Chair Hop

This trick takes a bit of practice but is well worth the effort. It’s especially useful on extra high curbs and steps or times when a run up isn’t possible. First get your front wheels on top of the step, and then lift yourself out of the chair with your hands on the tire/hand rim. Jump up using your arms and pull the chair up underneath yourself. It takes practice and timing but don’t give up, it’s better spending time learning it than sitting outside in the cold waiting for help.
