rolling hop

ok, but should the rolling hop be higher or farther than a stationary
hop?

I've been working on rolling hops as well.

Check out 'muniac.com's tips page on rolling hops'
(http://muniac.com/tips.htm#rollhop) . There's a great explanation
there.

dan heaton told me something to the extent of, "i just try to convert
all of my forward motion into upward". this didn't help me whatsoever,
but he was dead on because that's exactly what it is. you just want to
ride with some speed, stop just as your cranks get horizontal with each
other, push down/forward, and then pop up into the air, then pull up
your legs right when you're about to reach maximum height. i used to not
be able to do this very well, but recently i've found myself getting
better at it...right when i've basically abandoned it for seat-out
jumps, hehe. both are good really, and needed, so i guess i'll keep
practicing both of them.

and also, plan to do your jump in a couple of revolutions while you're
riding, and on the initial jump revolution, push down on your pedals
extra hard when getting into the horizontal crank position for a better
jump.
