What's the biggest known rolling hop?

Haven't you seen Universe 2? 🙂 Dan Heaton hops to 7 pallets. It's
probably something like 1 metre high.
And Xavier Collos has done the same I think. Maybe Yoggi too.

(I'm on 64 cm, but I'm progressing. I can't practice that much right
now because it's winter...)

Rolling hop 1m!
*Wipes drool from mouth*

Can you get higher with static hops or rolling hops?

As far as I know, you can hop higher staticly SIF, but on my opinion it
takes more time to learn properly than rolling hops. So I'm practicing
rolling hops instead of static SIFs. I think rolling hops are also
"cooler"... 😉 No, it's not important, point is to hop high, everyone
prefers different styles.

Rolling hops keep the lines smooth, which is important for street. If
you're stopping at every obstacle to take the seat out, hop up, place
it back in & continue then it breaks up the line. I prefer to keep the
seat in, pedalgrab and snap to rubber very quicky, it's slower than a
rolling hop but faster than a seat out hop, and since my seat ins are
at the moment higher than my seat outs it also gets me more places.

I'm pretty sure the rolling hop Heaton does in U2 is slightly less than
1m (probably closer to 97cm). munimanpete looked pretty casual when he
did his 97cm so I have no doubt that he could go higher with more
experience.

For those of you who haven't quite grasped the workings of the (far
superior) metric system, 97cm is very close to 1m. 😉 Amazing stuff

Same thing goes for Muni, but this times it's rolling drops. Getting to
where you can launch with either foot forward/back--or pulling off a
quick mid-air crank spin to horizontal--without having to stop or
interupt the flow, is sort of becomming one of the earmarks of the
super expert. I still tend of pause a bit before launching off stuff
(sight unseen) beyond about 30 inches, but I'm working on it . . .

How the heck to you do a "rolling" hop? At what point in the pedal
stroke do you hop while rolling, especially if you're going fast? Do
you have to time it so the pedals are horizontal to the ground as in
astatic hop? The vids I've seen almost look a sif in a rolling hop, the
rider almost stops, momentarily, then hops. (newbie question of
course):o

I meant "as if" in a rolling...., not "sif" as in seat in front. Typo

First, maybe we should make some distinctions...

Ryan set the highjump record *over* a bar. If you can rolling hop a
98cm ledge, I think you'd be lucky to get over a 92cm bar.

As for final heights, i'm pretty close to you. My record onto a ledge
is about 37" (96cm). On that hop I was in a dead sprint approaching the
ledge, and still hit about 1/4 of the way up the front of the tire. It
was only luck and momentum that carried me up. I doubt I could even
clear an 88cm bar with a rolling hop...

Rolling hops have more potential because you don't need explosive
strength. You can build up your hop power as you approach the ledge,
rather than in two explosive jumps. I've always been able to hop as
high, or higher with my rolling hops, and I almost never practice them.

97 is awesome Pete! I'd say there are between 5-10 people that have
rolling hopped a meter but there could be a few more. I don't think
people have gone too much higher though...

Oh, before I filmed Zack B. doing a 180 rolling hop onto a picnic table
he was warming up by doing 180 rolling hops up 7 pallettes in my
backyard. He was able to do these without too much difficulty and i'd
say it was 7-8" higher than a picnic table. Pretty impressive, too bad
I preferred the line and shot with the 180 up the picnic table for
Defect...

There's a clip of him doing a 180 onto 7 pallets in Bowling Green at
