Il have ot watch that Kh mocie again tonight, my pedal grabs are fine, I do them all the time, but the objects i want to do are a lil high, just outa my padal grab reach(walls fences etc.) and am workin on jumpin higher to get higher pedal grabs also. 30" would be great all i need. thanks for hte help and ill just keep practicin and try to tuck the tire more. Il try to wear a helmit a lil more if it pleasin ya, although i reall some clips w/ gerble in it where hes doin some rail grinds with no helmet * Shoot, I was layin in bed and I realized I mixed the names gerblefranklin and generaldibbles, Ive never seen gerble grind a stair, It was Dibbles and I didnt see him saying anything bad about not wearin a helmet, sorry bout that. I really suck with names. This threas competely became an argument about helmets rather than jumping, I guess Im just a stupid kid who doesnt like to wear a helmet. -- caw89 - Cody 'Cody's Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Codys-Gallery) 'sixsixone' (http://sixsixone.com/) AIM: unicaw89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ caw89's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40363 |

Caw I can heartily reccommend the 661 mullet, I bought one last year and its definitely saved me from serious injury on several occasions, Including an 8ft head first fall onto a tarmac path. About the .mov format, I like that fact you can drag the time slider in the browser and it updates the display in real time, allows you to analyse the hop easily. Good hop, although the points given by the rest stand about not really needing more height. Thats a huge hop, but (unless its for personal gratification) going higher wouldn't really help you if you're going for urban or street trials. I can't get anywhere near that height, but I can crank to rubber anything that height, and its all about finding a flowing route. Stopping, hopping, setting urself up, doing the hop and then steadying urself can ruin a good flowing route. What I'm going for at the moment is a higher rolling hop. Instead of stacking palettes higher & higher, only increasing the instability of the platform & increases the risk of injury, you could try rolling hops onto lower targets. Less chance of an injury, and a more useful skill IMHO.

1. don't wear a helmet. just because some of us are too scared to ride without a helmet dosen't mean you have to be. helmets will become more nescessary when unicycling gets faster. 2. build confidence before building height. get a certain height mastered before adding a 2x4. Master that, take the 2x4 away, add a pallet. rinse and repeat 3. Take a break. If you are having an off day, give it a rest . Don't let bad habbits and frusteration sink in. thats my advice, take it with a grain of salt. I'm kinda new to sidehopping, I got 27" within an hour of trying it out. -- onetrack - that gliding guy thedan.com unicycle team member "People over here have a dangerous habit of adding quotes to signature lines." -Klaas Bil Jim Neighbors is way cool ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onetrack's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/6374 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40363 |

I don't grind rails, too much of a wimp and also the only rail I see regulary without a kink is a 7 seat at school. I didn't watch the general dibbles clip, and most likely didn't post in the thread about it. Mike's advice is excellent. If you aren't getting near landing a hop within the first 15 minutes, leave it and come back another time. Rolling hops are just different moves. It really depends on the rider when it comes to usefulness. For me my sidehop is about equal to my rolling hop, but I use the sidehop far more. Neither of them are particularly dangerous assuming a simple ledge is the obstacle. -- gerblefranklin - Trials Unicyclist http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Trials-Muni Nick's main man.

My roll hop is a 4 pallet, the only time i made 5 i landed and the wieght threw one up and slammed into me, they were crooked. I like side hops cause the falls are usually safer, I want to jump higher to get higher crank climbs, to hop up small walls without setting up on top of them. I htink I really should be working on static hops, I can only static 4 pallets, and my seat in is about the same, but when I do a static I feel like throwin a ball with my left hand, I dont have proper form wihtout my prehop, its wierd. -- caw89 - Cody 'Cody's Gallery' (http://gallery.unicyclist.com/Codys-Gallery) 'sixsixone' (http://sixsixone.com/) AIM: unicaw89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ caw89's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8228 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/40363 |
