Advice On Higher Hooks


George ZHI

Recommended Posts

as i said today riding with you, try and go fast and have more of a kick so you can get your back wheel higher up the wall! also make sure soon as your front wheel is on top of wall put all your force to the front end and go right over!

and go at a slight angle this also helps!

im not an expert so i might be wrong anyway haaa

First off is speed, you need a good amount of momentum going into the wall to get you up the wall, as with backwheeling or any other move in trials (of course, the momentum you create must be used accordingly with technique).

The main aim when hooking is getting your weight over the front end of the bike when in hook position, to physically lever your bike up.

The technique that I managed to grasp is to hit the wall with lots of weight over the front (on steeper walls going at an angle so you bad foot ends up close to the wall is good, again look at videos and you will see this natural angle in most cases), then once in hook position, immediately use your momentum to endo the rest of the bike up, and then from here just land it or switch it.

TrashZen has some good pictures and animations for references.

Now get sorted and practice.
