Its when you have someone hold you in place so that you slingshot forward like a rocket.

i'm guessing a liftie would hold you back and then let go of the "seat" rocketing you forward

yea they hold the seat back and release the pole onto the line so it's about 10 ft in front of you and you can't hold it back anymore, then they let go and you jump so it springs you forward and up. mad fun just don't get wrecked when you're thrown
