  1. this is a thread for saying how high you can hop, on average, not the
    one freak time when you hopped 4 feet, also, you can post the thing that
    you did on a unicycle that was your greatest accomplishment on it.

  2. and I can hop about 1 foot, but I was having trouble hopping ten inches
    before I deflated the tire, and it made it soooo much easier.

  5. I think if you hop 4 feet one time, chances are it's not a 'freak
    accident.'

    anyway, I suck at hopping, and can do maybe 20".

    Sure it could be, I've coasted unintentionally for like 4 seconds when I
    took my feet off to dismount, I've also done an unintentional crankflip,
    although I think I landed on my back

  7. well sure, but those are because you're in the process of falling off
    but screw up. you can also say you accidentally did a 10 foot drop.
    but I don't think it would be very easy to accidentally shoot four feet
    upwards.

  9. My high jump sucks because I only jump 22inches but today I succeed
    something new to me: squeeze my shoe between the tire and the frame when
    trying to wheelwalk

    Are you sure? 4 seconds is a long time to unintentionally coast...count
    it out.

    That 27-28" seat in hop posted above is incredible!

    I have sometimes but it never ends as it should, I just lean back and as
    if I'm about to do a jump dismount I pull my feet up and it continues
    going, my arms flail and I land on my tailbone.

  19. hmmm...never done an 'official' measure...but I'm in the 30-32" range,
    and that's with NO pre-hop.

    I've never tried to see how high I can roll-hop up something, or over
    something.

  20. I can hop seat-out about 22" but I can only rolling hop about 12"... how
    can some of you rolling hop higher than seat-out? Practice, I know, but
    what is your technique?

    I balance myself with the cranks horizontal and standstill until I feel
    ready, then I bend my knees (this is hopping seat-out), and jump up
    while holding the side of the seat with my right hand and using my left
    for balance. I average about 22".

    I have trouble roll-hopping because I can't (<don't like saying that)
    seem to hop as my cranks are horizontal 🙄
