  1. I am just wondering if your rolling hop or side hop (seat out in front
    or seat in) is higher? I personally have a larger side hop then a
    rolling hop but it's really close now (within 1 inch). Also why do you
    feel that it is higher??

  2. My rolling hop is several inches higher, I've been working on SIF side a
    lot more though. Last month my R. hop was about 7 inches higher...

  3. My side hop is a tad higher I think, but I haven't practiced enough.

    Riding really fast at a barrier isn't my kinda thing...

    My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I.. got out of bed at all
    The morning rain clouds up my window.. and I can't see at all
    And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
    It reminds me, that it's not so bad, it's not so bad.. bad... bad

  5. My highest is definately a stationary forward hop. Never tried Seat out
    hopping.

  6. my side hop, saddle in, to the left is getting significantly high.
    probably can do two feet fairly consistently. To the right is about
    half that. I just recently started working on rolling hops and they
    are coming a lot easier than last time I tried them. Jumping straight
    up a curb is pretty casual now but something a foot high might trip me
    up. Once my replacement seatpost shows up I intend to focus on rolling
    hops and saddle out hops.

  7. I hop mostly SIF. I can hop onto 22" boxes (to the left, 18"ish to the
    right) and ride away with ease, but I can't rolling hop half of that
    for shiites.

    I agree, I'd rather practice wheelwalking (my new thing), or unispins,
    or something else.

  9. Record sidehop 36-37", record rolling hop measured 34", unmeasured
    36-37".

    Rolling at a barrier is intimidating, but rolling hops onto rails are
    far less intimidating than sidehops onto them, and also rolling hops in
    muni can be great ways out of and over obstacles. If you have a high
    rolling hop, you can do offspeed mismeasured ones high enough to land
    obstacles.

    I think rolling hops have more potential than sidehops for height,
    since you have so much more time to build up power for the hop.
    Sidehops you can only build up power in the prehop and the spring. In
    rolling hops you can build up power as long as you can spin faster.

    Uhh, isn't that rather...what's the word...useless? And even if it
    weren't, if you can't get onto or over something, how can you possibly
    measure it? Also, there is a spellcheck, but then again everyone makes
    mistakes.
