  5. thanks!..yea 4 1/2 months of a lotttttt of practice. That 5 set is
    actually my personal record that i broke in the video this past
    saturday haha. I've got a bet going that i'll do this particular 7 set
    within a few months from now. I think i've got it in the bag.. i just
    have to work on my rolling hops a bit. Its not the height i'm concerned
    about, but the distance.

  6. goodluck man, i need a new unicycle before i go doing anything. my
    cranks are so bent i cannot pedal proppely without my foot slipping off
    the pedal or twisting in a way which feet are not supposed to be
    twisted.
    i shall race you to a seven set! i get a new uni in december

  10. well i have no idea where any seven sets are in my area. i know of a
    four and the next one up is about 10 🙁 roadtrip! in the quest for a
    set of seven. rolling hops are not my speciality either.

    rolling aspect is a necessity to do 7

    Not always. I can side hop down 8s, and have done a side hop down a 10,
    but need to try it again.

    It is much easier I think to actually rolling hop sets. =p
