monty221ti Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 sidehop to your "wrong foot side", get a nice preload and bounce, and pull the bike up underneath you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) that may help, also check out trashzen and ryan leech if he has any clips for me personally, recently i had a bit of a eureka moment where it seemed to just 'click'. I found that just feeling comfortable to jump vertically whilst on the back wheel (no walls or anything, just on the flat) improved my technique no end Edited December 10, 2010 by chris4stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just try and pedalkick sideways, not trying to get the height but distance, then adapt it. Or that's just how I learnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Earn it up steps rather than a wall. And watch this................ Edited December 10, 2010 by Matt Vandart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykid009 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 As above, I tried to find it sideways, and then go upwards. Also really exaggerate the dipping of the front wheel before you kick. Hope I helped James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macca811 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 when you go to sidehop do you release the brake and kick or keep it locked on? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris4stars Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) when you go to sidehop do you release the brake and kick or keep it locked on? thanks. yes, you release the back brake and kick...not doing so will result in going backwards - Edited December 17, 2010 by chris4stars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james sweet Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 you can also use the fron wheel to hook you up, or side hop to both wheels which is a little more difficult! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
