Going forwards or backwards to the beat and you can make an on the fly sort of remix.

is that a better way than cue points though?normally for edits i jump wildly around.although maybe its more intuitive and fun rather than pre meditated cues??i'll give it a go and see.

I don't think it's better, you just get a more spontaneous end result like that. You have to know the song fairly well so you don't cut into lyrics or something like that, but even then it might work. I think it's good to be comfortable doing it that way so if the crowds not feeling a song you can get to the end and what might be a better mix out point quicker.
