Blake Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Practice, it's so hard to explain trials moves because they're all a bit f**ked up. Best bet is to just force yourself into doing them. The advice I can give is start on something a decentish size to prevent bad habits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Thanks mate I have been watching some andrew dickey vids that i am going to slo mo the hell out of Problem is people good at it make it look so easy. I literally used to watch videos of people doing sidehops 10 hours a day and then would spend hours on end trying to do the same thing and couldn't get why it wasn't that easy. I've only now just gotten to the stage where it feels like how it looks in the videos, and I do a LOT of sidehops. Watch them a bit but the best way is to practice yourself, also film yourself and watch to see what you do wrong/where you can fix it. Always a good way I think. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also would you start doing up to fronts from a trackstand or a two pedal kicks for better momentum? I find the first really hard to do, the second is easier but jumping to land on the front wheel is kinda f**ked up as you said.

Blake Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 If you're focusing on just going up to front not gapping, its ideal for your front wheel to have to up if that makes sense. So you don't have to bow your front wheel lower onto the wall. So I dunno 35" maybe? Rolling doing a hop before is easiest to learn I felt, but varies person to person, do what is most comfortable for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely do a front wheel tap to 35'' (landing on the rear wheel). Edited August 11, 2014 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 No if it's too low you can't really learn the proper technique because you need it high enough so your back wheel actually leaves the ground before your front wheel touches the object. I'd say 30" at lowest though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say 30" at lowest though Thanks! When I first started practicing this technique (last week) I did a small pedal kick forwards, then after having landed lowered the front wheel just in front of a 40cm curb and then did another pedal kick and jumped up/forward onto the curb. After having landed on the front wheel I tried to get the rear wheel up high enough to do some hops on the front wheel... If what you're saying is the way to learn up to fronts I guess I still have to learn other things in order to do that.
