We've got a out in the Burnout-Takes section today. It's showing drift jumping in Burnout 3: Takedown. The video is from February 2005 and it resurfaced today when I was having a look at some old Burnout-Takes on my computer. This technique was originally discovered by Xandu back in 2004. In the video you will see that I called it a "speed glitch" this is because that I didn't at that point know that it was actually "drift jumping" I was doing. I would guess that other players have discovered this later on as well.
