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.

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. -- James_Potter - betcha can't stick it! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ James_Potter's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3807 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40363 |

They're important in many sports, unicycling included. Gerble was trying to be helpful is all....

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. -- darchibald - Street Unicyclist ' Album 481' (http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery/album481) - My Gallery "Wow thats awfully good for someone who has no legs or whatever happened to you" ~ MERCYME to Evan Byrne. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ darchibald's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6240 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40363 |
