who gets HIGHER

You´re kidding right?

BMXs and Trials bikes can jump MUCH higher than unicycles.

Trials bikes can sidehop max.. around 57"
" " " " " " " " " " rolling hop to tyre around 60" and above.
" " " " " " " " " " front wheel hook 70"ish
" " " " " " " " " " " sidehop to pedal rather high.. 60" and higher..

BMXs can bunnyhop stupidly high too..

unis just can´t match it, i thought it´d be obvious... seeing as bikes
can go so much faster, and more of your power can be transferred
through a bike when jumping.

I agree totaly with sponge, just go on youtube, you'll see plenty of
bike trials vids, you really can't match the side hop of a trials bike,
even if you tuck the back wheel up under your bum on your uni.

Watch 'this' (

) movie and try
to tell me that a uni can get that high to rubber.

Ryan atkins' record(doing his very best) 98cm sidehop over a bar, Ryan
leech can get 101cm on any average day. And thats not to say that
atkins isnt an amazing rider...hes still me hero.

Thats cause bikes have the momentum factor. Mass = length x width .
There just isn't enough mass on a unicycle.
Yet it shouldn't deter people from trying 🙂

isn't it mass=weight/volume? length x width = area.

I agree of corse bike can roll hop higher as they travel faster,
but hopping up onto ledges they always front wheel hook so that would
be equiveled to a unicyclist doing a seat grap on the ledge 😉

by seat grab do you mean hooking your seat handle on a ledge?

if you can figure out a way to get to rubber from there, it would be
impressive, but it would look bad, and you still couldnt hop as high.
