The final day of hopping until I come back from a spring break ski trip.
You can get a lot more height easily by lifting up your legs and pushing your bars forward. That will get your rear wheel up off to e ground more. The pulling up on your bars and getting the front wheel high looks good, now you need to focus on the pop with your legs.
Good work!!
The position you’re in at ~6 seconds is pretty close to what your starting position should be; arms straight and weight back. And the position you’re in at ~5 seconds shouldn’t really happen. Try to go from 4 to 6 seconds without passing through 5. If you passed through 5 with your hips over your rear axle and head up, you *probably* could have added and extra foot to that hop for the same output! Drop your butt, not your head. Keep your head up. If you watch, you go *exactly* where you were looking. Staring at the the stick is stealing your height.
Perfect form
