staphan Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi, I'm starting to learn sidehops myself and I'm not very good at it. Try to do them from both wheels at first, that way it's easier to get the hang of it. I started practicing on curbs and it really felt awkward in the beginning, but I learnt by thinking it through in my head right before I hopped. If you haven't already, read this. You start by trackstanding next to the object, then lean back as far as you can and "cock" the pedal a little so that you will be able to kick it once you start the actual hop.While jumping up with your body, push the pedal forwards and lift the handlebars with straight arms as you jump. This was a crucial thing for me before I could move on to larger objects. You'll want to lift the handlebars with your own upwards momentum.Next, when your front wheel has cleared the height of the curb, bring the back end up as in a bunnyhop, while placing the front down with your arms. It's complicated at first, to do it all in the right order and combine it into a nice sidehop, but if you keep practicing with those things in mind, you WILL get it eventually. And when you do, it's a really great feeling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
