!!()`/D Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Pull the handlebar up and closer to your chest and put your bodyweight further towards the back of the bike. (Buttocks over rear wheel) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 It may be that you have too many spacers or that your stem is too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 At first you want to have you bum over the rear wheel as said, but the ideal. position is standing up abit taller than that. The bars should be into your chest and you shouldn't be crouched back tucked down. When starting out people normally crouch right over the back wheel when backhopping but you will develop out of it.
