Ehee, yeeeehaaaaw!
The Engineer

The Jumping Jack is a community-created special taunt for the Engineer.

When activated through the taunts menu, the Engineer pulls a jackhammer out of his tool pocket and rides on it. The player can freely move during the taunt with the directional keys, albeit slower than usual. While riding, the jackhammer makes a loud noise and creates a smoke trail as well as holes in the ground. When the player ends the taunt, the Engineer jumps off the jackhammer and puts it back in his tool pocket.

The Jumping Jack was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
