  1. I have a question about rolling hops. When doing the rolling should I
    be standing over my seat completely(like standing straight up on the
    pedals), just barely hovering over my seat, or sitting down completely?
    Right now I'm experimenting with all 3 and they seem to work equally,
    so which should I stick to for the most continued success?

    Make sure you get your legs extended when you hop, jumping with a
    similar technique to when you are on the ground (legs extended, that
    is).

    Depending on your personal preference, it could go either way. I like
    to fully explode when I do a rolling hop, but thats just how I get
    myself up the ledge.. I'm not quite sure if "barely hovering over the
    seat" will make it, but if you become acostomed to that, then it will
    progress naturally with your riding.
