New way of stunting: Grenade Boosting

[infested]

Unlike all other stunt methods, this one is performed OUTSIDE a vehicle. It is the extreme parkour of GTA: SA

Just like in Quake or Unreal Tournament, you can get a boost of things that explode. In GTA's case, it's a grenade.

Important note: The grenades and their explosions will NOT show in replays.

Tutorial

To do a high jump: Throw the grenade at lowest strength, and just walk towards it. When you are on it, jump as fast as you can. This will send you a good bit into the air. Because you jump before the grenade goes off, it will be a "controlled" jump, meaning you can hold on to ledges, and you will land on your feet.

To do an even higher jump: Same principe as the one mentioned above, except you plant the grenade lying next to a wall. Then stand next to the wall (face against wall) and jump as the grenade goes off. CJ will raise his arms above his head, giving you the ability to grab ledges even higher.

To do a diagonally directed jump: Throw the grenade at lowest strength, then wait a short while. Then start running into the grenade, and again, when you are on it, jump.

To do a pretty long jump in another impressive way: Same idea as the above mentioned, except you throw the grenade at lowest strength when by the ledge (you cannot be that high for this one) making it land on the ground under. Then jump, and hopefully the grenade will go off as you are just above it, working like a trampoline.

To make a turn whilst in midair: This takes some training too. It is a mix between the two above mentioned, low height, and the whole part about making the grenade explode beside you (in midair). Throw the grenade on a platform just below you, and jump so that you are beside the grenade. If done correctly, the grenade should go off when you are beside it, making the jump change direction.

To grab a ledge behind/over you: Throw a grenade so it lands in front of you. CJ should be standing under the ledge you want to grab with the grenade in front of him. Jump a slip second after the grenade goes off, so you get sent back first so you can then jump whilst in midair, going back in. This will take some serious practice.

To do an AirToss: Throw a grenade, and stand on it. Throw another grenade a split second after the grenade goes off to throw the second one while in the air, then boost it. This will take some practice to get the timing and aiming (for second grenade) good.

To jump higher using a Rhino[/u]: Place a Rhino so it´s back is placed just under a billboard or ledge, then throw a grenade so it is placed into the Rhino´s back. Run into the Rhino´s back, and jump. This will make CJ raise his arms above his head indicating a perfectly vertical jump. (This method in short, use the Rhino´s back as a wall).

Tips

Use this technique to make combos, like plant a bicycle on top of a building, grenadeboost onto the roof, get on the bicycle and perform a stunt.

Climb onto a big vehicle (like a packer) and start the boosting from there to get that extra height.

Make sure you aren't carrying around a parachute, since missing a target or doing a big leap with one will have lethal consequences.

Use god-mode if you are a PC-user, since it looks better than typing the Health/Armor/$250000 cheat over and over.

When you're on a surface that leans, it's smarter to throw the grenade sideways, so it doesn't bounce so far away when thrown. thx to kr3mlin for this advice

When grabbing a ledge behind/over you, you'll get better results is CJ´s direction is a bit sketchy, meaning, don't stand perfectly faced into what you want to grab, have like a 10* fault.

When you are faced with a leap too big to boost over, you can park a Beagle on the edge of one or both rooftops with their wings straight over the edge of the building/s. Thanks to kr3mlin for this find/tip

dloading, i thought this was old, or is that just the grenade flip whilst on a vehicle

[Barney]

soon we'll be strafing and rocket jumping haha

[infested]

Actually, I thought this was old too, since the method is pretty obvious. But after asking a few stunters, I was proven wrong.

[Xtramus]

Gotta do this in VC. Nice dude, cool pastime besides stunting. I'm gonna parkour a little bit in VC me thinks.

[ATenShun]

Sounds like trick jumping in fps games lol

[emtoo]

Hey, that's pretty cool I'm making a parkour vid right now

[ATenShun]

wow this is pretty fun once you get used to it I'll probably make a video that includes grenade boosts

[kr3mlin]

Cool idea and well explained as well man, im downloading your video and im gonna play around with this

Havent seen the vid yet but playing around with this ive already got some ownage jumps, pity about the SA replays

[Daniel]

I can't get them to work  

[infested]

Tutorial has been updated, I threw in a few tips to get out max of this technique.

Daniel: Watch the vid and see how it's done, then try again.

[Daniel]

A tip: Use the Remote control grenate  

[wite_gangsta]

can u press the detonator when u jump?

[infested]

Well, it works, but you cannot control it as good. To make it work, you will need to press the detonator and tap jump like a moron

[Master_Yayo]

*bump* (save the topic!) well, no the remote grenades don't work for the method infested does because you can't time it as well. I would like to introduce a new stunt method though!!!! It does use remote grenades! it is the grenade boosted bike airgrab. sounds odd? ok here's the explanation. you take the grenades and plant them on a BMX or MTB, run away, and detonate blowing the bike right at you; press get on like crazy to do a groundgrab. If you find a good spot to do it on a roof (like me) then you can grab it in the air and follow it off the building. If you want to check it out/get proof then check out my new stunt video the origins of stunting!!!FileFront Link!!!! I figured i'd post this in the grenade boosting section and not make a new topic
