  4. i learned on like a ledge type thing or a stair would work great also,
    just put your back peddle on it get set grab the side of the seat, then
    roll a little bit foward(how ever much is needed) then just when your
    peddals are horizontal bend a bit and jump really high😄 if that makes
    any sense?
    maybe ill take some pics of the way i learned as i found it really easy,
    then you can put it on your site as i know there are other people that
    have not really learned it yet

    I would suggest that you don't treat it like a pogo stick. Aim towards
    making zero correctional hops; the only hops you should do are the big
    jump and any very small hops correcting your balance in a still stand.

  7. I found a few videos of Kris Holm teaching the proper. most effective
    ways of jumping. I think, and am pretty sure, that they were in
    someone's gallery on this site; unfortunately there is no search
    function for the gallery and I didn't bookmark the page. If anyone would
    be so kind as to post the link to that gallery, I'm sure there would be
    a few very appreciative people here 🙂

    I have the videos on my comp but it would take longer than I have right
    now to upload them, but maybe later 🙄

    But yes, Kris says that you should hop as few times as possible and
    think of each landing as a stillstand. Count the duration of your
    stillstand each time and, over time, you will be able to balance for a
    few seconds (I can get maybe 6-8 seconds on a 'good' day).

    Please do post some pictures though, habbywall, I'd like to see your
    hopping technique, having been here since your first posts and kind of
    'following' you as you progess through latter posts.

    It's no good being Polish unless you prove it once a day.
