Counter-strike 1.6 Jumps - Bunny hop, long jump, spawn jump, "matrix"...

^^ Matrix Jump.

One of the things that everyone remembers about the Matrix is the way Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) leapt into the air and did that incredible jump. Well, it's possible for an everyday-Joe to do the Matrix jump, even without wires. It's a little more challenging, but boy, is it cool.

Explained with text:

1. Start by learning to do a Matrix jump on a trampoline. The trampoline is a good platform for his kind of jump as it allows you a little more air time than if you were to jump from the ground.

2. Have someone nearby to spot you should you have an accident. The Matrix jump is a difficult jump to do, and unlike Carrie-Anne Moss, you're going to be doing this without the help of wires, and you won't have all those nifty pads she had to land on.

3. Jump as high into the air as you can manage, and try to form a triangle with your legs by bending your knees while touching the soles of your feet together. The trick is keeping your knees open to the side, just like toddlers do when they're beginning to walk, or cowboys who have spent far too many hours in the saddle.

4. Extend your arms up and to the sides. Carrie-Anne Moss held her arms like a ballet dancer when she did the Matrix jump: elbows slightly bent, palms down and fingers extended.

5. Kick one leg forward while you're still up in the air, and point your toe. Keep the other leg up with the knee bent as you do the Matrix jump.

6. Land on both feet when you finish doing the Matrix jump. As you'll discover, the success of the Matrix jump is timing: holding the triangle pose for as long as you can while still finding the right moment to kick out that leg while still landing on both feet when you finish the jump. The Matrix jump takes a lot of practice.

7. Try doing the Matrix jump on regular ground. You'll have to take into account the rigidity of the ground and the fact that it won't give as obligingly as trampoline when you jump on it. With enough practice, you'll be able to do the Matrix jump from any surface—even from inclines. But whatever you do, try to be sensible, and never forget you'll be doing the Matrix jump without the benefit of wires that'll catch you before you fall.
