Unicycle Hopping Over Small Objects

After you've mastered a hopping, over the lines in the concrete or other things like that, flat objects, you're going to need to go ahead and progress to small objects. What you're going to do, is you're going to combine the technique of hopping, from a straight stall, and doing bunny hops because when you come up to, I have a tree branch here, a small limb that I'm going to hop over. When I come to this, I'm not just going to ride straight up to it and hop over it because, a lot of times, I'm going to be on uneven ground, that would be convenient or it would be really difficult to do that, when my pedals when be in the right position. I'm going to ride up close to it, get my pedals in the right position and then I'm going to hop over to it, until I'm positioned correctly, then I'm going to let my body lean over the branch, because that's the direction I want to bring the unicycle, and then when I've leaned over, to what I think is enough, I'm going to hop up with the unicycle and carry it all the way over the branch with me. It looks like this. I want my pedals in the right position and then I'm going to hop over to the branch. Notice I'm not using bunny hops, I'm stalling and hopping. Then go over it, after I think that I've leaned enough, and then you can ride off. That's how you hop over small objects.
