Sidehopping

[miket-raptorman]

im confused about the technique from your back wheel do you jump to your front, both or your back wheel(slightly) because i can do it all ways but whcich should i develop

well i think you can get higher if you go to 2 wheels,to back wheel will mean you can sidehop onto smalller lenghted stuff and front wheel is just easier to learn with i suppose.

well thats how it is to me.

learn to side hop with both wheels first by just leaning your hips into the frame, shifting your weight to the same side and hopping. then just straighten everything up, once you can do this try doing it in a same way you bunnyhop i.e. lifting the front and then the rear, shifting your body to the side in the same way.

once youve got that sorted and you can do pedal hops on the rear wheel with some control, try combing the weight movment that you learnt berfore with a normal pedal hop, but instead of using you preload and pedal kick to move forwads use the motion to lift the bike up moving your weight to the side and tucking the bike underneath you.

I`ve only been sidehopping for about 4 month and I can now get 43 inch so I hope this post helps.

Thanks
