Archie H Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Do you mean just rear wheel hops, or pedal kicks? If its rear wheel hops then do you find your jumping backwards with each hop? If you learn to pedal kick it helps a huge amount with backhops as it means you can adjust your stance and stay up for longer, else just keep practicing. If its pedal kicks then it's all about timing to start with. Try to balance on your back wheel for a second or two without the rear brake, then do it again and again. This will give you the confidence to release the brake and put in a crank to propel you forwards. Then work on body position and movement and you will be doing it nicely. If you could give slightly more detail then it will be easier to help, but sadly with trials, it's all about putting in the time over and over again until you learn it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 ha! Video should be up tomorrow (with more details on my Patreon channel), it's been a lot harder to explain backhops than any other moves I've filed so far haha...I'm dreading having to explain trackstands in a future tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Is it the case that the YouTube tutorial will tell you everything other than the part about using your brake? 16 hours ago, Ali C said: ha!

Clearly didn't use freewheels back then. Chainrings were so big back then that knee guards were more necessary than worrying about your flares catching. Although the flares did give the middleburns that solid polished look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
