goals

I think I am the opposite of you. My hop has been around 20" for
probably a year. I used to hop si and I have learned sif and stuff and
my technique has gotten alot better but I still can't hop high for
anything. It would help if I had some pallets to practice with, I have
acused my small hops on the fact that the only thing I have to hop up
around me is benches at the park so I can hop up those benches really
well but I haven't progressed in forever. I think I will stick to
flatland/street😉 My rolling hops are pretty sad too, I think they are
around 20" also these days...🙁

Goals help, but sometimes you're just in the mood and get something
right, then you go ride more and just own everything you try. At least
that's how it works for me, anyway. I tend to get something down and
then get psyched, go do something even harder, and continue from there.

spencer- i dont even use pallets. is there any construction sites
around you?
there are stakcs of "stuff" everywhere. just find a
construction site and ride your heart out.

just get psyched, as fuego said and you will be able to exceed alot
more. its pritty much mental

I think its really beneficial to keep a mental record of your own
personal bests, as well as how good you are at certain skills like 1ft,
WW etc. Then when you go out and practice you can aim for something
small but achievable, like an extra 2" on your SIF height or something.
I find that small amounts of regular practice (like doing 10 revs of
1ft every day) do more for you than trying to mission a skill in an
hour and getting frustrated. My 1ft maneuverability has improved
considerably since I've been doing a couple of laps of the hall a week
every time I go to Circus Society, dodging in and out of diabloists and
poi spinners.

My current personal goals are pretty straightforward. 360 unispin, 90
unispin from tyre to cranks, 180 unispin tyre to tyre. Transition from
riding to WW to riding again. Backgrabs, no footers and eventually
crankflips. SIF hopping up to 50cm, rolling hop up to 70cm. Clearing a
9 set. 6ft static drop.

Loose.

ok, so it's not amazin', but I've decided to go for the goals set out
with those skill levels...

3 weeks into posessing my 24" dodger and i'm nailing this left foot
mount and i've been hoppin' all about the place😄

i know for most of you guys it probably seems so insignificant, but for
me, just to look at something, say you'll achieve it and get doing it
that day just feels so good.

to begin with my goals were just to ride into town or ride to this or
that place, but doing that is not enough anymore. I so can't wait until
i've got enough cash to get a trials or a muni and be able to do more
and more sick things.:p

i know i had that feeling with skate boarding begore, but that was a
while ago and getting it again just feels so -good-!!😄

ok, i guess that's enough for now🙄 - just roll on the next day
so I can get working on level 3(and hopefully get other personal goals
like places i wanna ride too)!!

Haha, koosh koosh is the easiest way to backward wheel walk, you have
one foot behind the frame and it sounds like "koosh koosh" when you do
it. If you have seen Defect its the thing that Sabin does after he 180s
that gap infront of the building.

Tear up some trails with my muni
