Even though he is naturally very competitive, Michael is never selfish when it comes to sharing strategies, as he considers it important to improve the overall strength of times in the game, not just his own.  He often explains strategies to people through AIM (mjf345) or MSN (mjf345_at_hotmail_dot_com), and sometimes posts detailed strategies on the forum without even being asked.  In all 5 Karts he's played, he's had a very good history of providing plenty of video proof.
