Big Sidehops

[Captain Scarlet]

I learnt on a tiny wall that I was really confident with, just did it over to get the technique correct.

I went to a bigger wall that really tested my technique, kept on doing it but putting my foot on the wall each time (not attempting to land it), then one time I forgot to put my foot down and I landed the sidehop.

Tadah!

But I couldn't get much height this way.

So I learnt in the direction of my forward foot, which was more controlled but looked wank, and I landed front wheel first, I did get a 33" sidehop out of it, but I went back to the old technique despite how hard it was.

I tried the old technique on a 30" wall (which was shizz scary), but I went for it and made it.

Like Danny said, overcoming fear and going for it is the way to get bigger.

I still am not 100% confident on sidehops, but I'll get there once I ride more.

Just have a good day riding, or get the image in your mind of "Whats the worst that could happen?".
