MikeCottTrials Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 as the title says, personally i think that the front wheel first technique is kind of cheating because it seems to be easy compared to going to both, when i first started sidehopping i have to confess i went to front but im making the leap to both wheels its alot scarier but i think its worth it. not to say that going to front first makes you crap but i think it should almost be classed as a different move . what do you lot think?

thesoupdragon182 Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 does it realy matter the way it is done I alwas looked at it as if you get up it and your side ways its a side hop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Going to front wheel isnt cheating on a sidehop.I find it harded to go to front , but some people find it harded to go to 2 wheels.As long as you get up there sideways then thats it don`t worry about what technique you are doing.

cookie456_the2nd Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 All down to personal preference. I find it hard to go to 2 wheels.Either way, your hopping sideways, hence sidehop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 There is no 'Right' or 'Wrong' really, when are people going to learn this. Differant people have differant techniques. If I was a sidehop whore, i'd most likley do most of mine to front wheel, afterall once you've got the front up, you can either manage to get the rear that little bit higher, or slip off to pedal, slipping off to pedal without the front wheel on something is shitty.....

Mark W Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 They're all useful, so learn them all pretty much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Gardner Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 again, no right or wrong way to sidehop. I sidehop with my strong foot on the inside and to front wheel. I can do 36" though so im not complaining , but yeah personal preferance and most people sidehop opposite which looks alot more comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
