I can hop more than a foot vertically seat in now. When should I move to SIF for high hops? Should I wait until I can hop higher seat in, or start SIF right now?

Thanks!:)

I've been able to ride since August 2007, but only started getting serious this January.

Thanks for the advice! My next ride will definitely include SIF hopping the whole time!:D

Those blocks are really unstable, I made the bottom to small. They tip over if I land a little bit off centre. I think I'll make new ones that are bigger with some scrap 2 by 4's I have lying around...

Thanks again!

I really want to come to a VanUni meeting sometime soon! My grandma lives in Vancouver, but I haven't visited her since I found out about VanUni. I'm sick of riding by myself...
