Nice video!
However, the "Manta Hurricane Flight" officially seems to be forbidden on many servers.
Seems it is really a bug.
That means it's useless :(
Sad, but true :(

I always worried about this issue. I used to advise players on public not to use this bug if I saw them doing it, but now I gived up because everyone uses it and I'm not sure if it is really the bug. Here are some pros and cons about it:
PROS:
1) You can see manta flying in a way very similar to this in the beggining of one campaign video (
)
2) It is cool to use this special jump, like sova did...
CONS:
1) You were unable to do this with manta in ut2004
2) Manta gets quite a big advantage with this. For example fighting tank is much easier, because you just need to jump up somewhere where the tank does see you and "fly" high enought to land in back of the tank, then he has no chance...
3) In general the way you are keeping manta in air seems like a bug to me.
