What are the characters say. I have been trying to learn chinese and I
am pretty sure the that the left side says something Zhong Goa but what
is the are the others. I fell as if I should know what one of the right
ones are but I can't think of it.

You should probably PM, this is the wrong forum for this anyway.

One of things that really helped me when I was learning to hop was
jumping on an old pogo stick. It's basically the same movement and
balance for both of them. Just jump on the pogo stick for awhile, then
hop on your uni and give it a go. I was able to go from like 5 or 6 to
at least 20 or 30 at a whack after practicing on the pogo stick for
awhile. Happy hopping

Hey praxisist, This is a "free" forum, but there's also being
considerate. In other words, go over to the Just Conversation area and
start a thread about screwing your country's athletes in there. The
Olympics is supposed to be a sporting event, not a political
roundtable.

Hopping:
It's easier than riding. If you're just starting out all you have to do
is keep one pedal from getting higher than the other, and bounce around
like you're on a stiff pogo stick.

BTW I realised a funny thing: to hop I sure keep the cranks horizontal
... but not the pedals 😕 I hop better with back pedal
slightly inclined toward the "center" ... a bad habit?

Hmm. I wasn't able to hop at all when I started. Maybe because I did
not know that you can hop on a unicycle 🙄

I can hop around quite a bit by now, but I don't get the height I need
to jump onto something. I can barely hop onto the pavement, mainly
because I can't hop high and sidewards at the same time. When I try
that, I loose balance and the cranks are no longer horizontal 🙁

A question of practice? I think so. I'll keep trying .........
