Learn to 360 spin first. Just do a 180 spin, but try to keep the front wheel up (e.g. 180 spin, kept to backwheel). Then all you need to do is getting used to putting as much power as your body can into that twist, but after the first 180, kind of "fall back" on yourself.

Once you can 360 spin, youre basically there- you just need to do it fast, and put a hop in ;)

Only just learnt 180's myself without a pedal kick on my new pitbull, the only advice I can give is keep checking your thread and someone with more experience than me should come along ;)

Good luck learning and happy riding ;) :)

I have just learnt 360 spins bit sketchy some times but hey. Ill keep that in mind thanks. Anyone got any info on the blunts to?

Thats great if you can 360 spin. My tip for learning to add that extra 180 onto however much you can spin- try to do your current best spin, but held to rear wheel! E.g. in your case, try to go a 360 spin but hold to rear wheel- if you get enough power in, then when you learn back to hold to rear wheel, the momentum you have may well be enough to get it all the way round to 540, but thats as big a spin as I have ever done (I know others have done 720s etc).

If you can get over a 360, perhaps even a 540 spin dialled, then you have gained sufficient skill in gaining the spinning momentum, and should be able to try a 360 hop. Literally all it is is a spin, but with a hop.

huh? do u mean riding at a wall then bunyhopping onto it on your back wheel then jumping back into fakie (like a bmx abubaca) or something completely different?

yeah well either to back wheel or both wheels landing verticle and fakie off. It has no use in trials but hey to me trials is all about experimenting. Cheers (Y)

well the way i find easiest ot do these is to ride just a little bit faster than walking pace the pull on the bars more than u would for a normal bunnyhop. when they get quite high jump and push the bars up in front of you a bit. as they go forwards they naturally move the bike to a more vertical position.

all you have to do now is keep a hold of the brake and bend your knees as you land. when your on the wall on your back wheel you need to bend your knees a bit more and pull on the bars as you bend them, this will start to make the bike lean backwards. as it starts getting to the point where you think your going over jump backwards and push your bars towards your ankles a little, this will level the wheels out and will let you fakie away.

if you find it hard to keep on the back wheel enough to pull backwards once you on the wall, a little tip is to ride a little bit faster and jump earlier this should giv your bike a little more time to move to a vertical position before you land. only thing with doing it faster is you also need to lean back more and bend your knees more when you land.

if you go out and try this you should get it pretty quickly as its not all that hard to do. hope it helps. <_<
