LiamWood! Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) 1) Try to set up with as little correctional/balance hops as you can,2) Preload down by bending you knees3) By kicking the pedals spring yourself upwards whilst sucking the bike in and over to the side that your hopping to4) Land without the front brake on and you can roll anyway if you land slightly off balance.That should help you.

steve g Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hi, ive been riding for ages and found sidehops impossible, until i got my head around leaning your weight.So my tip is: once on your rear wheel try to lean your weight over the object whilst keeping the bike straight. Within a week of figuring this out i could sidehop walls above the top of my headtube, so give it a shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The tip is to learn to jump sideways first. It's pretty simple... as you preload, lean, as you jump, keep leaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willis-gu Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I land with both my brakes on when i am going bigger, sometimes rolling your side hops out makes you loose balance, its all personal prefference really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
