Here is the original post by Skonekiller regarding the "Rynn Glide Glitch"
gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/451207-drakan-the-ancients-gates/57827913
It was actually originally called Barrel-Roll Magic-Glide, but I just call it the Rynn Glide Glitch for simplicity's sake. Though I could have just called it Magic Glide, but it might be late in the game at this point.

Here we will discuss the changes to be made to the upcoming episode 74 as well as moving our exploration of the palace to episode 75. I am still learning to master my video editing craft so hopefully my presentation will be improved overtime as I am learning the shortcomings of recording both voice and gameplay simultaneously in a tutorial setting. Hoping to apply this to episode 75 as I am already deep in the recording for episode 74. See you all is episode 74! Cheers!
