General Discussion / Re: How did you ultimately get into jumping?
« on: April 02, 2011, 01:32:58 AM »
I started TF2 in about July 2010, and I just found the Ausjump server 5 days after that. No one was on it so I decided just to download the map and have a go. It turned out to be jump_adventure, one of the easiest maps I can do flawless now. But when I started I sort of sucked. I could do the first 2 courses but couldnt do the rest.
Then this...'bad influence' called Rocky laughed at me and told me I sucked. He then told me to spec him and then proceeded to do the course while mocking me. Gotta admit, he was good, and he was my mentor for 2 days. And I proceeded to drink alcohol while watching him because it was entertaining at that time. I decided to give jumping a go under Rocky. I then knew how to walljump, pogo and strafe, which is all you need for adventure, seriously. So then I settled in the server and kept going, and now I'm a pretty good jumper, if I say so myself.
...I suck don't I.
