TIPS: Start to Stop

What are some tips for getting your player from stopped to full speed as quickly as possible? Even though Quake 4 is relatively new, if anyone has some demos or could make some, that would be beneficial.

10+ years of jumping.

Be facing 45-to-90 degrees away from the direction you want to travel in, then make a brief movement forwards, then forwards + sideways (on the keys). While doing this curve the mouse/your view into the direction you want to travel, and jump when you're maybe 10 degrees off target. By continuing to hold forwards + sideways, and gently curving the mouse the final 10 degrees, you'll have picked up a lot of forwards momentum and be in position to carry on strafe jumping.
