I can hop on the rear wheel but not for long as it consumes alot of energy... When i started i did an endo then pulled it onto the back wheel, but I now do it by puttin my good foot at the 11oclock position on the cranks. Then I lean forward slightly then when i kick i lean backwards and before the bike goes under me I slam the rear brake on, after that i start hopping until i feel right to do a pedal kick. Hope that helped
