dannytrialskid Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hello,Can you tell me how to side hop? Like in lots of detail?I have tried and tried. I can do the pedal kick to start off but i cant do the actual side hop. Please explain from beginning to the finish of this technique!It's the one where you are either on the rear wheel or you can do it from a stand still.Many Thanks,DannyP.S: If you can get a video tutorial then please post it here. Also the Ryan Leech one doesn't help me at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trialsben Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 It's a very similar technique to a straight bunnyhop just without the speed obviously!I found side-hopping with both wheels on the floor rather from back wheel was easiest to learn first.Get yourself lined up parallel from the obstacle so your as close as you can comfortably get. Get crouched down on the bike like your pre-loading yourself for the jump then spring up and try to pull your front wheel up and across onto the top of the obstacle. Put a pedal kick in as you spring up to help you drive upwards and pull the bike up infront of you.This video is for the bunnyhop but it's a very similar principle just standing still and with a pedal kick to get power rather than using speed.
