I think I was one of the first five to try it, and I landed it on my first try. I honestly don't know why it's seen as a special jump... first off, it's not hard to hit, and it's so slow that it has little use except against inexperienced or distracted players. There are much harder jumps... KS and I fooled around with a particular jump that I was the second to land. From a middle pad to the pad directly behind it (behind the V bumper), then back and back again. The first part is hard enough, only good jumpers can do it, the second part takes quick reaction, and the last part is a matter of landing on the arrow again and having high enough sensitivity to rotate the mouse again. I remember KS trying it, finally got it, then I was able to do it several times in a row. Quite proud of myself I was. The third step of the jump is quite useless except for showing off, but if you do the first two, it's very quick and awesome. Many of you who play me know that I do the middle rear to middle pad behind it as a first jump in a round, and I usually shoot a disc off of it. It happens so quickly many get fooled and diced. I love it. What's great is to also darkson stall right off of it too.
