    Okay, so First off im not a noob ๐Ÿ™‚. I can gap 6 sets, 1ft, ww, ride
    skinnies, etc. I just cannot hop up good at all! Has anyone had a
    similar experience? I'm getting frustated because ive spent weeks on
    this and havent even gained an inch ๐Ÿ˜ . Any tips? I think i might
    not be bending my legs enough or somthing.

    P.S. Hopping SI, getting around 12 inches

    Jeremy, it may just be the obstacle your jumping to. I cant really hop
    that high on my pallets, but i can do FAR more doing urban trials.
    Then, when you prehop, just hit it as hard as you can, and pull as far
    as you can. If nothing else, its probably a mental block on the
    obstacle your doing. I would say go into town, try some stuff thats as
    big, if not bigger. Some things look far smaller than they really are
    when i go riding in town, just because its different than what im used
    to.

  4. benches and other obstacles where messing up is greater usually screws
    me... but hopping up a two set stairs or on a solid obstacle seems
    easier. Just try to limit how much you could possibly screw up, maybe
    that'll work?
