twinky trials Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) well when you lean back and your bike comes from underneath you, that means you are leaning back too far so lean back a bit lesswell if your back tyre is thick that should mean you have more to balance onand your bike is quite heavy Edited February 1, 2008 by twinky trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinky trials Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you take it off that means you will have to by a new rear tyreDoes the thicker your rear tyre mean the better you can balance on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 power hoppings hard for me and i think its because of my back tyre or my upper body stregnth i dont lift my weight backwards enough im told anybody else have any ideaswhat exactly do you mean by power hop? might make helping you a little easier. by the sonds of it your tyre is fine, its propbably more to do with your technique. so explain exactly what you trying to do and whats not going right.wen u go to kik poosh all your body to the frunt of the bike and lift then it shood be esya really suggest you use a spell checker of some description, or just take a little longer over your posts and check them yourself, your get validated much sooner if your spelling is good, because what your trying to say is relevant.

shogun rider Posted February 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 a power hop is where you bounce on the back tyre basically and im lean to far back or pushing to much weight to the front.i can make the stance but jost cant lift of the ground. the most i've lifted off the ground is about 4 inches..lola power hop is basically bouncing on the back tyre.ive been taught by a closest pal and he says i lean too far back or im pushing to far forward but when i do get in posistion i can only hop about 4 inches off the ground one tim im just not lifting up enough.

It's pedalkicks (forwards hops on back wheel) where you want anything like distance or heightas for getting the balance to do it many times, practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise and more practise Edited February 6, 2008 by Disasterboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andaba Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) Just make sure that your pedals are in the right place when you push off. Not too high, but not horizontal either.And push your body forwards then upwards to gain the most distance and height.And yeah - practice Edited February 6, 2008 by Andaba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinky trials Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 All you gotta do is practice and COME OUT!!!!You never come out how do you think you are going to get better if you don't come out and ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
