Caswell_35 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 When i side hop normally or to back wheel, i do it to my left, however i am left footed so my pedal is right next to the wall, this seems on on walls around bar height but will it get in the way on higher walls? should i start practising form the other side or wont it make any difference? sorry if its a stupid question but i have been thinking about it.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Go the other way. It'll make a massive difference, and you'll see improvement fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotty08 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) I started off just like you but my freinds told me to go the right way with your front foot to the right with the bike to the right of the wall,i took ther advice and was soon getting the hang of things but you should practice on smaller things firstThanks Cotty(Y) Edited September 21, 2009 by Cotty08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 ok will start practising, but what makes that way better?You got it right in your 1st post. It's cause your leading foot is too close to the wall when you go towards it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoots man Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 When i side hop normally or to back wheel, i do it to my left, however i am left footed so my pedal is right next to the wall, this seems on on walls around bar height but will it get in the way on higher walls? should i start practising form the other side or wont it make any difference? sorry if its a stupid question but i have been thinking about it.Thanksi do the same thing as you man, i need to do it on the other side but i have been doing it for a while and i find it hard to swap. it feels like i have never done a side hop over a foot on my right side. the clearance difference is huge and swapping sides is sure to make it allot easier.

hdmackay Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Also it means you can tuck more and look cool in pictures which helps you get up the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
