  1. What's the highest you've got onto a ledge? And highest you've seen any
    of your friends get? Metric and imperial if you're a nice person 🙂

    Try stay on topic... SIF - STATIC - NO PREHOPS

    Mine - 73cm (28.7 inches)

    - unicyclistjoe - 75cm (29.5 inches) <-- likely to be NZs best yet!

    I am new to trials though, not having figured out the timing on
    prehops, I do everything static.

  5. I think I've hit a ledge that was around 33 inches (83.8cm)...I don't
    think I've gone much over that static.

    Static just means not rolling, correct? Aren't they all static, prehop
    or not?

    I'm no good at timing prehops either. I can use them for pedal grabs
    but sidehop to rubber I usually just do it no prehop. Or rolling seat
    in.
    I haven't measured my highest, nor have I tried to go higher
    sidehoping.

    By "they" you mean S.I.F hops, right? Answer's no they're not all
    static. 🙂

    Doesn't static mean hopping in place, as in not rolling though?

  10. That's what I always thought, too, but apparently THESE guys don't count
    prehops as being static.
    Weirdos.

    Anyhoo, I suck at SIF hopping, my best being like 22".

  11. it makes sense to me. a static sidhop is jumping from a stillstand. The
    prehop adds lateral motement.

    Stop bein such a noob 😉

    I said "SIF - STATIC - NO PREHOPS" to be specific bout what I meant.

    If I'd only said "SIF - STATIC", it wouldn't be specific enough coz ppl
    might've also post how high they can jump with a prehop.

    If I'd just said "SIF - NO PREHOPS", it wouldn't be specific enough coz
    ppl might've also posted how high they can rolling s.i.f. hop.

    If I'd just said "STATIC - NO PREHOPS", it wouldn't be specific enough
    coz ppl might've still posted how high they can hop seat-in.
