Movement?

I've been playing quake 3 est 2010 but I still cannot get good speed during my circle/ strife jumps. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong because. I start my strife by rotating my mouse to 15 degrees (while using ws or wd) then before I hit the ground I move my mouse 45 degrees in the opposite direction. I can only get up to 500-520 ups while strife jumping. Circle jumping only gets me about 430ups. Any tips or videos? I'm a bit frustrated.

45 degrees is too much. The angle where you will accelerate is not always the same; it gets wider and wider as you pick up speed. There are some good tutorials on Youtube. Just use the search function. There were a few maps where you could practice strafe jumping, but I'm not sure if they've been updated to the new format. Turn on your speedomerter and watch it as you strafe. If your angle is too small, you won't accelerate much. If it's too wide, you won't accelerate at all.

So I just slightly keep turing into my strife then do the same in the opposite direction?

This video explains it pretty well. One of the better explanations I've seen, even if you have to pause it to read each part.

btw, I recommend loading maps as a duel using the console. Duel has the auto speed gain completely disabled, so it's the best mode for seeing how well you're doing. So it's devmap mapname duel in the console.
