  1. What are your hop heights?

    Rolling - 20", 50 cm, 4 pallets
    Seat in - same
    Seat out - I'm working on at about 13"

  2. rolling hop- 20-25 inches
    seat in- 15-20 inches
    seat out- 20ish inches

    Somehow, I just today suddenly could do seat out really good. WEIRD!

  6. I personally think that rolling hops are considerably easier to get
    height out of. But I'm working on static hops, so hopefully I'll get
    much better at those too.
