Pedal Hop Problem

[san]

Hi I have a problem doing pedal hops

I start lifting the front wheel with my bad foot

then when my good foot comes forward to give it a kick I can't give it a nice kick

what am i doing wrong??

Don't use your bad foot to start. Push hard with your good foot while pulling back on the bars. Naturally your good foot will have returned to a further back position allowing you to kick again.

Some people start wheely hopping with bad foot forward but when pedal hopping your good foot should ALWAYS be forward because if not you get a bad kick not rocket science

I found the best way to learn pedal hops is

roll along slowly then do a small endo

Come down and pull back and start doing little hops on the back wheel (pogos)

Then realise the rear brake and push hard with you good foot forward and hop forward at the same time. then apply the rear brake again before you land.

All this should be done with you good foot forward :)

Not sure if this makes sense to you but this is how i learnt.

(is this what you are trying to learn a sort of standing hop forward on the rear wheel?)
