hops??

37 inches

18 inch bars, and I'm 5'5"

you can decide if it counts, my front wheel is off to the side a bit, I didn't notice it until I watched frame by frame

Don't wanna be a dick but it may not count, I guess you should try setting up a wider barrier to make sure you fully clear it. That's an interesting technique, you're setting the scooter sideways to make the whole deck clear the barrier in one moment, I guess that's what some skaters do when ollieing big stuff. That's still mad high though, I never saw anyone hopping like that.

Edit: Brandon Kilbury - first rider to bunnyhop half his height?

I'm not even sure when I started doing that. I don't try to and I don't notice it when I'm jumping stuff but way back I started getting pictures of me hopping garbage bins and stuff and noticed I was sideways. I still don't understand how guys ollie skateboards and bunnyhop bikes like almost 4 feet. Anyone see Ty morrow do like 49? I think that's what itwas

Over the winter I had my friend set up a pole across a few different heights and I could whip over everything just as easily as I could straight hop it. I'll measure it if I ever fix my scooter and ride again.

i think i can 180 a lil higher than i can hop for some reason. haha
its almost easier doing it in 180 because you don't have to clear both wheels at different times, they go over the obstacle at the same time. thats why you see that swing out thing in my vid, and bk's (although i was doing it on purpose, BK wasn't).

meh I don't think it should because if the wood went all the way across I wouldn't have cleared it haha. If it was a railhop or something I would have eaten it

nah it wasn't so bad, I knew I could get higher than the saw horse that's why I was just stacking 2x4's on top, I knocked them down trying to clear 38.5 and was fine
