When I rolling hop up stuff, say curbs, and I don't want to have to take
the time to line up the pedals, I just ride up to the curb at a bit of a
slant/angle. Er, I dunno how to say it, but I do something in between
riding sideways (parallel) to the curb (as if I were getting ready to do
a side hop) and riding staight up forwards, perpendicular to it. This
way, I can still have my speed up pretty good, like in a forward rolling
hop, rather than less speed with a side hop. The technique is pretty
much the same as a forward rolling hop, but, if you're not gonna line
your pedals up, itz less scary than riding straight up to the curb. I
find that itz easier to be riding up to a curb diagonally and then have
to turn, curve and swerve a little to make the pedals line up right,
than to curve while riding straight toward it.
