Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Alpine Ski Arcade 999,999 points

A round consist of a downhill ski course, a slalom course, and a ski jump.
On the slalom course, when you hit a flag you get -100 points.
If your score is low enough it is possible to go below 0, the game will display 999999 and less.

To do the trick, you need to get a low score on the downhill section.
In the TAS I pressed the button for only 1 frame to start going down, got no bonus points and didn't press the button all the way down.
I manage to get only 371 points, this is probably the lowest score you can get in this section.
By the way: I tested to see what is the highest score I could get by holding the button down, not releasing it even for 1 frame and not getting any bonus points, I got 8838 points.

I wanted to end the video with a 'game over' but you have to play too long to get it since you get 2:30 min for every 12000 points. Eventually the timer speeds up (see my other video) but it takes a long time and I didn't want to make a long video.
