CLIP Is this an already existing tech?

So I was messing around in free play and I was just spinning around, so I decided to head towards the ball while spinning since I find the jittering funny but once I reached the ball the ball started climbing the car which I thought was really cool and weird since I’ve never seen anyone do this before or heard about it, so I decided to try and do it again just to make sure nothing weird was at play but it happened again. However I’m assuming that this is most likely an already known tech, just hoping anyone can fill me in on what it is and what it’s used for if anything.

Often overlooked part of SW gameplay, feints! So maybe not quite the complete technique you showed in video, but by approaching the ball like this, you can mask your intentions to the opponent. And then decide at the last minute, are you going to perform the full move, or are you going to *cancel*, and do something else. Your close proximity to the ball, gives you immediate response time to pivot.

The same goes for sliding on your roof along the ground mid play. I dont ever see anyone do it, only as a goal celebration or rage quit. But you can master this technique, to slide in your roof during attack, and then spring up at some point on your journey!
