Am I Behind??

At 50, my development is slow. This year I've learned to hop (seat in,
6 inches high, gap about 10 inches), ride backward (not much over 20
feet), and idle.

Riding up a small hill and turning sidway to hop up the last steep bit
is easy enough, but I don't have a practical skill for rock climbing
yet.

The skill I'm shooting for this year is to be able to ride up to a 6
inch curb and hop up it. I've just learned to hop up a 4" curb easily.
I'd like to be able to forward gap up a 6 inch curb, but am beginning to
see that as a tricky (dangerous) maneuver. Probably stick with improving
my side hop up technique since I feel I have better control.

It's been too hot in NY all summer. It hasn't stopped me from riding
daily, but I'm beginning to look forward to winter to get some good
riding in.
