Wall Dash Tutorial: Complete Rocket League Guide

Wall dashes let you gain speed along the wall that's impossible to get otherwise. Once you learn this mechanic, you'll wonder how you played without it.

What is a Wall Dash?

A wall dash is a wave dash performed on the wall. You jump off the wall, dodge back into it, and gain a burst of speed without using much boost.

Why it matters:

How to Wall Dash (Step by Step)

Step 1: Drive Up the Wall

Get on the wall at a slight angle. You don't need to be going fast initially.

Step 2: Jump Off the Wall

Tap jump to push off the wall. Don't hold it - just a quick tap.

Step 3: Tilt Your Car

Immediately tilt your car so your wheels face the wall. This is the key part most people mess up.

Step 4: Dodge Into the Wall

Before your flip timer expires (1.5 seconds), dodge into the wall. Your wheels will catch the wall and you'll gain speed.

Step 5: Continue or Jump Off

After the dash, you can chain another dash, jump off for an aerial, or continue driving.

Common Mistakes

**Jumping too hard:** A light tap is enough. Jumping too hard pushes you too far from the wall.

**Not tilting enough:** If your wheels don't face the wall, you'll just flip weirdly and lose speed.

**Dodging too late:** You only have 1.5 seconds. Practice the timing.

**Wrong dodge direction:** Dodge toward the wall, not away from it.
