43 inches = 3ft 7in. No offense and good job, but not something worthy
of a post in RSU.

I wanted to show this off outside of MR for a long time and this seems
like a good place: I can hop 2.4m pretty solid now. My next target is
2.8m.

6 and a half feet is about 1.8m, isn't it?
I can do about 1.6m seat out. I could do more, probably, but my tyre
keeps folding, I even pinched a tube before.

For tips: try watching 'Skrobo's rolling hop tutorial'
(http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56877).
My tips: Practice at a moderate speed, when approaching the take-off
spot - fold, when jumping unfold really fast, kind of snap. Fold again
in the air to keep to keep the wheel off the ground for as long as
possible, land. Increase the speed gradually.

6.5ft is 2.0m. I am going to practice roiling gaps today.
Thanks for em tips. I think I come too slow, and that's why I haven't
improved much.

Danni-

What I find helpful for my rolling hops is this:

Roll towards gap at moderate pace (not at all fast)
On last half revolution increase speed slightly and lean forward
At hopping position snap the wheel up infront of you. Bend your torso
as far forward as possible and kick the wheel infront of you.
Throw your free arm forwards
Then land.

So in the air your body and uni should form a shape like this : <

or this (red is the person, black is the uni)

hmm
2.8m is where it seems that you can't jump any farther, but I hit a hop
that was somewhere REALLLY close to 3m the other day.
woooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh!
sorrry, i just had to get that out, i didn't think i would get any
better at them.

I've only been unicycling for seven months, so I could probably double
this distance with practice.

Hmm, maybe not. But I'm pretty determined to beat the current world
record.
