** Zuko's used it a couple of times, notably in "The Firebending Masters" when he ran along a wall to avoid a spike pit.
** Also, in one episode during the Ba Sing Se arc, the [[Fan Nickname|Gaang]] make a straight run toward the Earth King's Palace, using [[Elemental Powers|bending]] to clear some obstacles, namely the [[Mooks|palace guards]].
