Just ride The more you ride, the more time you're out there doing it, so the more time you've got to train your muscles to do it, and hone your reflexes so you learn how to move your body-weight around to keep balanced. If you're specifically looking for any 'exercise' type things you can do, just try hopping around using the blobs on pavements. Just get up on the back wheel, and then try and hop onto the spots - not just forward, but to the sides, diagonally, backwards, etc. All that ability to manipulate your bike translates into more control, which means you can just hold it on the back end for longer.

mike Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 edit!: blue pallets are a little bit higher than normal pallets btw lee.yeah but only slightly, like maybe 1inch, and it won't make much difference to you untill you start to pile them up, and eventually say when you get about 7 pallets, it'll be about the height of 8 normal pallets, i prefere using the normal pallets, they're a lot lighter to move around, and slightly thinner.Mike!!!

monkey gav Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Mark, do you sidehop with your drive side facing the wall or is that a switch sidehop just wondered Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I've ignored side hops for the past 6 months or so and I just started doing them yesterday and did 3 blue crates on my 3rd ever side hop and found out I am actually quite good, except I just go from back wheel without pedaling. Just get your balance on your back wheel and when you are comfortable with your position just push down and spring up. So yeah, do what OBM said ^^^.

I know I know, I "Should" do it towards my bad foot, but I find it way more comfortable doing it that way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
