This is awesome, I never knew this. What would happen if you did a 180 degree the other direction -- could you jump back up to the top of the supercharge ramp? And go again, thus gaining more height? Edit: Yes and no. You can indeed jump off the left side of the bridge to get back up to the top of the supercharge, and if you do it just right (and get that extra bit of air) then rather than landing on the flat area at the top of the supercharge, you can come down the side and land on the ramp, thus not canceling your supercharge. However, through these experiments it has become clear to me that supercharge speed is merely a consequence of what your current vertical position is, compared to what it was when you started the supercharge. So, subsequent passes on the supercharge ramp won't help, because they don't increase the height difference. The supercharge ramp simply allows you to start a supercharge, it's the decline in elevation which actually increases your speed.

Thanks for sharing these jumps, I always wondered if there was a way to get up on those buildings
