Hi there,
Siglemic covers nearly every real-time run trick on his channel info:
http://twitch.tv/siglemic
and the route guide with videos is here, it is slightly outdated though, he does not show inside the pyramide 'pillarless' in it and maybe some minor things I have not heard of:

Also check out
http://sm64.org/forum/viewforum.php?id=3 for questions.
And finally, I don't have a clue whether there is a good SM64 thread on SDA.
The
"idiot trick" you maybe meant consists of a first frame wall-kick (see above) [[and maybe a very hard to pull off jump dive, not sure at all]]. -> Forget about it. ;-) If you mean sth else: the idiot trick 'only' saves up to 5 sec, so the best alternative is to unlock the wing cap before doing this star. I know all this from Sig's commentary.
I guess that covers the most important part so I hope that helps. ;-)
Other topic:
Btw, I would like to know how the random number generator works (exactly) and what else causes problems for co-op TASes.
Greatings, Patrick.
