Anyway. I’ve been searching the archives for an upto date uni high jump record, and i can’t find a satisfactorily recent one. Am i right in thinking that Kris Holm holds it? Can anyone give me a clue?
Even if you can’t, it’d be cool to hear how everyone else is doing in their hopping- Anyone beaten any personal records? I think i did today, but haven’t measured it yet. It was on my 26*3" muni thou, so was lower than usual. Guessing at 20".
Sorry to bring up a very worn out thread, but i must be weak at searching.
Thanx for any help

Kris got skillzzzz 
That would be a cool goal to reach.
But right now I can jump the height of 2 steps.

I think that the record goes to some german dude with pretty funky hair. I cant remember his name, but he was in OOW about 3 issues ago.

Arne Tilgen? I think he cleared an 85cm bar at Eurocycle last year.

I read the results for Eurocycle, and it said he cleared a height of 75 cm…
Kris is still the king.

So if Kris can do over 75cm, how much can he do? How high is Kris jumping in the pic?
Oh, by the way, measured my latest effort, it was only 49cm. I’m gonna aim for 55cm on my 20" .

Thats the results from Eurocycle 2000, then. I don’t think the high jump
results were ever posted from 2001 ( when Arne cleared 85cm) as it was a
late night comp and no one
recored any hieghts other than the awesome jumps Arne was doing . In fact
I don’t any one else bothered jumping much after Arne had been introduced
to a monty wheel. The prize for the high jump IIRC was a mug.

This pic is from a website, forgot where. I seem to remember that he
is clearing 82 cm in that picture.

Ultimately I don’t care too much because I think the record is going to get a lot higher pretty
soon, but I think that Arne may have gotten an unnoficial 85 cm in Britain last year. My
personal best is 87 cm on my 24" MUni (which weighs 16.5 lbs- one of the big reasons I think that
this record should be quite a bit higher on a lighter 20" trials uni). The “official” record is
82, from the 2000 UNICON.

Thanx for the help and updates there guys. Gotta love the lycra the guy pictured in OOW is wearing. Whatever makes him float higher. Amazing. I presume that is Arne?

I don’t know which picture you are refering to, but Arne does
seem to wear lycra bib-shorts quite often. He also tends to have
outrageous hair so he should be quite easy to identify…

How do you hop that high?
How does a person hop that high? my personal best is i think 23" or so, about to my knee usually. But 85,87 Cm, thats very high, what do you do to hop so high? thx.
hmm. i just took a ruler
yes i took a ruler and had to look on it to see how many Cm are in 23" I have come to the conclusion that it is 56 Cm. That is on my very heavy framed MUni, 24" But what can i do to become better at side hoping and stuff? Do i just croutch lower,push up harder?, or do a pedal grab? What is a pedal grab? do i actually grab ahold of the pedal? ok thx
