  3. Well, yesterday I turned my recycle bin upside-down and got my biggest
    rolling hop! I was pretty psyched, about 15"... doesn't sound like
    much, but my highest before that was like 6" or something like that.
    I've been riding for about three and a half months, lol dunno how
    that'll help you...

    Well that depends how good you have gotten. I know people that have
    been riding about that long and can hop well over 30".

  5. Like Soylent products, hop hieght varies from person to person. I'm
    kind of lame; I've been riding for about 4 years and by biggest hop is
    only around 15-16".

  8. I had a poll a week or two ago; it showed that the vast majority of
    riders have a sidehop under 25". Then, very few people are from 26-30",
    and another (around 25%) from 30+ were many riders.

    I can only presume that once you have 26"+, going to 30+ is fast
    learning.

  10. I have been riding for about a year and 2 months and I have hopped 84cm
    onto a ledge (kinda lucky :p) and 70cm over a bar. Although, my
    official high jump over a bar is 65cm.

  13. Well, I've been uniing for 6 months but I could not hop on my old one
    because it didn't have a handle. I got my DX 3 weeks ago and I can side
    hop umm..... about 2.5 to 3 feet i think. I can hop about a foot and
    half high. I should really measure that.

    Ohhhhhh! up!
    That's about where I'm at too^^^^ probably a little less though. I've
    been injuring my hands a lot lately so I haven't had much of a chance
    to proactice hopping much.🙁
