  2. was the gap between 2 objects sticking up from the ground, or was it
    from ground to ground
    I just layed a tape measure on the ground and 9 ft. is pretty big

    i can't find my conversion thingy right now... but 3'3" is roughly one
    meter

    its HUGE
    i have done few gaps that big, they are hard to find that big and
    clearable, it was over 2 1/4" strips of plywood about 3" across w/
    blocks on the end and it clicks really loud if you run over it cuz the
    wood is a tiny bit off the ground

  7. Thats awesome you can get that big up that driveway now. You've got to
    get it on video. I can get about 5-6 rolling hop but I am still
    working on it. How long have you been riding?

    i have it on video, the actual gap I did is a little smaller, but the
    same idea

  10. Well, a few days ago, I was unicycling, and there was two concrete
    platforms that I was gapping from. I measured them to where I was
    taking off and landing and got 84 inches.

    I can go farther than that probably right around 90-95 inches, but the
    gap I measured, with my trusty tape measure, was exactly 84 inches.

    so 7-8 feet is my vote.

    can't wait for it. Seeing your sponsorship video you look like the
    right person to make one.

    First things first, your rolling hop is very good. It is *(just don't
    get big headed)* really good.

    yeah..you're doing the exact opposite of this.
