Phil H Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I've never really learnt to sidehop before properly and it has always been far behind my kickhops etc. So I put some time in the last couple of days and found I've gone straight up to 30" which I presume is just so because of other trials skills I have learnt that can be used for sidehops. Managed one 34/35" sidehop but that was abit lucky if i'm honest, couldn't make it again But anyway, what is the presumed 'average' and 'respectable' height for sidehopping?Cheers, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeNNy Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 About 40" or something like that...There was a 'How high can you sidehop' topic in NMC..And most people were around 40-44"I can get 42".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question I have now I think about it is: Which technique is mostly used? The sidehop technique where you are completely still on the back wheel and the sidehop? or The technique from where your wheels are flat, kickhop once, dip the front and sidehop straight up?Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun H Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I'm doing about 42" atm, but haven't really found anything a little higher to see if I can get it. Can sidehop over bar height stuff too.Practice going to backwheel too I used to be able to do that higher than I could sidehop I use the balancing on backwheel then gunning it technique, I find it gives me the most power but some people find other things help better. Just experiment and see what works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
