monkey gav Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 (edited) thats a sidehop, fairly easy at that height, that guy does his the wrong way round (in theory anyway)the drive side should be furthest away from the wall Edited February 3, 2006 by monkey gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 thats a sidehop, fairly easy at that height, that guy does his the wrong way round (in theory anyway)the drive side should be furthest away from the wallit doesn't matter which side is closest to the wall, it's the way you ride, (if you jump to the left or to the right), it's the same with feet, you find which way feels best for you.Mike!!!

smurftrial Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Thats the way your supposed to do it. That way you get more tuckI think the guy said that because once you get to bigger height then you catch your crank or pedal on the object your sidehopping up!

mr ailsbury Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 doesn't matter which wa you sidehop... I kick with my left foot and sidehop to the left mostly but I can sidehop to both sides (45 inch to me left and 41 to my right) I feel alot more compfy going to the same side as my kicking foot and it doesn't ever get in the way by the way, nice sidehop mate looks like you did it fairly easy so you could more than likely get bigger pretty easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 At-f**king-last, people are starting to realise that going to your opposite foot isn't the only way to sidehop... I always prefer going to my good-foot side, so why not, really? You can tuck down either way, and besides, when you look at people like Benito Ros and Vincent Hermance and Giaco Coustellier, there's not the ridiculously exagerrated tucking anyway, so it's not much of a problem ('cept it won't look cool to the majority of the UK scene )...

cvtrial Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 That ain't so hard to do as long as you practise!!! Find your own way to do it, if you have your left foot in front I would jump to the right side, if you have your right foot as chocolate foot, I would jump to the left!!!

Its strange though as I can sidehop higher over stuff to my right but when I go to my right up something I feel like Im going to fall off every time, I just cant get comfortable with it. When I do get the confidence to actually go to the right on a decent sized sidehop I bail out and break a mech hanger-not fun at all. It just doesnt feel right at all. I agree with what you said, a lot of people in the UK over exaggerate their tucks a lot, they go to front wheel and still tuck on relatively small walls. I can sidehop over a rope/bar/whatever about bar height, and I dont tuck to the side (watch my vids) so you dont necessarily need to tuck to get the height on a sidehop.
