You know, the odd thing is that although the sparrows look like they're hovering and are propelled by rockets/thrusters, in a lot of ways their actual driving dynamics behave like wheeled (or tracked) vehicles.

Try this: get a sparrow to pop straight up in the air, or spawn one as you're falling straight down. It's important to have little or no forward momentum, just be falling straight down. Now, hit the boost as you're falling, and keep holding it. You'll notice the sparrow doesn't actually start moving forward until it touches the ground.
