Can someone explain this

Sometimes--maybe one time in 20--when my character jumps over something like her dog she appears to flap her arms and do a slow motion float. Now, I'd put this down to a graphics glitch, but if there is an NPC like a guard or one of the other mages in the Guild, they'll say, "How did you DO that?" So apparently it's something that's supposed to happen, but I have no idea what. I'm never using a spell or a shout, so I am completely confused.

Has anyone else had this happen, or know what's going on?

Is just a minor bug in the physics, making the game think your still airborn when your not.

As a Dragonborn, your skills and talents know no bounds. This includes being able to trip over your dog withough booting it across town in a hail of swear words.

woot... air swimmin... it's the swim/fall annimation. mine does it too... very frustrating in fights when they can hit me and I'm sorta, well... just hanging out.

I guess it's a lesson to all of those who do the spinning jumping thing that wowhead complained about for years, huh? LOL

I understand that it's a graphics glitch, but why do townspeople ask me how I did it? I mean they're so glitchy themselves you'd think they wouldn't notice...

I think it's an "easter egg" reference to the Matrix.
