This is a flat comp, so if you've gone 60cm+ down something but not
just on flat ground then you are still eligible 🙂

Well, as it turns out, I've never measure my sidehope before so when I
was practicing for the comp I measured and I'm already past 60 cm >.<
But just go for it, the practice is good and you can still win

nope, unless your circumstances are like vanpaun's

is this from flat to flat? Btw, for those ppl that live in the USA, 60
cm is just a hair under 2 feet. You must mean hopping UP. Please
specify.

i think that 1 inch = 2,54cm!
So: 60cm = something about 23,6 inches!
I can't join this one... i'm in for a 90cm competition 😄

Rules are, if you have already jumped up something 60cm or more, you
cannot be in this competition, so all of you that are below 60cm, then
youre good.
I dont understand the flat to flat question. Im sure if you jumping
from something slanted to something else flanted, and as long as the
height from take off to landing is 60cm, you should be good.
But really its very simple, just go film yourself jumping up a 60cm
ledge, stack of pallets, stairs, or whatever measures up to 60cm.

Ok so then it *is* UP to something, not a side hop ACROSS from flat to
flat. I was only asking for clarification since "side hop" can mean
both across or up. When I hear the term side hop I usually think of
side to side; across, not JUMPING UP to something. I thought 2' across
seemed way to easy.

Oh right. Thanks for the clarification. I think I'm a little too new a
unicycling to enter this one. I dont think I've managed to hop onto
anything above the 2nd step of some standard sized stairs. So maybe
around 25-30cm. Lots of practicing to be done! Enjoy the comp.
