I am trying to improve my curb/stair hopping skills. I've managed to
hop up a 5" curb a few times during one "curb ramming session".
No, I haven't heard the thunk of the rim yet... nothing but tire so far.

I approach the curb at a moderate rate, then right as the tire makes contact
with the curb I jump while pulling on the front and back of my seat. Do I need
to work on hopping in place more and try to increase my height? It seems like
it should be easier and less painful(crunch).

Any thoughts? Oh yeah my uni is a 24" miyata.
