Danny00135 Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Don't try hopping in the direction you want to go.. Or you'll find you go all over the place Turn your handlebars in the direction you want to go whilst hopping and it'll automatically do it.. It's ridiculously easy to to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh dale Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 (edited) Try turning your handle bars slightly while on the back wheel, and move your hips accordingly , that's how i learnt it , You will soon pick it up Edited April 15, 2013 by Josh dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct answer is A, I'll try find a video EDIT: adding onto that, don't just hold it in the same place turned.. Keep turning them a small amount each hop EDIT2: Go to 1:40 You can really see it there! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHWAgkE2JdQ Edited April 15, 2013 by Danny00135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 The correct answer is A, I'll try find a video What you mean here Brad, is that the answer is B as the video you posted demonstrates The end of that video is a good demonstration of turning on the back wheel, watch the way he twists his body as he picks the bike up and the bike turns in the air. Pretty sure YouTube has a slow mo function now too, which could be very helpful for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
