4-4 Richter Zip Tutorial (by crismas)
Notes:
- A little informal of a video but it should explain the basics on how to perform the trick.
Variant: A variant of the zip was found by ppchan, allows to avoid the crushers at the end (and is about 0.8s faster)

Notes:
- pressing Right+jump (then holding right) at a specific spot works for all variants of the "camera drops" case.
4-4 Zip (rippa)
Preface: rippa zip (found by runner DCRippa) is about 5 sec faster than the Richter zip. It is considerably harder than the richter zip and is probably not a good idea to go for, as the pp zip is even faster and a lot easier to execute.
