Yah you pick it up over time just keep going and going and soon you will be able to hop as high as you want. :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Stretch a bit first, relax... don't tense up. Loose muscles help by giving more room for compression, meaning more force is put into jumping. Also helps with smoothness.Try and exagerate the move slightly, aim to jump higher than you need to and you'll make it much easier. Lean back and down more while on the rear wheel before jumping forwards (called preloading), this in much the same way as stretched muscles, gives you more room for leverage as you pull yourself forwards, which in turn gives you more momentum.Practise helps a lot too.
