trackstand, lock yer rear brake, put all yer weight onyour forward peddle keeping chain tention, compress your legs, leen the way you want to hop, let go of the brake and throw youself up and the way you want to hop,

pull the bars to your hips and then up while tucking yer legs.

landing on the front wheel is easier for me but limits your height in the hop.

if all that is abit much to think about (it took me a while to get right) lock both brakes and just chuck yourself.

learn to bunnyhop properly. the timing in the bar movment and the legs tucking are really important.

I put the same post on here a while ago. I've sort of learnt to do it you have to think where you want place your front wheel kick and take the bike side with you and what ever you can jump up side you can do it on a bike. I'm stuck on getting it to pedal on logs but i can do pallets and straight sided things. Hope this helped.

i ride as much of an old school styl as i can even goin to bash now and then

Bashguard to backwheel is a move for life. :D

There's nothing wrong with a good old bashing on a wall. If your going to tap a wall low you might as well just bunny hop into the damn thing. Your going to do just as much damage to your bike.

You will 1st need to find which way you are most comfortable with to your left or your right. Most people have there outside foot away from the wall so as not to clip your pedal off the wall, but it doesn't matter i do sidehops with my driving foot next to the wall, then just work your way up bigger walls starting with a comfortable size for learning the technique on.

I hope that gave you some help !!

It does matter in the long run, when you get to bigger objects.

hi mate, ill take you through how to side hop step by step

1. track stand parallel to the obstacle that you what to side hop .

2.look at the spot you want your front wheel to land on and focus on it .

3.still focusing on the point you want your front wheel to land on go up onto your back wheel

4.hop around on your back wheel until you feel well balanced .

5 give a big hop compress your weight onto your back tire (preload)

6.simultaneously give a big kick of the cranks release your brakes and throw your weight up and slightly to the side

7. tuck your legs up as far as you can.

8. try and absorb the landing to help keep your balance.

hope i have helped .
