I found this bug(?) yesterday while having some fun and messing around on my teams server DF - Lair of Love.

What i did was: I was standing on top of the Phoenix base on Winterlake, next to the sensor. Then all i did was pushing my ski button and slidet down the base and across the platform. Slided across the yellow thingy (sorry, my english sucks and i don't know how to name it, you'll see it in the video) and stopped skiing right before i hit the 2nd grey thingy (again, see brackets above :)).
As i hit the 'grey thingy' i started flying without pressing any buttons. I did it with all three amor classes, and two of my teammates were able to reproduce it, too. If you press any movement buttons you stop flying and fall down.
I was able to almost reach the other teams base once, but mostly you drop at the other side of the lake.

Ping to server was around 40ms.
My system specs are not important i guess because everyone can do it.

i know, its not a big thing, i thought i'd just let you know it is possible.

Edit: if this was known already i apologize.
