Tom Booth Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Sidehop or upto rear, I probably could do them if I tried, but I dunno what it is that stops me doing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Some days i go out on a session and just concentrate on the sh*t i can't do, it fooking well depresses me. But every now and then i get a glimmer of hope.Its that feeling i get every now and then that keeps me doing this bizarre sport.All that above.....is exactly how it is statics to rear on my bad side .....just feels weird....but i really should learn more stuff like this.....opposite sides and opposite crank stuff......will help alot with compsDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 riding and static 180´s, front wheel hops even though i practise them quite alot, manuals..and can´t pidgeon higher than 2 pallets, that gets me the worst I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Front wheel hops, manuals (It took me over 2 years to get wheelies - over a decade of trying later, the longest manual I've done is about 40 feet), high sidehops (past 30"), bailing off my bike when things go wrong rather than going down with the ship, anything that involves a fall of more than 3 feet if it goes wrong (Linked to previous item). I've been riding trials for something like 12 years - I'm only on my second trials specific frame though, so I've seen more improvement in the past 2 years than the previous 5...

Pashley26 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) I can't ride trials.Never got the hang of Kick Hops, just didn't have the balance. Edited February 26, 2009 by Pashley26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Drops are easy.They're virtually the same, no matter what height.Mind, I've still not done a drop larger than I am I don't think it'd be a problem though. Except, I land rather heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Tomo Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'm scared to try backwheeling :$ I think it's incase I go backwards or I'm afraid to lift up the back wheel so fast. Any tips for backwheeling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Can't sidehop. I naturally go to my left and I'm left foot forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Can't sidehop. I naturally go to my left and I'm left foot forward I was like that, I learnt to go the other way and can now sidehop both ways whoopee Try to learn it really wasnt that hard.Still cant get much more than 38" either way on a sidehop though I cant sidehop to front to back aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I can't manual, bunnyhop to back or tap.Never tried tapping thoug, that's probably whyI'm crap at getting the front wheel up while moving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I cant do anything that requires set-up hops, like sidehops, gaps ect. I have to just do one hop and go. If I hop more than once, I can't put any power down at all! Can't tap or backwheel any higher than bar height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 things to front wheel, that said i'm king at lurching and sidehops could do with learning to backwheel things again too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Burrows Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think like everyone I have strengths and weaknesses, but I can't think of any move in particular that I really want to learn. The main area I want to improve is my riding mindset to allow me to push the limits harder and improve faster. After over 9 years of trials I think I can do most techniques to at least some level. I'm not very good at switchfoot, which is really usefull in comps. Its actually quite sad to be struggling to think of things i want to learn, anybody got any suggestions for new moves?!?

bikeperson45 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I can't set-up hop either, I can hop just on the ground, just not to begin a gap or summin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoster Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) i lose too much energy on trackstand. i'm hopping like a gorilla, even though i'm not actually at a beginner phase..edit:oh! and front pogos, when i lean enough i can do them quite well, but usually i'm afraid of going too far over the bars Edited February 26, 2009 by zoster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
