Hopping

There are quite a few ways of getting onto the backwheel to practice back hops.

One for absolute beginners is to put your front wheel on a small ledge, lean backwards so you are on just your back wheel, find your balance and then hop to keep yourself balanced.

Other ways of getting onto the backwheel include:

Endoing with the back brake held, as it ends, bring the back wheel down and roll onto it, once finding your balance do small hops.

Just locking the brakes and rolling onto the backwheel then continues by hops.

The main thing with a backhop is balance, you need to hold your butt over the back wheel and do very small and fine hops. The hops combined with your position are what keep you balanced.
