dont pull me out of the crowd when jon had the same thought as well.

John just made his point much better is all.
If I had the time to film it again, I would. although next time I'd
like to try for something a bit higher, as it was fairly consistent to
hop to 1m, but that ledge was not that easy to stay on. Next time it
will be a pallet stack (I was searching for a stack of pallets before I
found this wall, but nothing near my neighborhood so I settled for the
ledge.
It would probably be a better use or my time to practice 95cm+ over a
bar than a 1m onto.
Quite busy with my new job at the moment now tho.

Today I rode and found a 103 cm ledge. I warmed myself up with a 90 cm
roll hop (which is actually higher than all my previous records) and
went for the 103. I worked about an hour on it, but couldn't get it. We
filmed most of it, I'll post my attempts as soon as Émile send them to
me. I'm sure if I had a 1m ledge, I could get it...you'll see.

So my problem is not the height, I'm hopping high enough, sometimes too
high. But the thing is that I can't recover, I keep on falling
backward. Do you have any tips ? I tried riding faster, getter closer
or further from the ledge, but nothing worked...Do I just need more
practice ?

Thanks !

I thought you had done ledges well over 1m Hugo.

Sounds like your falling backwards because your pushing the wheel as
high as possible and most of your weight is behind. Pretty natural
really. Just get use to it and you will naturally overcome it.

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!

Lol I don't like saying things like this, but dont be DUMB.:p
This thread isnt going for any kind of official record, its just a bit
of fun.

As far as i know, these are the only rules.

Rules:
1. Can't have landed a 100cm hop before.
2. Must show measuring tape from bottom up.
3. Must be 100cm. Not 99.8cm.
4. 1st 2nd and 3rd get to have the following siggy tag.
5. Wait a bit for others to read this thread. (24hrs?)

...Pwnt😎

I think you should have to ride/hop out and show controll after the
jump. Who cares if you can make 1m if you fall off and lame yourself
straight after I dont think it counts. When I make a hop if I fall off
before I atempt my next hop/drop/gap it never feels like you make it so
I always go and do it again, even when its my highest hop ever.

Same here. If I land a high hop (for me) but fall off, im never happy
with it. I only count it as landed if I can ride out of it and step of
the uni naturally.

Pretty nice, I guess thats a side hop? Thats about the same as me these
days. I have been focusing mainly on more technical stuff recently. I
want to hit something 90 cm. maybe I will try today if it stays dry.
100cm looks way big still 🙁
