Its just concentrating enough to not hop a thousand times before sidhopping a wall. I tend to re-do lines again and again till i've got the amount of correction hops right down.

I tend to re-do lines again and again till i've got the amount of correction hops right down.I didn't explain very well...Manifesto as a riding style isn't shit - I mean it's shit as an idea for a competition theme as it's how I try to ride anyway and it means everyones aiming for something similar.For me, 'trials' riding looks stupid with loads of little hops on the spot, sidehops etc... Fine for competitions but I wouldn't want to be out riding on the street like that...A mate and I have been trying a style similar but taking it further, where there's no little hops on the spot and wherever possible you don't use pedal strokes.I stand by anything that encourages creative, smooth riding and moves away from stupid little hops, sidehops, tape measures, mods (sorry)...
