Milestone.



As stated somewhere else the plan is the following.

Pedal Up to the red line (2). Static Hop onto the rear wheel (3). Drop to (4). Not very easy and it'll take at least till the end of summer I think.

Today I've tried a Pedal Up with only half a crank turn giving me the opportunity to be closer to the wall than with a full turn. It isn't very easy to do as I'm accustomed to more distance but in trials you never have that much space. 

The Static Hop worked better than the last time but only because I was told that I should do a little pedal kick before jumping upwards. 

The Side Hop is getting easier every day. I can't jump very high yet but it's only a question of time and practice I suppose. What I found surprisingly easy is a jump out of an BWH onto a curb. Easier than a Side Hop but with more height not manageable as you can't lower your front wheel enough for a preload.

Also tried to turn around clockwise on the rear wheel which didn't really work as you can see in the video.

I tried some up to fronts which wouldn't work obviously so I just rode onto the obstacle.

Finally some time to practice a little. In the vid you can see a Pedal Up (as usual) onto a 62cm curb, a gap that I wasn't able to do and my very first try of a static hop. The last one onto the stairwell is 1h later.
