  1. Lately i've been riding down stairs a lot, and the interest to jump them
    has come up. Unfortunately i can't seem to jump at all. Anyone have any
    suggestions on how i can learn to jump just on flat ground while moving.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  2. Most people here will tell you to use the forum search feature (because
    there's been topics on this before) or go to http://www.unicycle.2ya.com
    and they should have some videos there.

    As for me, I'm new to this and I can hop up and over small things with
    static hops but I can't do rolling hops (yet!), so I can't give you any
    advice besides "just practice, you'll get it."

  3. learn to jump while stopped. then jump forward without rolling. then as
    you get better at jumping in general, jump while pedalling in what is
    known as a rolling hop.the second your feet get to the position you like
    to hop in, stop pedaling and forward hop. the second the tire hits the
    ground, pedal some more. takes a little bit to learn, not too bad
    though.

  4. If your REAL new to jumping(hopping,try holding on to a wall and hop in
    little bounces.It isnt that hard after you try.
