now im not the best person at sidehops but im O.K at them i suppose anyway.... if you want to sidehop up high things then it helps alot if you kneel right down to the bike BUT... if in a comp then you dont realy need to sidehop on to both wheels just hop to bashgaurd/ring, obviousley it looks better to both wheels but thats your opinion because in mine its still a sidehop thanks
