In trials -

1) balance - trackstand, rocking and hopping on the spot

2) bunnyhops

3) backhops

4) pedalkicks

5) pedal-ups (what you're calling zap-taps)

6) pinch-gaps (as well as just learning to preload properly)

7) sidehops

8) taps (on a stock)

9) gaps to front

10) up to front

11) hook

You could learn the last 3 in any order though, really.

<_< Forgot sidehops :P

Ah, thanks for that, been wondering what to work on :) whats a tip for getting height on a pedal kick?

Really, if you want to go for height, you need to use a different technique. However, if you preload correctly, you can get more height or distance from any move.

5) pedal-ups (what you're calling zap-taps)

I'm pretty sure they're different?

A zap tap is where you elevate the front wheel onto an object and then lift the back up separately once the front is on, and a pedal up is where you use the pedals to elevate the front wheel AND lift the bike (as well as using body weight), or something along those lines, is my understanding of it.

Maybe so. I just call that a roll up - much simpler to figure out what it is, lol.
