i did my biggest move ever today!

you can always “cheat” by riding up to the edge, hopping into position and then riding backwards so you’re sure that when you do your rolling jump you’ll be in the perfect position for take off, and not have to waste up to 6" waiting for your feet to be level.

This never works for me. I want to learn rolling hops but I can never get a good run-up.

what i do is: i pick a spot and note where it is. i mount my uni. i ride up slowly, and stop at whereever it is i want to jump from. depending on where my pedals are set up, i move my orignal spot back or forward some. this works most of the time, but if you want to do several rolling hops in a row, then you need to be able to time them.

I hope forward. If I had side hopped the stairs the rim would have bent for
sure.
The stairs were regular size and the drop was about 5.5-6 feet.

You all make my two stair of about one foot sound crappy, but it was anyway, I got a load to learn, and ankles to screw up. But in the meantime I gotta try something bigger then that. Like jumping off a building, on a giraffe, with three wheels, and a little bell, and a dog with a poofy tail.
