Roll hops may be faster and cooler looking, but i dont like having to
line my pedals up al the time, so i figured side hops would be more
affective in the long run, but im not sure which juimping style you were
asking for the tech in, the roll, or the side...With a roll hop you
wanna line up your pedals, the higher it is hte further back you wanna
jump from, ride at it with some speed, yuo dont need to go super fast,
and jump up as hard as you can, pull up, and fold your body in half
putting hte tire in front of you...Or at least thats how I do it and i
can get about 25in.....for seat in front, i prehop 30-32 and static
proly bout 27in, but i prehop, then jump up as hard as you can, pull up,
bend your nees super far, try to hit your butt on hte tire, and keep the
tire underneith you(i used to push the tire back on accedent nd fall
forwards a lot)but tuck it up like a ball, bend your knees, and try to
land it......the rest is all just practice and watching others do it...
