Ok, well I'll compete with anyone 40 and over since there doesn't seem
to be a wealth of 50+ riders doing really extreme stuff, like 8 sets
and 6' drops!

So, whatever extreme stuff you'd like to do, I'm in! Like the highest
hop *up* (straight to rubber) onto something, the longest (distance)
rolling hop, the biggest stair set, the highest drop, longest side hop
flat to flat, etc. Let's go BIG guys! And yeah, it would help if we all
document our stuff on video and post it here!😄

Oh. you want proof as in videos. I was hoping to entice you into
jumping the Grand Canyon just by telling you that I had done it.

Opting out. Instead of a senior competition, Terry, I nominate you to
start jumping in on all the different kiddle competitions going on, and
start accumulating some of those signature "trophies" on behalf of us
old guys everywhere.

Go get 'em, tiger.

Don't we! Go get 'em, Terry.

Haha well I don't know about that but I'm humbled by your faith in me
lol!😄 Can't do the crank flips and all that awesome artistic street
stuff, ala Z. Collos and those amazing riders. Not even close. But I
can shred some techy MUni and do some sizeable drops and stairsets.

And also a little extreme cokering. I might alsobe up for a climb
challenge on 24"'s, like who can get to the summit of a steep 5 miler
in the quickest time without dismounting. But for that, the youngins
would have a definite edge, so I'd go 35+ on that one.:p

we've seen your vids. I know I can't compete. I just started hopping and
it seems like I could hop forever but as soon as I try to hop on
something I fall apart. I'll be 49 in 2 months, maybe I will get the
hang of it by the time I am 50.

You need to find some young bucks to have a nice nudge in the right
direction. Hopping should come fairly quickly if you have someone to
show you the way.

Yah? Well, I couldn't hop to save my life.
Well, maybe if it was a real question of life or death I might try
harder and give it a better shot.

I wish I could hop. I wish I could hop. I wish I could hop. (Taps
red shoes three times.)

Nope.

Well do you favor left or right foot forward for hopping? I can only hop
left foot forward; if I try the right forward i can't hop more than a
couple times! So maybe try to find which foot you favor forward for
hopping, then just spend some time on that and nothing else. It will
get frustrating and monotonous, but that's how I learned.

Find a nice flat and smooth area and go for it but make sure your
saddle is not too high! You need to be able to bend at the knees a fair
amount. Also, too much air in the tire will make hopping almost
impposible! Let enough air out so the tire will compress enough to give
you some spring, but not so little that it will fold or bottom out on
the rim. Good luck and keep at it!
