  2. For hopping seat out, concentrate on bending your knees. Just doing that
    helped me a lot. Also, don't forget to compress. Snap the tire, then
    instantly bend your knees and pull the seat up.

  3. 1practice while increasing height gradually (<1 inch higher each hop,
    and only when you have gotten previous height a few times in a row).

    2do you mean you pedal grab over something and onto the ground, or onto
    something? if the latter, just practice on something really low to the
    ground over and over. make sure there is lots of space to recover, as
    well. try, pulling the wheel up more so you have more time to prepare
    the landing.

    I personally think pedalgrabs over fences arte easier than pedalgrabs
    onto objects. You have more time to think about your landing. I have a
    video of me pedalgrabbing over a guardrail in my gallery. All you have
    to be careful about is keeping yourself from doing an accidental crank
    flip in mid-air. Other than that, it's easy.

    Don't you think it's a cruel irony that acting like a G.I. Joe in the
    army can get you a Medal, while playing with one can get you thrown
    out?
