danny kearns? how is a stock easier to sidehop ever? I can't think of anyone who can sidehop a 26" higher than they can a 20" (assuming they regularly ride both!)

don't count (Y)

Please. Im talking from personal experience. It is the truth, it happened to me, I am sure Gaz M will back me up on this comment as well.

I don't know why stock is easier to sidehop it just is for some reason. :S . If your not a weak geezer then you will sidehop one higher.

Stock is actually easier to sidehop as i have found when i have recently moved to stock. I think on off sidehops do count, because the due fact that you have actually made the height and your tucking your bollox off to keep on top of the wall shows that you are pushing your self as far as you can go which is what i like to see.

Not really? Because it's fashion to do the whole way overly tucked thing now, people do it on shit at anything above wheel-height now, it seems. As a result, it's not "The highest you can do", because you can still push it further, if you see what I mean? If you can't stick it on the wall, you haven't made it. It's exactly the same as doing a backwheel and not staying on the wall with that. If you don't hold it on the wall, you aren't doing it right. It's the same in both instances. The aim is to hop onto the wall, then continue. If you hop onto the wall but have to go straight off it because your f**king gash looking technique (not directed at you personally Danny, I mean the collective whole of the wankers who try and do ultra tweaked sidehops...) means that you end up with your weight in a shit position on your bike, you haven't done a sidehop. It's one of my pet-peeves with trials, almost as bad as people editing videos so they cut just before they blatantly f**k up a gap or sidehop. Seems to be getting popular again. Not cool.

Either way: Sidehops that aren't held = not a sidehop.

It counts as a sideways Abubika (?spelling), if your feet dont leave the pedals then t must be a move of some kind.

Doesn't count as a "sideways abubaca", unless you purposefully meant to f**k up a sidehop, in which case you're stupid? It's the same as not making a line in a comp, and hopping backwards away from it without putting your foot down so you don't lose a mark. Doing that isn't a different trick or whatever, you're just saving a situation. It just seems that now it's cool to have to save a badly done sidehop.

Either way, we all do shit differently I guess :rolleyes:

But thats not always the case. So your saying people who tuck a stupid amount on a 50" wall are tucking because it looks good and there not strugiling and trying there hardest to get up the wall ?

Tucking and the on/off technique is used because people ARE pushing themseleves as far as they can go. Of course this or any other thread on this type of thing will neevr end in harmony because some people agreew ith it and others don't but in my opinion its counts.

In my opinion it depends what you sidehop to.

If you are landing on something thing (I.e a rail) then I believe it can be accepted to naturally hop off, and perhaps under some circumstances with walls.

But what about when people sidehop to a solid ledge (I mean sidehopping onto something that isn't thin, like a pallet set-up), I've seen on numerous occasions where instead of tucking to control the momentum from the sidehop, the person will land and then hop a couple of times on both wheels in the desired direction to keep themselves balanced, surely this is a similar action to hopping off of a wall?

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! If you stay on the wall, you made it. No matter how many correction hops it takes, if you're up on the wall you're up. If you jump down you never made the sidehop!

But what if you do correctional hops on a thin wall, which then leads to dropping off the other side in the action of?

You can get the height so clearly, but cant keep the height. END OF.

NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT COMP RULES!

If your in a comp you dont go for the 50 inch sidehop, you go for the 10inch 50 rocks at the side of it.
