 ====Rocket jump with grenade====
-This is an advanced technique that is somewhat difficult to time correctly.  It involves priming --and holding-- a [[Grenade:Frag|frag grenade]], and then rocket jumping just before it explodes (about a half of a second or so).  The rocket jump will propel you at first, and then the hand-held grenade gives you an extra boost.  This technique is similar to the double [[Concjumping|Conc jump]], but is slightly easier to perform.  A major health hit is incurred by performing this maneuver, so it is not something that should be under normal circumstances.

 Some variations on this jump:
 * Jumping and firing the rocket at an angle while running backwards, to escape from pursuers.
-* Varying the timing of the jump and rocket to reduce the amount of damage done, when jumping smaller distances.
+* Varying the timing of the jump and rocket to reduce the amount of damage done, when jumping shorter heights.
 ===Advanced rocket jumps===
 ====Double rocket jump====
-This jump is performed by rocket jumping when directly next to a tall wall that you need to climb.  At the apex of the rocket jump (about as soon as the next rocket is loaded), fire another rocket at the wall just below you.  This will boost you up even further.  As an example, the double rocket jump can get you out of the pit on [[Map:ff_crossover|Crossover]].

 ==Notes on rocket jumping==
 Pyros can perform rocket jumps, but won't go as high.  Trick jumps like double rocket jump don't work because the rocket reload speed is too slow.
