I was thinking that it would be interesting to graph a unicyclist's
maximum hop height (vertical) and a unicyclist's maximum gap length
(horizontal). I'm estimating that the gap will be roughly 2.5-3 times
larger than the hop.
N.B. I know I'll get a heap of arguments from ppl about rolling and side
hops, but I say whatever goes, goes. Also, I know that ppl will argue
about official testing, hopping over something as opposed to onto
something etc... (everyone knows the kinds of arguments I mean).
So...
- As I said, any kind of hop goes (just to get a rough graph anyway).
- The hop height is onto something, and is of course going to be less
accurate than the max gap length as it is less scary doing a gap than it
is a hop, so I guess that this should be taken into account in the
graph.
- Also, I wouldn't know how to do this graph, or where to get the data
from, I guess that some online graph book thing could be set up where
people submit data into it, where parameters are set so that stupid
values are excluded
(e.g.
if
gap > 4 X hop
then
the person is either lying, they can't hop for nuts or they are just
beginning in which case another parameter could be put in to allow hops
of under say 5cm to have larger gaps or something like that.)
Anyway, I thought it would be interesting just to say how it worked out.
If you think it's rubbish, then say so, and I think it is a bit of a
waste of time, but still, it would be interesting, don't you agree???
