Mark W Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Yeah, one of those three did 50" a while back at a high hop comp. This is 49" from 2011: Same person - admittedly not as high, but daaaayum: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 yeah, I have to tuck to the side like mad to avoid the rear wheel. I tried some hops on a bmx recently and it does seem harder, not as much leverage and the bike is lower to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJsy Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 yeah, I have to tuck to the side like mad to avoid the rear wheel. I tried some hops on a bmx recently and it does seem harder, not as much leverage and the bike is lower to begin with. I still hop dead straight, bad habit from bmx ha And yeah, I have mine pretty slammed, not into the whole 10" rise bars/top load stem stuff so the 24" is a lot easier to lift up. Also, I think it's Rob Wise hopping over the two people, that's one of the coolest things I've ever seen ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 That is mental! (hopping over 2 people) I tuck the wrong way so tucking at all pretty much hinders me so I just go straight too, never been past about 44". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJsy Posted September 24, 2013 Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 Tell you what, it'd be quite cool to get some of the highest hoppers from across the board (all kinds of bikes) and see who's got the highest hop over all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 That's not 5.5m. Perspective may make it look close where the old folk in the background are, but where the drop is being done? Not a chance, unless there's some seriously strange camera shit going down there or you're measuring from the top of your head perhaps... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
