Skoze Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 TrashzenDon't try and be 'cool' and tuck straight away, you look a tit and will limit yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 dont listen to this guy...Was referring to the whole no hop, just tuck kinda thing, obviously the higher you go then it happens with good reason, but when it's on 2 foot walls it's not really necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron.Tottman Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 trackstand, lock yer rear brake, put all yer weight onyour forward peddle keeping chain tention, compress your legs, leen the way you want to hop, let go of the brake and throw youself up and the way you want to hop,pull the bars to your hips and then up while tucking yer legs.landing on the front wheel is easier for me but limits your height in the hop.if all that is abit much to think about (it took me a while to get right) lock both brakes and just chuck yourself.learn to bunnyhop properly. the timing in the bar movment and the legs tucking are really important.

adam 94 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 I put the same post on here a while ago. I've sort of learnt to do it you have to think where you want place your front wheel kick and take the bike side with you and what ever you can jump up side you can do it on a bike. I'm stuck on getting it to pedal on logs but i can do pallets and straight sided things. Hope this helped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 i ride as much of an old school styl as i can even goin to bash now and thenBashguard to backwheel is a move for life. There's nothing wrong with a good old bashing on a wall. If your going to tap a wall low you might as well just bunny hop into the damn thing. Your going to do just as much damage to your bike.

A.Baxter Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 You will 1st need to find which way you are most comfortable with to your left or your right. Most people have there outside foot away from the wall so as not to clip your pedal off the wall, but it doesn't matter i do sidehops with my driving foot next to the wall, then just work your way up bigger walls starting with a comfortable size for learning the technique on.I hope that gave you some help !!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
