Canardweb Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) When you want to bunny or roll onto an obstacle lift your front wheel with your wrong foot. When you sidehop sidehop to your wrong foot's side. I also don't get the use of footjam whip's in trials riding but whatever Edited May 27, 2012 by Canardweb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure I'm not the only one on here either. There where a flatland rider at the place who challenged me to do a footjam tailwhip, my friends who doesn't ride trials that whatch my vids love it, So why not take it in the film? Thanks!

I was thinking exactly the same thing than you one year ago: "I can't sidehop to the wrong foot side". I forced myself and now I go even higher which is weird as I only skipped some weeks ago... So force yourself dude. Better early than later for this! And remember to lift your front wheel with the wrong foot during a bunny or roll!!!

Jake. Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Pretty good for 4 months, keep it up dude. By the way, at 15 seconds in when you were hopping to the stone, if you're doing a gap try to keep hopping forward slowly then go for it. Hopping backwards is just wasted energy, I do it all the time when I try doing sidehops and it's so annoying haha.

omgnoseat Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Have you ridden motortrials before this? your gap technique reminds me of it. You should really try to get rid of that habit of doing a small pedal kick before you gap. It will be very hard to unlearn once you get better.

Can you give a bit of better explanation? You mean like, when I should gap, I jump a tad backwards? Thanks! For 4 months that was really good!

It's not really the hop, but the little "surge" forwards by applying pressure on the pedals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
