    PREHOP, whatever gives you the hopping, must be SI static though. Prehop
    or not, do what you want for that.

    No touching the bar then. Just, you need to clear over it.

    What are you saying? If you prehop is not static!!!

    Agreed, a static hop is a hop without prehop, it's done from a complete
    stilstand.

  4. Yeah, I want to see it too. Ive been hearing you talk a lot about 27".
    Probably for a few months now, and now 30"+ range.

    Seriously though, filming isnt hard, even if its wet, your not jumping
    onto anything, and im sure you have metal pinned pedals, so the rain
    isnt going to stop you from jumping. Its not like its a skinny ride
    comp or something, but knowing me, id still go out and try it. Sorry
    for the rant, but I think rain is a poor excuse 90% of the time.

    1 clip of you jumping, landing, and thats it, will by a few seconds
    long, 30seconds at max. No editing, and just exporting it and getting
    it on a site will not take more than 30mins, and thats pushing it
    really bad.

    Hope its all good though. If youre hitting this height with Si, I cant
    wait to see you go SIF and add the large amount of tuck to that. Be
    another good upper. Not sure how good you are with gaps, downs,
    skinnys, precision and the other parts of trials.

    Anyways, I may try this. Highest thing I remember is getting up
    5.5-6pallets. So around 24"-26". May lower my seat and try for 30", but
    im not saying that im in.

    I will delete everything off my camera that i dont need, so i have
    enough footage space, and i'll film EVERYTHING i do. Then hopefully
    i'll be able to hit around 28''. (the way i set up my highjump bar, the
    closest i can get with it before i go over 30'', is aroudn 28-29)

    Today i might not be able to ride, i totaly effed up my ankle last
    night, due to falling on wet grass next to a bunch of scrap wood and
    obstacles, and its going to rain today, along with having to work.

    Hell, Guys, i'll fricken set this thing up in my garage if i have to
    just to show you though.

    I'll do my best to get film of all of this.

    You seem to have alot of excuses, if you can do it, do it. 28" is alot
    lower than 36" but whatever, somethings better than nothing. Is it
    going to be static?

    And I would be more than happy with you ditching the bar and just
    hopping that height up ONTO something like a stack of pallets; it'd be
    easier than trying to go up & over.

    Speak for yourself:p.

    I have hit 34" over a bar with a prehop. I think this comp is possible.
    Ever inch after 30" gets exponentially harder to get SI as there is no
    room to tuck.

    Exactly. And good job on the 34.

    For more 'Specific' rule, prehop alowed i dont care, ive covered that,
    thats what i sorta meant by static.

    Yeah, it sucks, its fricken raining... I might set a bar up in my
    garage, and practice..

    and i know 28-29'' is a lot less than 36''. If i never hit 36, i plan
    to atleast hit 34.

  10. Static = no prehop, big confusion there.

    Better would have been 36" sidehop prehop or static. No rolling.

    and Seat In.

    << I have hit 34" over a bar with a prehop>> Ok let's see it on film,
    and SI. But it is absolutely harder to get 36" up & OVER a bar, vs 36"
    up ONTO a surface. This is because in order to *clear* the bar you must
    jump a little higher and *farther* across, so the crank(s)-both
    _leading_ and _trailing_ side-and pedal won't *hit* the bar, either on
    the way up, over, or down.

    With a bar, you can put EVERYTHING into the jump, and if you mess up,
    no big deal, cause you hit a tiny bar, or you step off your uni.

    " a load of bs ".. I for one, am still waiting on that 7spin you
    claimed to have landed a few months ago. I believe you about it, but i
    still have doubts about it, too.

    Take it easy on the lad.. If he can do it, then take his word for

    Yeah, those are good points. Advantages to either way I guess. Of
    course, if the bar or string, or whatever is attached so it does not
    come off easy, you could also get hurt-possibly seriously- (Like Evan
    trying to hop over the tennis net!) if you get snagged on it. But yeah,
    the bar or w/e should detach *very* easily with he slightest touch.

    Yeah, otherwise you have yourself a uni trap. =p

    Makes for good footage though.

    I have said a few times, the 7spin was a fluke. I only ever landed one
    (almost two). Trying to 7spin was alot of effort, quite abit of pain
    and very frustrating. I tried again but I couldnt be bothered and it
    wasnt fun. I dont realy ride street anymore (havnt realy done this
    year). I havnt landed a 5spin or trey for ages now. I dont say I can
    land 7spins. I know there is a huge difference in landing one and being
    able to land them consistantly.

    I think landing a trick and landing a high sidehop are very different.
    I find once I have landed a sidehop I dont have much problem
    replicating it. Getting tricks consistant takes ages. If he was hitting
    27" ages ago it surley shouldnt be hard and take long. I know (if I had
    a functional trials uni) I could go out, give it half an hour and I
    could hit 100cms again, I havnt been riding trials for like a week but
    I still think I could do it.

    Sorry if Im sounding [censored], I hate people who brag, especialy when
    they cant do what they are bragging about. I try my best not to do it
    myself.
