frowned upon, hack, or jsut plain cheating?

[Colgate]

when i run, regardless of selo's speed or not, i lose too much height to get up there; i would have to start higher up in the air to make it. the person i fraps'd probably also has the same issue, which is why, i assume, they were doing it

however, i'm also unable to window drag to gain height with levitate on, so i'm fucked either way
