weight/height/age diff in hop height?

one thing that has really helped my hop height is jumping up as many
stairs as i can at a time on only one leg(without the uni of course) it
has helped build up some of the twitch muscles in my legs. Jumping on a
unicycle is different than jumping on your feet. Its more like you are
pulling yourself into the air..im not sure if that makes sense. But
really just practice jumping on and over everything, even if you arent
riding your uni still jump up on stuff. just really train those
muscles. Then when you go to jump onto something sif just really
visualize that your butt is conected to your wheel with elastic, so
once your butt is off the seat the wheel is up off the ground and you
are completley pulling the uni under you. I hope some of that makes
sense..its kinda early in the morning so im tired..also thats just the
way i do it, and it seems to work pretty ok for me.

just practice all the time.

I fall with my upper body travelling backwards and my lower body
travelling forwards from 5' up and hit the concrete with my tailbone
and right elbow. It hurt, but I found it quite funny.

being 12 will hold you back from jumping really high. but if you have
the techinque down really well and you keep it up till you start
filling out. you should be up to 35" by the time you are 16/18
