The beauty of conc jumping is that you don't need Quake to do it!!! (get halflife instead, ehehe)
A conc is like a grenade but just dizzies you without damage. It has a blast radius like a gren or rocket, so jumping on one at the right time will propell you high in the air or far in the distance. The real skill came with timing them so you could do 2 jumps simultaneously, and there were people who could time 3 which is insane - I've done three vertically, but not over distance. The hard thing is that each one takes time to detonate like grens, so priming one and launching it and priming a second to coincide with your decent was very tricky, especially as your position to the gren at detonation determines which direction you go in - not to mention the fact that you've ------- dizzied yourself, thus sending your aim in all directions.
Theres a whole community for conc maps and rocket jump maps and I dont think Ive ever completed a single course without playing offline and dropping the gravity to zero.
Man I should start up a uni course on the art and physics of conc jumping.
