Greetings Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 sidehop to the opposite direction of your lead foot, makes it easier.release your rear brake when sidehopping and do a slight pedalkick. you'll probably find at the beginning it's easier to land front wheel first on the obstacle with your front brake locked, then pull your bike up.no idea how much i can sidehop, never pushed myself to the limits.

Ghetto Rider Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) About a foot over my bar height...Want to push myself as i think i can go higher but just dont like the pre-load where the obstacle seems massive before you actually attempt it!Dan Edited January 3, 2007 by Ghetto Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medwaytrials Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 48" would be my highest. Try to tuck quick and put plenty of preasure on the pre-load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to change each year, last year sidehopped to the opposite side to my lead foot and it was much much better. There's a reason to it, just look at all those riders who sidehop +52"... only Neil does it the other way round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woozy Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 about 42". Do you guys sidehop as high as doing front touch?My front touch height is very similar to sidehop (~ 43"). It's bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 about 42". Do you guys sidehop as high as doing front touch?My front touch height is very similar to sidehop (~ 43"). It's bad?by front touch do you mean zap-tap? if so i can zap tap much higher than side hop at the moment.ben g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 No idea what mine is, over 45" though is all I know. Either way, that's good-foot-side. Can't sidehop for shit to my bad-foot-side, but there we go. Find it easier to just send it to 2 instead of going to front as well, but then again, I'm not that 'normal' with my riding preferences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
