  1. Hey guys,

    So today, I just about added 10cm. to my hop height ๐Ÿ™‚

    I tried the same jump about 200 times (let it be known I got a blister
    on my pinky and cut the back of my leg on my pedal ๐Ÿ™)

    Out of those 200 attempts, about 10 times, I actually made the jump,
    but I'd either fall right off or the uni would slip from under me.

    q u e s t i o n s QUESTIONS ::questions:: questions

    1. When you actually (or in my case, unexpectedly) hit the jump, how do
    hold your position long enough to stay up?

    2. How far away should you pre-hop?

    3. While attempting, I made up the "5 p's of jumping"
    a. Position
    b. Pounce
    c. Pull
    d. Plant
    e. Party!!!

    Do you have any to add or detract?

    Thanx,

    Hungry

  2. Don't use meaningless threads titles like that, its going to upset
    people who don't care / can't help with your questions.

    There is no exact science behind any of those questions, its just
    practice. Theres been plenty of threads about hopping, look around and
    don't tell me you can't find any. It really is just a matter of
    practice and getting a hang of it.
