Its not really a technique that can be taught as easily as say a sidehop or a simple pedal kick as theres many different ways of going about doing them. Some people start parallel to the wall then turn 90 degrees in the air, some people go at 45 degrees the whole time some people do a pre-hop and eveyrone has their body in a different position.Basically just keep throwing yourself up things and try and use your arms as much as possible for the jump so most of the upwards force is generated by pulling on the bars.

As Kris De Boats says, it's a weird one in that you can go for it a few different ways. Depending on how you ride individually, one of these may be more suited to you than others. Head out, find a wall that gets gradually bigger (or a small selection of walls of similar heights) and play around. Sooner or later it should start to click, and you'll be away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yeah its hard to learn to hop higher you just have to get used to really ripping the bike with you when you jump.Though its kind of counter intuitive i find it helps to start a little farther from the wall so you can preload a little more.

Adrian Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 its just pure practice, and the motivation and confidence to keep trying to go bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
