  1. What is some good technical advice that would contribute to a "good"
    hop? Tech stuff like hand position/grip(sometimes people hold the side
    of the seat), seat height, seat out in front or center, forwards hop or
    sideways "crab" hop... whats all good? I know that somethings may be
    based on personal preference.

  2. for forwards rolling hop it always helps to run the tire at a pressure
    that will squish enough as to make a non-jolted landing

    if you look @ a video of someone doing a longer jump, they start off
    leaning forwards, jumping then landing crouched a little bit with the
    tire at about a 20* angle from the straight takeoff path.

    i think that any type of hopping you are going to do comes w/
    experience.
    learn good form and you should be fine 🙂
    good luck !!
    I have some videos in my gallery
    check those out

    ohh and one more thing
    this type of hopping is done seat-in

    i think thats what he meant
    sidehops are better for precision while rolling hops are better for
    gaps and height
    a rolling sidehop is the highest jump for most people
    while SIF(seat in fronf) is better for a few
