Are you going for how *high* or how *far* you can roll hop? If it's the
latter, than Skrobo would have to be in the top 5 easy.

Oh, ok because when I think of "rolling hop" I think or distance, like
trying to clear a stair set, or just to see how far you can roll hop
distance-wise, like skrobo does.
I have just a torker lx 20; crappy tire and not very strong.
So basically, your talking about who can roll hop the highest stack of
pallets or something? Because that seems the only way to accurately
measure the highest hop.. by landing on top of something, or over a
horizontal pole maybe.

Pretty sure Arthur C. did a 121 cm roll hop, so that's more than what
has ever been done static (and rolling for that matter).
I'm in, but I think you should change the whole idea of half your
height and all...for most people, either it's impossible to get there,
or they already hitted that height long ago. My 2 cents...
