Mountspecial can be used as a slash command (/Mountspecial ) causing your mount and certain druid forms to perform a special stunt, depending on the mount.
For ground mounts and for flying mounts in no-fly zones, this animation can be generally triggered while standing and pressing the space bar, but for shapeshifted forms and flying mounts in flight-enabled zones, only the slash command can be used. Bikes animation 'Jumps on the spot' can be triggered while standing and pressing the space bar only, for exclusive bikes animation 'Double turn on the spot' for [Warlord's Deathwheel] and [Champion's Treadblade] can be triggered by the slash command only.
The function cannot be used while moving, and the slash command has been 'fixed' to only work while at altitude zero.

Note: though some animations imply the mount makes a noise - for example, "roars" - only a few make a noise.
Macro to make this command more readily usable[]
To make the command more "on the go", you can try making a macro like this:
/script UIErrorsFrame:UnregisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE"); /mountspecial /script UIErrorsFrame:RegisterEvent("UI_ERROR_MESSAGE");
and then mapping it to ctrl-space, which normally is unoccupied. Unhooking the errors is done so you don't get errors if you hit the buttons while moving.
