Revolver Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 If you are struggling to learn it, try learning just to kick the pedals without worrying about the jump. The wheelie-stop technique... Give one sharp pedal kick to get you on the back wheel, and from there, see if you can kick yourself along a little bit, and then stop, where you will bring the pedals back to do it again. Learning it this way is more straight-forward, it's just like a pedal-kick only without the jump, which you add once you've got the timing down.

rab shropshire Posted September 2, 2010 Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 they way i learned wst to do a small endo then lift the front wheel up till you find your balance point and begin to hop, initially you may hop backwards (this is fine until you find the correct balance point) once you get that dialled add the kick in to move forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViZ_Burger Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 sounds strange but on my mod i did it a completely differnt way . when i was trying to learn pedal hops my back brake was terible so i kicked,hopped,kicked,hopped,fell on my ass . so basicly i learnt to do 2 or 3 without the brake and then when i bought a new brake it was easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just practice loads and you'll notice yourself improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
