TrialsIsHard Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 best way to learn is to watch videos and practice.. Have a look at some sidehops and look at people's technique, before they take off they will be completely stationary and balanced. Before dropping their weight down low, and explosively jumping up, tucking the bike up underneath them. Look at this at 0:36 -Always admired Ben Savage's sidehop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 It doesn't matter, although IMO onto two looks much nicer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 People say you should do it to the opposite of your good foot. It seems to help a little when tucking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I say the best way is to learn it to the both sides...And also it´s useful to use your front wheel to pull back wheel higher,if you do it right it doesn´t even look that bad.But as with everything, it can take some time to get it right.

Stebass Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Personally I find that natural riders usually go to front then pivot, allows to put rear wheel exactly were you want it, street riders usually go to two as its not exactly mm perfect movements needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 To two wheels looks much nicer / smoother. Front wheel then second wheel doesn't, to me, class as a "real" sidehop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 So this isn´t sidehop to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Of course, as the time between the front wheel touching the floor and the back was fast as f**k. But when people sidehop and it takes around a second for the rear to touch after the front then to me I don't class that as a traditional sidehop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must agree, when people do it to that technique i think it almost adds another step into the move making it harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
