  4. Its no 102 but I hit 90cm the other day. Got onto a bin, it was
    square-ish and slightly sloped and stuff, shame I didnt have my camera.
    I will get it on film for my next vid. I can hit 82cm static pretty
    easy now. The main problem I have with high static hops is getting the
    distance sideways as well as the height and whipping the tyre under.
    Its just easyier to put in a small pre-hop and that sorts it all.

    Emile whats your highest hop with pre-hop?

    Hopfuly if it stays cool enough to ride I will try and get something
    filmed over the next few weeks.

    I'd say in the 70s.

    I do not like ot pre-hop with plastic pedals because my foot do not
    stay on place. I need metal pedals!

    I find my feet have less tendancy to move when I do a prehop. When I go
    static the action of whiping the wheel under sometimes leaves my feet
    slightly on the cranks.

    Today I gave myself a 30 min revision break (im pretty kind like that
    :p) I went out to land some hops. I was landing 86cm static with no
    real problems then I stuck a couple more peices of wood in and added a
    prehop and was hitting 90 most times. I quickly shot a bit of film,
    just need to edit it, its 4 mins at the moment.

    I was hiitng them probably 8 out of 10 times, I know I can go alot
    higher, 100cms not looking so big anymoreπŸ˜„

    I will get the vid up later, probably tomorrow, if anyones actualy
    intrested lol
