    Kotaku "reported" that you can continue your boost for a longer period when hopping. See this guy do it like a boss below.

    "Apparently, you lose speed faster when in contact with the ground, so jumping repeatedly at the end of a boost will keep you going slightly faster for a slightly longer time."
