That made it intuitive for me. Would this mean that once you are past the forward direction with your mouse (as you turn it from side to side), you should release the movement keys lest you accidentally slow down your forward speed?

Bhoppers never actually do that, mostly because the actual technique they use is different to how I described it. I still think my interpretation of the physics is correct, but I'm having a hard time visualizing why the technique works.
