cadbury's cream egg Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 if your going to front . or pivoting as you call it , you wil be able to do bigger sidehops . leave the two wheel sidehops till you get at a good height of sidehops . i can only got to two wheels and therefor cant go as high as i could if i was doing it to front wheel .leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 doing a sidehop to front should increase the height you can sidehop...although going to 2 wheels looks a lot cleaner, i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dec Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) seriously boys thanks for your comments but well both of your comment are worthless to me yes i know they look cleaner double wheel thats why i want to know how and maybe if you gave it a bit of effort and tuck you might get your sidehops higher so back to the topic does anyone have and tips on how to land double wheel on a side hop cheers boys Edited February 7, 2008 by dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristov Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 (edited) If you launch like you are going to rear then level out to bring both wheels on to the landing. Edited February 7, 2008 by kristov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd B Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I find that if you tuck earlier in the side hop then it brings both wheels onto the wall at the same time but still keep your weight slightly towards the front so if you dont make it then will land on your crank/pedal. And its all about the preload as well so just before you kick make sure that you are nice and low and mabie try keeping slightly further back over the wheel, this worked for me. Finally try changing how far you are away from the wall before the side hop this makes a huge difference, its takes a while for it to feel compfortable but its well worth th effort.
