    I am SOOOOO close to jumping a normal picnic table... i can get the
    height and get on then i just mess up and dont make it.. i will get it

  2. Picnic tables really vary in height, I have seen some that I could make
    it up SIF and others that I have to do a pedal grab rolling. But for
    the most part I just can't do them, I can pedal grab them very easily
    but getting straight to rubber is another story.

  3. I can't get up to the -table- part, but I can SIF or rolling hop onto a
    picnic table -bench-, and, from there, get onto the table.

  6. I sif hopped up a 30" table 3 times. Haven't done it since and my hops
    have gotten worse. I didn't vote because there is no "kinda" option😉

  8. once again, Mr. Law, jumping onto a picnic table will not trash it. How
    can a rubber surface (the tire) do damage to a wooden or concrete
    surface? I understand that you don't appreciate people jumping all
    around your property, but, seriously, lighten up. They're not defacing
    everything, spraying graffiti, or carving their names into walls or
    trees. We're trying to have fun, and there currently aren't any
    designated places where this type of fun can be had.

    Hopping on to a table with a uni does about as much damage as sitting
    on it. If the table breaks from jumping on it then it was unsafe anyway
    and the rider is being a good citizen by destroying potiential hazards
    that could injure people.🙄

    Along those lines, Making the hop, that cush off ruber, does about as
    much dammage as spilling salsa on it.

    Are there designated places for those other forms of fun that you
    mentioned? :p

    my pedals kind of damage wood when i do crank grab or if i fall and it
    cheaps a piece off if i fall.. but i cant even get to the bench to get
    onto the picnic table yet. im working at it though.

  15. I can pedal grab a picnic table, and seeing how I have a grindplate on,
    I have never scratched a table, ever.

    I havent worked on rolling hops all that much, but hopefully I can go
    straight up onto tables soon.

  17. Yeah I can do rolling or S.I.F about the same, about 70cm... maybe a bit
    higher if I'm feeling lucky. I'm with you Mike, prehops are weird.

  18. I do prehops but not the right way, it adds no spring to my hop, its
    just like a motion I go through to make it more comfortable.

  20. Not doing prehops, that's weird... I still need to work on my static
    hops, my static hop is like 60cm (23"😉 , and my prehopped hop is around
    90cm (35"😉. Oh well. To answer the question, yeah, I can. I think a
    more fair measure would be a pingpong table, seeing as those are all
    around 75cm.
