i used to be right foot forward and side hop to the right....could get 40 inch that way.........then i just couldent get any higher... so i switched to side hoping to my left side and to start with i only got like 20 inches........i really wanted to go back to the right side because i done them bigger .but i made my self stick to the right side and after a while it felt good and normal....then i started to side hop much much bigger Dave
