MattB Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 hi there when i get up on the back wheel i can do a gap and land it but then i have to do a couple of bounces before i do another gap. is this ok because i see some people who don't do the couple of bounces. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 (edited) Click Trashzen link below, should help :rolleyes: EDIT, just read your post properly, and it's one of those things that will come with practise. Once you get used to landing in the right position, you'll be ready to hop straight away without a correctional hop. Just takes practise. It will come.

MrsMonkey Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 It's just to do with getting balanced again. But if you do it all the time it will probably become habit and you'll do it all the time regardless of whether you're balanced or not. If you really want to stop it then you just need to practice, slow you're riding right down and get used to moving your body over the bike to reach the balancing point, rather than moving the bike around under you. If you watch people riding trials on natural terrain it's more neccesary to move yourself around than the bike as it's sometimes difficult to hop the bike around in tight spaces or on slippy terrain. You'll notice the same with motorbike trials, this is more down to the bike being too heavy to constantly hop around under yourself so you need to balance over it more. Good Luck. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck. x Of course as well as that, due to natural having a rough or non-flat surface most of the time, you'll have to hop around just to find the 'sweet-spot' where you'll be able to get enough grip, and not hook the back tyre up when you put the power down. But yeah, as everyone's said, it's just practise :$ Plus, you don't always know in videos how many times that line's been tried 'til it was pulled that clean :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
