    I rolling hopped up 58cm! That's double what I could rolling hop a week
    ago ๐Ÿ˜„

    And it's higher than my sidehop height. I'm becoming a true street
    rider :P

    Man - that is awesome.

    Got any tips to pass along that you figured out? I'd be psyched if I
    could make a similar improvement. I'm around where you were a week ago.
    55cm sidehop, 35 cm rolling. Working on both, but the rolling hops
    aren't coming along as fast as I'd like.

    Ride reasonably fast, line up the wheel about the height of the object
    in distance (eg, if it's 40cm high, jump from 40cm away, but just trial
    different lengths to see what works for you). Jump high but also bend at
    the waist and bring the front of the unicycle up. Commit! Make sure you
    stay on the pedals, the worst thing that can happen is you fall fowards
    onto what you're jumping onto.

    you don't need too much speed to rolling hop up things, I can get up 4
    pallets pretty consistantly now with less than two revs of roll up you
    can't get much speed in 2 revs.
