phantom jump

(A Shockwave Racing specific term I'm coining.)
Abbreviated as PHJ.
A phantom jump is a "Jump charge" that is hidden due to how buggy the UI is in Shockwave Racing.
Usually, this happens due to the circles that indicate the jump charges being slow or delayed from server lag, thus causing a Phantom Jump.
You can get one via wall sliding (or QuickWalling, i'll coin that later.)
"Understanding how Phantom Jumps work is hard, but is very rewarding now that you aren't just blindly assuming you're a dead man when the HUD shows you have no jumps left."
