Damon W Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 just out of interest i was wondering what people consider a BIG sidehop, and what they have sidehopped? :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colly Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 sidehopped 32inch one day to back wheel on my local libary wall :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philking Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 sided hops really aren't my thing but i have been practicing recently, best is about 38 inches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Haha, can you not tell from people's reactions that you're a sidehop monster Damon?! I'd say 'high' sidehops have taken a new turn with Craig and Neil's efforts but for us mere mortals it's a different story! On stock I can probably do a bit over 45" and a bit higher on mod.

Dai the Socket Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 (edited) sided hops really aren't my thing but i have been practicing recently, best is about 38 inches. ← Mine's about that. Maybe 37inches. On my Zoo Python 20" :"> I know it's nothing special, i'm working on it :turned: Edited May 17, 2005 by mod661 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Arnold Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 i can do around 40 :turned: i seem to be stuck at 40 inches i cant get anythigher :) anyone got tips? cheers Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Morris Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 My record was about 12 inches 2 weeks ago, but after a lot of practising I've got it up to 29 inches, and I reckon I could go a little bit higher every time I go out and work on them. I believe a high sidehop to be anything over 37 inches, but I've seen people making 48 inches look fairly routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I have done 6 pallet before, however high that is! Was trying one a couple of inches above my bar height (no idea how high my bars are) at the weekend, but I kept taking my foot off for some reason :turned: but I know I can get it, and also felt I could go higher, just gotta learn to keep that foot on hahaha this is on 24" btw mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthewholdsworth Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 but I kept taking my foot off for some reason but I know I can get it, and also felt I could go higher, just gotta learn to keep that foot on hahaha know exactly what u mean, i used to be able to do over handlebar height on my zero but have only just got back to that level on me 26ghz after a year of trying, dunno how high that is, im thinking of using spds to keep my flippin feet on (this is a joke for those who may think im serious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've done about 41/42 onto something. Can comfortably do 37/38 or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OD404 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 a curb :"> ← You're not the only one :turned: I just don't seem to have any enthusiasm over sidehops, so I've never really practiced them. The last few attempts I've had were somewhat shocking mind. Think I may have found something to learn over the summer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 i think im doing about 41" tops these days on a T-Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 My limit is about 40 inches, and i cant do that height every time :"> I have raised this issue before in another topic, but why do the majority of people sidehop the opposite way to their front foot? Is there any reason why this would hinder my progress? I have my left foot forward and sidehop to the left... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any reason why this would hinder my progress? ← Its a lot easier to hit your foot on the way up like that. Im crap at sidehopping, haven't measured one for ages. Done about 36" before I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
