Capturing a flag in 30 seconds in Tribes: Ascend

I'm surprised I'm playing so much Tribes: Ascend. I preferred Team Fortress Classic for my flag-capturing thrills back in the day, but now I'm gliding across those gigantic Tribes maps faster than a skier with a Wile E. Coyote rocket strapped to his back.

Still, I could never move as fast as the guy in this video does. He uses just about every trick imaginable (including grenade explosions to increase his velocity) to zoom to the enemy base and back again in 30 seconds. No one had a chance of stopping him.

I've been playing it more than I expected. I like Tribes 2 a lot more but Ascend is free and it's something new. Not sure that video is too fast of a cap. Guess it's safer to take the long way but going up the middle is fast and easier. I've noticed hitting objects like rocks can propel you into the air nicely. I can't figure out disc jumping; maybe it's just not very useful in this game like it was in T2. Although I've done some capping, lately I've just been playing the soldier class and dueling a lot.
