rolling hops

I can hop side to side ontop of objects pretty well, but i noticed in
most of the videos, the unicyclists are hopping forward while pedaling
and such. how is this possible!?!?! i can do like, 4 inch curbs that
way, but not straight out of pedaling. tips?

uhh well the search bar makes this trick a little easier but to do it
you peddal at the object and when your cranks are horizontal pop up and
hop. It helps if you sort of tweak your uni out front, it also looks
cooler. just keep practicing on curbs till you get the timing down. I
find it better to hop too soon than too late. I hope this helps.

guys come on. hey francis, those are called rolling hops. They are
useful and can get more height SOMETIMES. In saying this the record
for hop hight is set by a stationary side hop. For tips look up on the
search button (what the second link of what james said) and put in
something like 'rolling hops' or 'rolling hop tips'. Also check
www.unicycletips .com.

Hope this helps

mike
