ilikeriding Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Practise is the obvious one which ll do the most goodsidehops are crap anyway though, gaps are way more fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiTe Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 just see lots of side vids and get the technique. To improve your ups you just have to spend hours beside the wall. Repeat lots of ups in a wall you can up easy and you'll get the confidence you need to try on a bit higher. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I've found different geo's on different bikes have different techniques. EG on my zona I would hardy drop the front end and still power up, whereas now on my hydroxx I find myself dawdling with the front end dropped quite a bit.It is practise at the end of the day. as is the generic answer to everything.

trials-lover-josh Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 i spose its more power pushing up but im only learning too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy d Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Practise, watch better riders than you, and watch videos.But I think, most importantly, don't get bogged down by it if you're struggling. Take some time to work on some other moves and come back to it. Side hops are obviously a really useful thing to be good at but don't neglect everything else. Just keeping on at the same thing can take its toll on your motivation as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
