philgresty Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 (edited) I can only jump about 12 inches at the moment, can anybody tell me how to jump higher? I really want to go higher... very high, so i can land on bins and stuff, maybe even a bus shelter one day.. Thanks, look forward to your response haha i left this on in work. colleagues have an aquired sense of humour, iv been riding four years and can hop a lil higher than 12 inches ) Edited September 2, 2010 by philgresty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Just practise... Theres nothing you can buy, say or do to make you hop higher. Just practise hopping higher and you'll get there, slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 yeah its just practice, more preload, springiness and harder kicking on the pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Tell yourself you can hop up something and it helps! I do it all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 I think its more practice than anything. One thing i could suggest is try pre-tucking a bit more? (assuming your talking about side hops/ bunny hops) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unlikely that he goes to more than one college at any one time, but I see how you might have made this most fatal error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny--Trials Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 When you say hop i assume you mean log?? ... Lifting the front and then the rear. All i can say is get some pallets and some wood. find your limit then go 1/2 an inch higher by putting some wood on the pallets. Also if this is your limit you will just have to look at some videos and find a different technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
