was contacted by [[Jon Barber]], if he could show proof of his personal records in order to be believed that his records were true. After Max Bout found out that it was technically impossible for him to put a video or photo's online of his proof, he was banned from the [[Perfect Dark Elite]] on the day of january 2nd 2002 because of lacking proof. (also see the PD Elite Proof Section [http://www.geocities.com/pdarktimes/proof.html])
== 2002 - 2005 ==
''Red Bull'' never actually stopped playing after being banned from the [[Perfect Dark Elite]]. He continued playing for himself and for the fun. In Fact, he also climbed up in the [[GoldenEye]] ranking to the top 30. His love and dedication for impressive achievements on videogames not only resulted into [[GoldenEye]] and [[Perfect Dark]] records. Max Bout has also been very active and gained professional skills for games like [[Super Smash Brothers Melee]], the Legend of Zelda [http://www.zelda.com] series, Super Monkeybal 1 & 2 [http://www.klow.net/], Imperial Conflict [http://www.imperialconflict.com] and more.
== 2006 - The return ==
In the year of 2006, Max ''"Red Bull"'' Bout joined the [[Perfect Dark Elite]] again, this time with scrolling proof (a video in which you'll see an overview of all his Personal Records) [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ1JhTicH6s]]. Accepted by this proof, Red Bull joined the ranking again. He dropped from rank 24th to somewhere in the 50's in the time we was ''"inactive"'' according to the Elite, but after a couple of weeks playing, ''Red Bull'' has reached his old peak of the 24th rank again. On the PAL rankings [http://koti.mbnet.fi/darkotto/PAL/elite.htm] ''Red Bull'' is currently ranked 11th and he will continue delivering more impressive records and great video's in the very near future.
