Willy Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 neil is abnormal, he is the exception to the rule and i think he would go higher still if he went the other wayHe cant sidehop as high the other way, would be interesting to see if he could if he practiced...

Cap Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) i dont think it was intensionalActually it was as i preload i let go of the bars which forces the front wheel to the ground at an astonishing rate causing it to bounce which shoots me up at around 76mph allowing me to sidehop pretty much anything, reason i landed on crank is because its hard to balance without hands on bars working on a tap to backflip too people on the heysham ride saw my attempt, came pretty close.

spode@thinkbikes Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 By all means shoot me down here... but I'm starting to thinking that learning the tuck is actually counter-productive.Doing ANY sidehop, you will "tuck" to an extent. Not the extreme sideways tucks we see above, but certainly the straight up and down, well "bend" I suppose. But that's still a tuck, you're sucking your body up so there is room for the bike.I would have thought, you only need to start worrying about tucking more when you start hitting the bike on your bollocks? Surely that is an indication that you are hopping higher than you are capable of tucking? At which point you need to start pushing your body more sideways?That's 40".Once again, around 40". When I go higher than 40" (which I can't go far above..), the tuck seems to naturally happen because I made the height. Not the other way around. When Chai was teaching me how to get higher side hops he was explaining the different motions involved. One thing he suggested as an exercise was just springing upwards, with NO tuck at all. Don't even bend your legs. Basically the same motion as jumping up in the air for a header in football, but with a bike between your legs. That's your spring. You tuck at the very extent of your spring. So some of you guys have got pretty extreme tucks at heights well below 40". My inclination would be to suggest you need to work on your spring, not your tuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 ^^^ that isnt 40.but i agree, working on spring is far more important. i have to tuck now unfortunately though as my back wheel comes up very quickly and whack my arse if i dont go sideways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
