  7. I hit a 35" ledge which is about 90cm, Its still a way off but I am
    getting there. I hadnt been out for about 3 weeks before then and I
    still have a bad ankle. I am riding more trials now so it should start
    to go up a bit faster I would hope.

    You're at a plateau. I know how annoying that is, I was stuck at sub
    70cm for a year and a half. I stopped due to school, came back and bam,
    nailing stuff over 85. I've now plateau'd again at 95cm. Just keep at
    it! I good trials rider does not meaning to have a good side hop at
    all. Look at KH (who is sub metre), and the technical stuff he can do.
    He is better IMO at trials than many big jumpers out there.

    Don't get discouraged.

    That was an excellent example of how to film your jumps, with a very
    detailed, close-up view of the measuring tape. Unfortunately one thing
    was missing, the stickage of the landing. The general rule we use for
    high and long jump is three revolutions or three seconds on the uni
    after making the jump, though this may need to be looked at a little
    differently for side hops/ledge jumps. If you don't have room to make
    three revolutions up there, you have to at least stay up there, on the
    unicycle, for three seconds after the jump to show control. The edit
    suggests that you didn't last the three seconds. Still, the height was
    awesome!

    No thats SIF sidehop, I dont know what I can hit rolling now, havnt
    done anything bigger than a 4 set for ages. Today I hit 82cm four times
    in a row, after that I was a bit knackered and fell. Also I hit some
    pallets static without a prehop that were around 75-80cm, did that
    loads of times.

    This should go in the brag thread shouldnt it :o

    Tomorrow I may set out some pallets at 90cm and see if I can make that.
    My ankle is still realy bad though, I have to ride with my heel on the
    pedal.

    I agree with what has been said though, being able to hop high is just
    one part of trials. Sure it looks cool and feels good to hit a masive
    ledge but its almost useles without the other aspects of trials.

    Too bad last night was a snow dump.

    Edit: But I think it counts. If it was a ledge, I would have made it.

    You would have made your way up to a 100cm ledge yeah. But you did 99.7
    over the bar, it's not 100cm so I guess it doesn't count.
