Hopping Tutorial?

Ilearned by just trying over and over, and I started with rolling hops.
Also, while we are on the subject of hops, does anyone have any tips
for higher hops. I can hop about a foot, but I want to go higher. Are
there any secrets, or is everyone going to tell me to practice more?

I tried to get to it from the other thread also. I won't be back to my
t1 connection until the 15th, and I can't get it to work on dial up. I
may have to go to my local library to watch it, which is okay because
that place is covered in trials lines. I love when public buildings
have trials lines!

Matt and I both leanred by doing rolling hops over sticks and stuff.
A good thing i did for stalling/statci hops, is go to a long street,
mount, pedal a bit, stop, do one static hop, roll out, keep going, then
stop, do 2, then roll out and keep going, then 3, then 4, etc. It
helped me a lot...my progress went from doing 4 on a good time, to 10
whenever I wanted to, then 50+...and as for which foot is in front, I
think it is just preference. I mount with my right foot, and my right
foot is in front
