ooo Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I have got to the stage where I can go from a track stand to stood vertically on my rear wheel and balance for a few seconds. But normal jumping doesn't feel right, it pulls the bike back down to the ground. Is it just my body/ pedal position or are rear wheel hops not done by jumping but some other way of generating the up down momentum. If any one can shed any light on this, I would be well grateful, all opinions are appreciated. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onza pro series guy Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 try kind of scooping the back wheel with the pedals more on your upsweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlperkins Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 its not jumping, its more like flexing your calves. the bouncing effect is caused by they tyres mostly. dont try to balance on the back wheel then just do a series of jumps, you'll need your legs/calves to be loose to bounce smoothly.

Endohopper Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 It sounds like you're overly reliant on your arms , this should be all in the legs/ ankles . This article on Trashzen should be really helpful . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
