Hello Croonneck
Thanks for writing. I hope this is the right way to send a message - I'm not quite used to these kinds of fora. - Well, yes, i try to hop. I can ride, stop, hop some times, ride again, but hop upon something is really a challenge. Two times I have been able to hop to a small curb (3 cm), stand still for a short moment - and then fall off.
About idling: Best foot 29 times (once!), worst food 1½ times ...
Backwards: A few times as much as 20 m, but ride forwards, backwards and then forwards again, which could be quite useful - no.
I have tried these things at least a year. When you are so much younger than I, you will probably get it first!! I wish you good luck!
Best regards, Sanne
