OscarWood(: Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hello could anyone help me on how to pedal hop/kick. Cant do it this way ... Start on a flat ground, lift the front wheel by just kicking firmly once in your driving pedal and leaning back, then pull the rear brake when you reach a standing position. From that position on the rear wheel, let the front wheel drop a little bit by leaning forward, and before it touches the ground, release briefly the brakes and give another kick in your driving pedal (then brakes full on again) or on my front wheel then to my back and trying to pedal hop. please help, Cheers Oscar:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 (edited) what i did when i was learning is to do a small endo then pull back into upright position balanced on the rear wheel, after you can bounce on the spot quite easily on the rear and get used to the balance point etc.. you can drop the front end a little and then release the brake whilst giving a kick and jumping. its all about the timing and the dropping of the front end. a lot of the time it will just feel 'off' and awkward, this will get better as your timing gets better. dont let failure get you down hope this helps, Carl. edit: if you cant bounce on the spot you probably wont be able to pedal kick, just get used to hopping first, then try hopping forward in very small measurements without pedal kicking, then introduce the kick.

Sound advice, I'm at that stage now jumping forward but can't always get a kick... Good for your arms if nowt else! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
