trials_noob Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Not trying to be smart, but seriously try to learn hopping on the other side, (if you right foot forward). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordy boy Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 i think like the guy sed once you have learnt to hop to the side, pre-loading is a big factor, or at least for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTF Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Not trying to be smart, but seriously try to learn hopping on the other side, (if you right foot forward).I'm right footed and I just can't jump to the left. I must jump to the right. Don't know why but I can't jump higher than 10" to the left...And I can do like 30" to the right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
