5 pallets, want higher
 

Ok, i can steadly jump up 5 pallets, i might be able to do 6, I was
wondering if anyone who can jump higher can look at this clip and tell
me if im doin anything wrong or need to do better. It may not look it
but its 25in, wierd camera angle.

A: Wear a helmet.

B: Practice, maybe only have 1-2" increases in height, rather than 5-6".
It looks like you could've cleared 26 or 27" witht hat hop.

C: Tuck more.

D: Wear a frickin' helmet.

E: Get a trials uni.

I don't think that's gerble's -point-. The point is you should wear a
helmet.

But anyway.

Instead of gaining height pallet by pallet, try putting a 2x4 on the
edge of the stack of pallets, to only add 1.5 inches. then when you can
get that, add another 2x4. do that until the 2x4's add up to the height
of another pallet, and you can just put another pallet on there and
continue with 2x4's after that.

EXACTLY.

Even 1X4's if you have to.

Yeah, but helmets are IMPORTANT in unicycling. VERY important. They're
important in many sports, unicycling included. Gerble was trying to be
helpful is all.... If he hadn't mentioned it yet, I would have.

Thats just stupid but I won't bother.

I think that shows pretty clearly what your problem is. Tuck more to get
higher. Not to difficult.

*3. when i up and use 2x4s they tend roll on my, that sucks*
Put them under your pallets, same height but they don't roll.

Basically its just practise, practise, practise. I raised my hop 6" in a
few weeks by just practising. If all these quote things work I'll be
happy.

Good Luck,
David

*4. thanks for hte imput*

You're welcome.
