How To: Speedshots
A speedshot is when you barely tap the ground and skip off it giving you a huge speed boost. There are no real tutorials out there for this technique, so here are some tips our jumpers shared:
| Straight From the Jumper's Mouth: |

"A simple trick to speedshots to test when you should have shot, aka hindsight, if you try to speedshot and bounce straight up into the air it means your rocket hit the floor after you (You shot too late and hit the floor losing all speed when the rocket hit). The other end of the scale is what I described at the top, when you don't really go anywhere or do a tiny skip it means your rocket hit the floor before you and your vertical speed was able to plant you right into the floor. |

"Speedshots -- Fire a rocket the instant you hit the ground to propel yourself forward. The faster you're going, the further ahead of your feet you need to aim, so that the rocket explodes just slightly behind your feet (if you're travelling quickly you accomplish this by aiming about 45 degrees forwards of straight down)." |
