It's been three months already since I've tried that 1m wall. I practiced side hops pretty much every time I went out but haven't processed at all height wise. Last week I tried the wall shown in the video and failed about 100 times in a row. I always set my foot down first and couldn't keep it on the pedal. I dunno why this happened so I went back to an even lower wall and couldn't do it either without putting down my foot. So I went back to a 30cm curb and only then I could convince my foot to stay on the pedal. It took me an entire week to get over this and I went up in small steps always focussing on the technique. Today I finally got back to the height I was able to do months ago. The technique is better though which is a good thing. I also focussed on putting down the front wheel first but have to get my head around this still. It kinda works already but needs a lot of practice still.

The last couple of sessions I got more and more frustrated. I don't know why but I've got a mental blockage at the moment. This takes me back to where I was one year ago height wise so I decided to to something else for the next couple of weeks in order to get this blockage away. So here's what I did yesterday. I haven't actually done ANY balance training since I've started trials so this is pretty good for me. :)
