P.S. When people do rolling hops, how are they always able to jump RIGHT when they get to the gap? Because when I always do that I have to like try over and over again just to get everything right…

I don’t think anyone’s answered this one yet…usually, for me, it’s one of two things:

1. I swerve a little bit in anticipation of when to jump. This method takes quite a bit of practice so you know about how far you’re going and when you need to line up your pedals, and it really just comes naturally.

2. For things like stairsets, what you do is put your unicycle, with pedals lines up, at the edge of the stairs where you think you’re going to jump. Then drag it backwards in a straight line until it’s far enough away where you have room to mount, get your balance, pick up speed, etc., and so it’s in your mounting position. Then, to account for the tire’s compression, pick the unicycle up and move it forward 6-12 inches (the exact amount really depends on your weight and your PSI, just mess with it a bit). This strategy has never failed me when trying to rolling hop stairsets or ledges.

Good luck!

I just line it up, ow I want to jump, then I roll it back, get on the uni, and do the rolling hop.
