wiat what? your having problems getting your front end higher? thats like the easiest part, just try leaning back a few degree's at a time, eventually your body will find one it likes and you'll learn it and remember it fast and then you'll be doing j-hops fine!

Just practice, theres no "magic" behind the trick, you just keep getting better as you practice, i could do like 4 or 5 inches when i first started, now my best is 37 inches (95cm).

yea practice make perfect but iv noticed with me i can only hop high when im hoping on or over something like a picnic table u pretty much just pull the front tire up as high as u want to hop and and push up and out to get the back tire the same hight but watch out the front end will dive sometimes

I know it's all about practise. I can't seem to pull my front no higher then like 7 inches. I need tips on that.

ur prob pushing up and out to soon like try pulling the front end up high like a high manual till u get the fell of it and soon enough u will be hopping on picnic tables but dont get me wrong it takes a lot of practise and time i just learned how to hop jersy barriers this year so just keep seting up milk crates or rocks or w/e till u get higher and higher
