ilikeriding Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Practise, if you're only at kerb height you're blatently not putting the effort in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 by hopping sideways don't jus think about height think about length acroos aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 get 2-3 pallets and stack them up. be at an angle to the pallets so your front wheel is closer to the pallets than your back, set up on the backwheel, crouch backwards, lowering the bars then pull all your weight up and pull up on the bars as hard as you can and tuck your legs up so the back end can follow up. and shift your weight towards the palets so you land on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 bit complecated but it helping thnx . jamesit seems it but you do most of it out of instinct, best ways just to go at things thinking you'll make it + won't get hurt, 'cause on smaller sidehops the most you'll do is roll over *oh the pain* it's when you go bigger you need to worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenzo604 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) linkThis is all you will ever need to know to get yourself side hopping.edit,For bigger side hops use Damon W's guide."rite:get on backwheel sort your sen out, pull the bike higher then normal so its more vertical, and stall like that for as long as poss...then smash your pedals hard as u can!! and pull in with your arm then smash em out again (this'l cuase the bike the jump up)now think about tryin to smack your sen in the forhead with your forward legs knee (this will make your legs tuck upwards and to the side)rite pressuming ur not a weak lil weaner and ur up push the bike into a tilt and turn your front wheelur up look at your m8s with a massive cheesy, then post £20 to me for tutoring you.."
