I find pedal kicks to be usefull when trying to gap to a higher object
and you can only get your wheel on the ledge of the object. You would
then transfer all your weight infront of you and on the forward pedal in
order to pedal-kick/hop-climb the object.
Oh, and here's a trick I find pretty usefull for pedal grabbing onto
tall objects: put yourself into a seat-out side-hop position, bend your
knees to get ready for the jump and then do just that. Jump as high as
you can but not in the same way as if you were gonna hop onto something,
just jump as high as you can and your feet should be leaving the pedals
for a moment. As you do this, prepare your foot to plant on the side of
the object you are trying to pedal grab and then lift the unicycle from
under you and use your other leg to slide the pedal under your
foot-planting foot.
I find you can get more pedal-grabbing height this way than you could
with an ordinary side-hop but it is very inpractical for hopping onto
something.
