mat hudson Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 can you do a normal backhop? i'll asume you can.right. before you hop, lower the front end amd cock the pedal back. now. kick down on the pedals, lift the front end and hop. recock the pedals and do it again.

Trials Boy Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 my mate james is a dirt jump rider and he learnt to pedal hop in 5 minutes He's 15 and seriously good on a bike, i tought him and he learnt it straight away, just like that. His max pedal hops on a trials bike is 45 in a row, he doesnt even have a trials bike!He has some balance im telling you!!!Getting back to the topic, anyway, how good is your balance? What i learnt was to stand still on the bike, then kick the front up hard and try and get the backwheel off the floor, if its off, you've mastered it! Good luck!

anzo Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I don't know how quick other people learn, but I mastered it in about 2 weeks. It was odd, one minute I was practicing, then I did it and found my balancing point and I've been able to do it ever since, forward, backwards, sides ect.All fun...

earsy104 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 ooooh the good old days i remember when i couldnt pedal hop forwards now i can just sit back and relax...anyway enough of 'this is my life' crapthe real tip is to get on your back wheel and if you can just back hop or just hop on your backwheel but in know apparent direction just like many people say kick your pedal forward it took me about a week to get the basics of it so dont give up......just get up on your back wheel and kick your pedals forward remebering to press your back brake as soon as you land.sorry for the essay :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 He said knackered not naked lolTook me about 3 months cause I didn't have anyone to learn off, then showed trialsboy560 and he learnt in about an hour the wanker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
