Tricking iT2
 

Just recently Cory Doctorow voiced his fondness of “Tricking iT2” [see below] by Team iT: “Even if you’re not a Quake player (I’m not, particularly, though I live with a retired member of the UK national Quake team) this is every bit as engrossing as any parkour video or Olympic demonstration sport.” Very well said, but, I am afraid, I have to mention that this is not simply a “20-minute video of a virtuoso Quake III player doing the most amazing “rocket-jump” acrobatics”. Rather it is the audiovisually most impressing tip of an iceberg—the latter being the culture of tricking, Q3A-tricking in particular. See snaking and strafe-jumping, piling up, infinite trajectory, appropriation by mastership, and speed runs
