For those interested the link below does a great job of demonstrating strafe jumping, which is similar to bunnyhopping.

This is great example of how an accident can contribute towards such a fun mechanic into a game. This ultimately ended up spawning new game types where a mastery of movement was a key skill.

I spent hundreds of hours over a decade ago playing jump challenges in Q2 mods that were just there to hone movement skills and help experts keep an eye out for errant pixels in the map that could be used to help you get to amazing places on the maps.

Jumps like these on action quake: https://youtu.be/8Za4g8mKBcA

Took dozens of hours of practice to accomplish without taking fall damage (which was crippling in this mod).
