He lets go a hair before the kick lands. The force throws him out, and the ship is just gone to his perspective.
"Yaaaaaaa-hoo-hoo-hoo-hooey!" The scream doesn't fade from Robbie's hearing, mostly because he's the one screaming. The wind whipping past his ears doesn't help.
He knows where he's supposed to land and aims for it. There's really no steering involved at this speed, and Robbie only uses the flight ring to boost his acceleration, keeping his body as streamlined as possible so the air resistance doesn't slow him down.
The ground is suddenly a hell of a lot closer, and there's no time left to appreciate that he is about to hit harder than ever before. He smashes shoulder-first into the courtyard, which ripples up around him in what seems like a massive explosion of dust and bubbles. It's hard to tell, because the force is already bouncing him off at a 45 degree angle - but he doesn't seem to be getting thrown clear of the mess.
