Man - that is awesome.

Got any tips to pass along that you figured out? I'd be psyched if I
could make a similar improvement. I'm around where you were a week ago.
55cm sidehop, 35 cm rolling. Working on both, but the rolling hops
aren't coming along as fast as I'd like.

Ride reasonably fast, line up the wheel about the height of the object
in distance (eg, if it's 40cm high, jump from 40cm away, but just trial
different lengths to see what works for you). Jump high but also bend at
the waist and bring the front of the unicycle up. Commit! Make sure you
stay on the pedals, the worst thing that can happen is you fall fowards
onto what you're jumping onto.

you don't need too much speed to rolling hop up things, I can get up 4
pallets pretty consistantly now with less than two revs of roll up you
can't get much speed in 2 revs.
