Yo how long have you been riding buddy. I do the same thing but i mean i have only been riding for a year and a half maby a bit less and i just feel i can sidehop high enough at the moment, just think that if your not getting as high as you want then maby try to change your style but not if you think you can sidehop high enought at the moment. The problem people see with sidehoping the way you do is that you cant tuck the bike up as much because your leg gets in the way, But only the pros really sidehop like that. hope this helped conor .
