dannytrialskid Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Hey, Ever since the christmas break with snow and me being ill for 2months i couldn't ride. So all in all didn't ride for about 3 months and recently been going on my bike when I can, which is not a lot due to the typical english weather. Basically, I've totally lost it. Can't do anything as big, confidence gone a bit too. Although I have been practicing hard and it is all coming back to me now, which is good. The one thing that isn't coming back is my damn balance. Mainly when I sidehop I just can't balance on the back wheel anymore, even when I'm two wheels on the floor preparing to go on rear wheel for sidehop I constantly move about. It's starting to do my head in, so basically what is the best way to get my balance back? Any sort of routine I will try, as long as I get my blady balance back. Thanks in advance, Danny.

Azarathal Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Whenever I've had a long break I start big. Try getting on a really thin ledge with a fair sized drop. You'll either learn to balance quick or fall. Also try endo hopping. I tend to find 5-6 consecutive hops on the front wheel makes my rear wheel control better, no idea why.

Little Yoshi Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 For back wheel control mark out a square on the ground using tape. Go on the back wheel and hop into the square and try to stay in it as long as you can. Make it smaller as you get better. And for 2 wheel try and ride along a curb as far as you you can.
