Stairjumping writeup.

you don't need tire compression for jumping distance. it doesn't really
help.

EDIT: i can bottom out at 28 psi w/ a prehop.

remember that evan has a BMX wheelset, and skrobo has a trials. that
makes a difference in the feeling of the tire pressure.

Then how do you get so much HEIGHT with you rolling hops? AT the moment
you leave the ground are you not "pushing" down on the tire to help you
spring up and out?

i don't think of it that way, i just go for a point 6" farther than i
really want or need to go, unless its a stairset, then its a few feet.
if i am going for height, i jump the same way, but instead of leaning
into it i throw my weight into my back foot and spring up.

Why do you capitalize, use quotation marks, bold, italicize, and
underline words so much? you don't have to enphasize random words, its
not like we're only reading every other words and we're only gonna
notice the other ones if you use italics, etc.

Habit I guess. Sorry if it bothers you. I'll try to not do it so much.:o

I find it way easier, just as long as my tire is high (right now its
rather low). If there is no compression when I land it feels better and
I roll away smoother.
