Does anyone have any tips on how to hop higher? I hop SIF

Try to touch your butt with the wheel every time you jump, just like
Tunkie said. If you watch others, you see that practically everyone
that jumps sif has the wheel relatively close to their body when they
jump. What i do is practice bringing the wheel up as high as i can on
flatland first to get a feel for it, then i use what i learned on
actual obstacles later. You feel stupid doing it on flatland, but it
helps!

Good luck!

Around 2 1/2 feet to rubber, and higher to pedal grab.

I jumped higher today than I ever have, its been forever, I got up my
first 3 set SIF and 4 set rolling 🙂
I have gotten up a 28" ledge ... thats my highest to rubber, i don't

being tall helps 😄 thats about the halfway point of my thigh (a little
higher), if you want to compare your jump height by size. All I do is
trials..I still gotta learn how to ride backwards -.-

oh, and i'm 6ft.1'

i think it is because I am compressing the tire

Yeah, thats exactly it. I had the same problem and gloves helped me
with it.

3 steps SIF? You should easily be able to do 4 with a 28" sidehop. U
should try it =)

stairs are hard to do because you have to go up AND over. not just up
it is a different technique

im not 100% sure about what I'm doing different, but suddenly my hand
hurts
i think it is because I am compressing the tire, the likes of which I
have never had an opportunity of doing because of the tires I had the
capability of riding, a trials tire really does help, but i think it
has to do more with teaching form than anything.

with me, I suddenly got down the technique well and my hop hight went
up.
I think at a certain point you just learn how to do it well and your
hops start to go up

naw, the 28" is rolling
i can't SIF for anything, i'm just learning to get higher because I
think that it is COMPLETELY poinless on a BMX tire as it has no
preload/bounce and it is really harder.

can anyone get higher SIF on an average BMX tire than rolling on the
same tire?
