How's every body coming along with trials? I took a break some what over the summer and recently started riding regularly again and am pushing a 40in hop. I'm getting 3ft and all around that area fine, smooth even. I can hop high enough for 40, but that something that high just really plays with my mind, I never thought I would be going up something taller than my unicycle, a year ago I was happy getting something like 20 inches. Any tips on breaking the mental block? I got really close, but can't quite land it. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko).

Nope, I haven't grown in a while, about 2 years or so. My leg's are pretty bulky now though. Hop height it all in your head though man, at least for me. Once I understand what I'm doing is not crazy, it gets better. Also don't worry about height so much, it will come. Remember to keep skinny skills and other tech moves in your practice rotation. I can't skinny for crap haha, I can't even ride on railroad tracks with any kind of proficiency. I'm also pretty bab at technical lines, but I'm working on the alot now and improving fast. Oh yeah, I also can't standstill at all, which is really sad. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko). Ducttape wrote: haha!

Getting the right psi is all personal preference. This has been stated countless times. And psi isn't going to be the magical ingredient to a big side hop either -- unidunc )-90'-UNISPIN-O  ------------------------------------------------------------------------ unidunc's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16535 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I weigh something like 190-200, I've gained some weight recently. I have no idea what pis I run, I don't even have a gauge haha. I just run what feels right. I'm running a k1 stiky, the psi is pretty high, I'm guessing somewhere around 30-35. To get what i need though I just fill it up really high before I go out then let 1 tiny burst of air out until it's just perfect. I also adjust my pressure depending on what I'm doing, like if I'm going to practice gapping rail to rail or biggish drops I up the pressure. My tire is pretty damn hard, once you get better at least for me I really needed to up the pressure. As long as your not bottoming out. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko). Ducttape wrote: haha! I'm rubbing off on people again....

I'm not sure it works like that, good luck trying though. Remember the smoothness of the rider also affects the psi. -- wickedbob R.I.P MITCH HEDBERG 'Add wickedbob to your ignore list' (http://tinyurl.com/3dfrko). Ducttape wrote: haha!
