Bionic Balls Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 actually jump.....you preload then tuck...you need to jump up, fully extend the legs then tuck..then film it and put an improved vid up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'd say learning to do 40" your 'bad' way (left?) would be more useful than adding 3 more inches to your good way. Just my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidehop Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Conor you fanny... It takes time.Also looks like you go to both. So on the way up you tuck then... Not when you land. So inclusion my post is saying, suck the bike up on the way up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 heh, i can't even really jump to the side/front from the back wheel, only from both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavyn. Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Get your weight over the front more who cares about going to 2 wheels if you can only just sidehop 40 inches it's like trying to learn a tiger woods style backspin when you can only drive 200yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmks88 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 ive noticed that the pro riders land brakeless to 2 wheels sometimes, like aurelien did in his last video at 1.27does that landing give extra height or something? or is it just to look cool?
