  1. Can anyone tell me who holds the world record for a high jump (on a
    unicycle obviously ๐Ÿ™‚ ) and and how high the jump (or hop) was? I want
    to break it ๐Ÿ™‚

    I couldn't find the information on the internet anywhere

    Thanks in advance, Chris

  2. If you're talking about side hops, you can start trying to beat 'this'
    (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=68106).

    Not sure it's the current "official" world record though.

  4. Joe Hodges latest video had him hitting 121cm. That's up to a ledge, not
    over a bar. As far as I know that's the highest done on video, I don't
    believe there is an official world record per se.

    EDIt: actually 121.5 cm, video 'here'

    hehe, not that great..I've only just learnt to jump decent(ish) heights
    in the last few days, but its definately the most fun thing on a
    unicycle i've discovered so far..

    I managed to jump onto a wall about 2ft high but fell off the other
    side sadly ๐Ÿ™

    Ah well

    How high can all of you lot jump/side hop?

    I made of vid of 52 cm, I jumped a wall higher than that a short while
    ago, mabey 58cm? I'm not amazingly good at high jump. I am freakishly
    good at bailing though.

    Hehe, The first time i did a jump of about 2 feet was when police
    pulled up briefly to watch me, I was pretty chuffed at that ๐Ÿ™‚

    They laughed and drove off though ๐Ÿ™

  14. Haha I think anyone who can do 85cm + is good. Like that takes some
    skill.

    I hope I can do 85cm someday.

  15. You're 13. When you're 16, you'll be insanely good, trust me. Just keep
    at it!
    I got into unicycling when I was 14, you have a head start.

    IMO,
    Depends on (in order of importance):

    -practice time
    -older rider to show you one on one
    -jumping genetics
    -tallness.
