    All that can really be said is practice, practice, and more practice.

    Some things you may not be doing that can help
    -Different tire pressure (Tire should have a LITTLE bounce, not enough
    to make your tire fold, really this is more personal preference though)
    -Seat in front riding
    -Adding prehops before you jump

    I would advise against seat in front riding and learning to prehop just
    yet. You need to be able to hop static well for many trials lines. I
    would practice seat in until you are hitting your goal of 24", and then
    slowly switch to seat in front. Practice both and you will start your
    path towards becoming a good trials rider.

    I still can't S.I.F Hop but now that I know I can help I'll work on
    that.

    Not necessarily. Static means stationary, so it just means that you
    aren't moving before or after the hop. So, it would be something like
    going from on top of a rock over to another rock, where neither of
    those positions allows you much (if any) wiggle room. Like Danni says,
    it's important for trials riders, who have to be able to nail their
    landings without a bunch of small hops, etc.

    I wish I could do it better, too, but haven't practiced much lately.

    I would define static as "not rolling". Haha.

    Well are you committed to the jump? As in you feel like you can do it.
    If you not committed you'll never make it. Also what are you trying to
    break your record on? If your doing it on 3 pallets, you should
    probally not do that. You should find something at a height between 2
    pallets and 3 pallets.

    I wrote a tutorial on how to break committment issues, cause that's
    what I used to suffer from.

    Just keep practicing.
