jackamory Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 hi, my mate thinks 30 back hops is good how many can you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 30 backhops isnt really that good i think, depends on how long you've been ridingmost people can do as many backhops as they want, it doesn't take alot of power and balance so you could keep going till your legs cant take it anymore, which takes a long while i think..

Orgun_Donor Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Back hops i can go on for ages, till my hands arms or legs give, front hops, normally the same. not sad enough to count though.Altho the real challenge Ash, is balancing on the front, with out hopping think ive managed 2 or 3 seconds, then went over the bars.

python_man Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 the point of backhops is not doing hundreds. the only thing backhops do is get you set up for your move.backhopping becomes something called muscle memory (if i remember rightly) i can backhop till the cows come home but it wont do me any good . at most now i do four or five backhops then i'm off into my move its all just balance everyone will get it in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
