basher Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Haha i read that you said your bike was to heavey and thought o he must be on a mountainbike and trying to use it for trials then so you said tmag and thought what a tosser. You will never be a good rider by making excuses about why you cant do anything, your bike isnt the problem its you. If you look at old school vids you will see the crazy stuff people where doing on what looks like a normal mountain bike.Go out and ride with people who are better than you and they will be able to tell you first hand what your doing wrong and show you how to improve. You will find it 3 times as fast than reading things on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unissamog Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I good resource if you can't find anyone to ride with (the best way to push yourself and improve) is Trashzen.com. They have page all about getting onto the rear wheel and staying there.http://www.trashzen.com/biketrial-pogos-back.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neomember Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) This shouldn't be a problem!Bend the arms more, get closer to the bike to get the bike more upright.I can backhop on my 36lbs bike, no problem!... and i'm a noob!!I did blame my bike a lot at first, but there's no reason(me being the problem).Not for backhops anyway.And you can hop on the front wheel??

Rob Brodie Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 the weight of the bike shouldnt make much difference.i went from a zona zip to a koxx xtp then back to the zona which is so much heavier but it reli doesnt make much difference untill u get to gaps ect.hope i was some help..rob..

Ben Lazenby Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Yer, It's you mate. Everybody had to learn hopping on the back wheel. Once you have dialed it, Trials will become much more fun.You should be able to hop on the back wheel on any bike when learning.It's the most important thing in trials in my opinion.Hope iv'e helped Thnaks Ben.

monty-james Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 maybe watch videos of trials riding on youtube, or search 'learn to pedal hop'' or ''how to pedal hop'' and watch better riders pedal hop (or as i call it ''skipy'') But theres nothing to it really you just hover your finger over the rear brake leaver pedal and pull up really then pull the back brake in when landing and make sure you are leaning back enough to continuosly skipy/pedal hop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trix Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Remember this; note vvvvvYou can hop on the BACK, not the front, I suggest you learn the difference before you seriously injure yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0zzy Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 take your time some people learn at different speeds and times try riding with better people, and most of all have fun on your bike if your not having fun while learning you tend to blame it on your bike.

kona1991 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I learnt to kick hop on a 20", i didnt own it. It was my mates and i just had a go now and again.Now i can kick hop on anything with a half decent gearing.the easiest way has to be to do a cradle then just kick forward.The break/kick/breaking is a bit hard to get used to though.

Tomm Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I learnt to front-hop before I could back-hop. It's not that weird, but then again backhopping is much more useful.Stop blaming the bike and practise more!There are plenty of sites/threads on here that will teach you how to backhop. Use the search/google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
