poopipe Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 The most useful tip I ever got was to release the brake and level the pedals out while you're in the air. - if you'd searched you would have found Julien's site at www.trashzen.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyman with a death wish Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) well everyone has there own techniques to do tricks so it kinda one of these things where you just have to keep trying it till you get it. but when i first did one ages ago i did an endo then when the backwheel touched the ground i pull back and hold my rear brake and lower my knees to get some power and pushed down with my legs. its really hard to describe how to do one off the top of my head im sorry. so this may help you or not. hope i have helped a little bit Edited July 15, 2007 by crazyman with a death wish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantallsop Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Also try bending your legs outwards for more control once you've learnt how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsychem Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 When you are practicing try and ride with some one else so you can watch them do it and try and copy the technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 When you are practicing try and ride with some one else so you can watch them do it and try and copy the technique.got that right, my mate learnt to pedalhop in about 15 mins riding with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandry1991 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 yeah thats what i do when i am out with people who are very good and teachin me to sidehop and the rest so its better so you can find out the right way and not try on your own and get it all wrong mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMmY Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well i did think it was hard at first but the best bit of advice i got was to shift your weight with the bike dont lean back to far!!!Hope that helps!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trix Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) I never like doing an endo first, I prefer doing a pedal kick, much easier to get your bike underneath you with your momentum going no where, kind of hard to explain, so I'll let my friend Ryan explain lol....Rear wheel hopsAlso i find it better if you have a camera to record your self then watch the footage back so you can see where your body position and what your doing wrong.ohhh yeah im validated Edited July 17, 2007 by Trix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikemad786 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Well i just started doing the hop 2-3 days ago basicly what i did was actually by accident me messing around was i locked both brakes up,rock back and forth lift up when your up try and do like an american style bunny hop it worked with me. Good luckAzeem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
