Hopping high

obviously lots of quadricep, hamstring, abdominal and tricep muscle
exercises are good so get them powerful and you have good foundation,
Ryna Atkins world champion, is also one of the best wrestlers in high
schools in canada powerful as anything, even almost me lol
Joe Hodges and xav both tuck huge infront so they are quite flexible
and i asume must have quite good hamstring and abdominals to pull it up
so high infront.

Plyometrics is the exercise technique used by bike trialists and i am
trying it at the moment for my a level pe personal exercsise programme,
look it up on google theres loads of tips.

Also dont want to sound patronising but bear in mind your only 13 so
your body and muscles, and joints have not fully developed so sometimes
best to see how you develop and just keep doing trials the higher hops
will come with age and practice not just muscle its largely technique.

Hope that helped i feel really inteligent qwriting so much but its
probably all bull lol it shouldn't be

Just ride man. You are still young, Lucas is right, the more you ride,
the better your techneque will get, and as you get older your muscles
will develop naturally with your riding.

I try and ride for at least half an hour every day, and it is starting
to show. My max hop height has greatly improved over the last few
weeks.

Keep at it, you will improve and not even notice.

Rock on!
