siede. Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 fwh aren't as easy as the rwh^^ RWH: Practise! After some weeks you'll get better an better.FWH: Realy hard to do... I, for example, can almsot rwh endless, but can only do 1-2 frontwheelhops (I'm riding for 4-5 months). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 LinkCheck that ^And practice, practice, practice.Doing backhops - When your going off course try and pull the rear wheel underneath you to keep you over the balance point.And more practice, you'll get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Well mate, you said you're riding a mountain bike? Which seriously does make it SO much harder!One reason, it probably weighs 5 or so KG's more than any trials related bike,and two, it probably has suspension? You don't want sus! Anyway, to the backhops, these will probably take you a couple of months to learn to do correctly and controlably.With the front hops, people who have been riding years can't even do them! They're not needed in any riding anyway to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dngr2self Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 I learnt the way your doing it. It'll just click one day and you'll suddenly find you can get your balance point every time. It's just a case of keeping practicing (something you'll hear a lot while learning). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Gosden Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Your technique is a common way of learning and im all for it but now your at this stage you need to have constant practise of rear wheel hopping and once you can do say 6-7 then it about time you attempt hopping on one spot without jumping backwards and then once you feel comfortable doing that then try taking the endo out and putting a bit of a pedal kick and hopping, once you have them steps covered your ready to progress into learning pedal kicks which takesalot of effort and concentration as you have to time your hop perfectly with your kick and release of the brake leaver but with alot of hard work and practise your ace it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
