You might need to build up a little more strength; you seem kinda small. And you need to give more detail. Are you hopping from two wheels, or from rear? And are you hopping over something, or onto something? If you are going over a bar, you need to cushion yourself when you land. Lean back further.

And you need to stop putting that smiley in every thread you make.

you seem kinda small.

im like 5'4".. i am kinda small.. but what ever.. Im side hopping from backwheel, and i when i sidehop over a bar i always land on either both tires or my front:S... and I want to know how to land on my back tire so it looks better and feels better.....

Wasn't meant to be offensive, ladies (KIDDING AGAIN). He's young, so he's fine to be that size.

So yea, you really just gotta cushion the landing, and lean backwards making your ass touch (or almost) touch the rear wheel. You know how to do the pedalkick during the sidehop, I assume? Anyways, practice will do it. Experiment with your technique, moving your hips around, until you nail it. And it always helps to start small.

what do you mean by pedalkicking during the sidehop???

[cp101]

As in giving the drive train a kick while doing the side hop, gives you momentum.

my advice; lean back...






I hate that song.....

People these days do anything to make them look good. When did being fat become popular :ugh:

And jake, if you watch videos, you'll see that the riders set themselves up onto the rear, and then just as they launch upwards, they will give a small little kick, to get some momentum, and to keep them on target. They'd otherwise land behind where they took off from.

Try sidehopping from both wheels first, and get the pedalkick dialed in there before you do it on the rear. Good luck.
