Hop Back
From WikiRaider
The Hop Back is very useful in the Tomb Raider Classic Games when lining up for a Running Jump. Lara will hop back almost one block-length, exactly the space Lara will need for a running jump. A hop back can be initiated by pressing the back button ("down" on the d-pad/keyboard).
By pressing back when on a Vehicle Lara might drive backwards (Snowmobile) or pull it back a bit (Motorbike).
Starting with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness and throughout the LAU and Reboot Games Lara will walk backwards instead of hopping when pressing the back button.
