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.
