[shogun_gimp]

Hi, People. I jsut joined the forum and just realy started riding. I can back hop ok but when coming to move in the hop (you know move forwards) i can`t, but instead either wheely or flip it. Is there anyone who can give me a easy way of starting doing it or how to do it. Hope you know what i mean

Thanks for the help.

its basicaly all rythem mate, you need to out your comftorbal foot forwards wheelie to the backwheel then just get the rythem of pushing your foot forwards and hopping at the same time. if you feel like your going to fall off keep your feet on the pedals till you absolutly have to to take them off, k mate hope i helped .

get a little bit further over the back wheel so when you land with the brake on it brings you back to the balance point, your brain might tell you your going to fall off which is why i said in my first post keep your feet on the pedals .

Try doiing a little endo and then flicking the back end up quickly and remember to press your back brake then if your balance is good do a sharp little pedal and pull up by releasing the brake and when your in the air press your brake to stop you falling on your arse try and come back on the back wheel by leaning back of the rear axel then do the same as you did on the first one and once you get the hang of it it should come natural.

hope this helps i can really explane well

I'm still on getting used to hopping on the back wheel, have a tendency of hopping backwards, which is really annoying, but getting better at it everyday. Would love to pedalkick forwards.

just before you hop like normal release the brake and kick at the pedals but don't forget to put the brake back on or you'll be on your ass

You should go on Trash zen, theyv got a good technique to get you started, or just watch a few videos and see how its done.

Its basically down to practise, practise and more practise, once you do it once you will always be able to do it.
