Backgren Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Good photos, and a good sidehop. I'd say its done to the "wrong" side, the hard side which is even better. It looks abit funny that you only wear one shinguard (I know why, but it looks slightly odd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks abit funny that you only wear one shinguard (I know why, but it looks slightly odd) ← Yeah - i agree when you say it's the wrong way as i can go to the left (not as good). I find that i only ever need one shinn guard (the leg you kick with), but the guard gets you all sorts of attention! (its like MJ wearing one white glove) LOL (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaroncosbey Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Finally got this one on vid......this is practicing in the garden! enjoy 2.6Mb :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 why is sidehopping to the same side as your kicking foot ''wrong''???? :blink: ToM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 Because people are f**ktards? People still tell me I'm sidehopping the wrong way by going to my front foot, but it works for me so f**k 'em. Some people give some shitty excuse about it being easier to go to pedal, but sidehops to pedal are the worst thing in the world, ever. How come you took off off of a raised block, Aaron (video before anyone says "Where")? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Y) ← yeah, doing the side hop with out the flagstone is my claim to fame - (48"). but its only ever happened twice! :blink: the vid was taken after a couple of hours of riding - its more of a consistencey thing. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-L-B Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 sidehopping to the side of your front foot can't be that bad if you consider how high Neil Tunnicliffe goes. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thechink Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 you sidehoped to front wheel. (N) simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 why dont you sidehop that high without then!!! :) Good pic, and nice side hop. I sidehop best to my right with my right foot forward aswell, it just feels nicer. I can do it both ways but slightly higher to the right. Only bad thing for me is hitting the mech. I also think its only a problem going to your good foots side when you need to side hop up something at a corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaroncosbey Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) you sidehoped to front wheel. :lol: simon ← I'd like to see you do that with a 26" bike you stupid chink :) thanks everyone else for the complements :unsure: Edited July 24, 2005 by aaroncosbey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
