I think it took couple (2?) years before bunnyhopping was discovered. We knew there is a lot of funny things happening with physics in the game but nobody put them together. We knew, that there is maximum forward and sidespeed but they way they add together is simple vector addition, so you could actually get higher maximum forward speed if you could point that vector forward. We knew it is possible to preserve momentum when turning in air. We abused this jumping outside of ledges and then turning and going back to where you came from. This was very useful on dm2 where there is a ledge, a pool of laval and a wall that divides the ledge. You are supposed to press a button to actuate a ramp on which you could cross the lava but you could also just jump and turn in air violating any physical intuition. The jump can be seen here https://youtu.be/VT-johLi75w?t=128 https://youtu.be/VT-johLi75w?t=128. This jump has a bunny hop component to it but it is not necessary.
