hustler-one Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I can cherry hop without much a-do, and i can hop forward, but can someone give me a breakdown of how you learned to hiptothehop in a forward direction? I find the idea of pedalling forwards abit / whilst jumping forwards / and keeping my weight over the back wheel quite mental! But I guess ollying a skateboard (kick the tail into the ground whilst jumping whilst dragging your front foot up the grip tape to raise it and pushing it forward to level it in the air before getting both feet on it for a smooth landing) is equally as mental and I am almost there with learning that!

Mr Bob Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 (edited) This should help man, http://www.trashzen....kick-basics.php I think its all down to getting used to co-ordination and how to tap the brake on and off etc, it'll come eventualy, dont give up becusse once you get them it unravels a whole new side to trials Edited April 4, 2010 by Mr Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 is a pedal hop where you let go of the back brake then kick the pedal and jump at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hustler-one Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 cheers for the sweet links! If you can be bothered could you click the thing to help validate my account btw? I am gonna try to find some riders in Coventry, ive never taken my trials bike down to uni as coventry is bad for bike theft, but i really wanna get riding again and I am off down in a week so ive gotta decide If I am taking it or not! that trash zen site is fantastic! theres loads of great tutorials on there! I never thought about begining to learn the pedal hop without the jump, to get the pedal motion right, before thrusting the body weight to attain the hop! thanks!
