You should do testing with the testing-mod called Imperium. It even has teleport button where you can set magnet and fireexit locations with one click Sideboosting from the ground has major advantages because you don't need to line up you your wheels to be perfectly straight to not inherit any inertion from W boosting. You also have better vision. Another way of stopping you from inheriting inertia is Up-boosting before starting your W boost. while sideboosting you can skip this step. When you want to boost while already moving, to clear obstacles or enemies, you generally always want to make sure the car is even horizontally, then you want to Up-boost W-boost, then S boost or UP boost to break your fall and/or slow your momentum. 5 boosts allows you to do something like Up W W S Up or similar for a long jump, or just Up W S Up for a very small safe jump when doing the magnet to fire and fire to magnet jumps on art I find it much easier and safer to only use A D AW AS DW and DS jumps, no W or S jumps! You were not on even ground when starting the jump, to get on even ground just make sure you touch the wall!
