  4. *1) *'This may help. ' (http://www.unicycling.net/learn/jump.htm)

    *2) *'and this.'
    (http://www.unicycling.org/unicycling/skills/hop5.html) 😄

    *3) *You can also do a bunny hop on a unicycle. In fact, it is probably
    easier to do on a unicycle then on a bicycle.

    To do a bunny hop on a unicycle, simply grab hold of the seat with one
    hand, time things so that the pedals are in a horizontal position when
    you jump, then leap upwards while pressing down on the pedals with your
    feet

    Bunny hopping can be a very useful (and fun) thing to do, whether you
    are doing some mountain unicycling or just riding around town.

    😄 Hoped this helped somewhat my fellow Aussie unicyclist friend. 😄

  7. Think pogo stick.

    Once you can can hop around forever, work on jump up curbs, and down
    curbs, and learn rolling hops. Then work on making your hops smooth.
    Instead of hopping 10 times before you jump up a curb, make it 5. Then
    make it 2 times, then get to the point where you get to the curb, and
    just rolling hop it, or just stop, and hop, and keep riding.

    You can also work getting two stairs at a time, or gaping further out,
    and crank/pedal grabs.

    If you hope really hard, it might help. Oh wait! You meant *hopping*!

  10. Hoping!? Hoping!? If you need help hoping there's something wrong...

    You have to have hope to learn hoping.

    But, to learn to HOP better, just hop up and down as many times as you
    can. Everytime you fall, get back on and do more.

    I started doing about 20 in a row, then got all the way up to about 100
    hops. By that time I had them down.
