Little side hop clip. Kind of looking for criticism/tips

[chronic]

Buddy and I are almost stuck at 44". Box in this vid is 43 on the rear tire side.

Any pointers you guys can give. This was at the end of a ride, I was bagged so mine looks like snot. But my friend aaron was doing ok.


But yeah, any advice. I know half of its a mind fuck, but otherwise...

Technique looks really good to me. It's all about the hip-snap and it seems like you have it down pretty well.

You could probably get a better tuck than that on the landing. Looks like you are coming in a little front wheel first. Concentrate on pulling your feet up more and it may help.

Other than that, I can only suggest keep riding or maybe doing some exercises at this point, if you want to go bigger.

It can be good to really push yourself for a couple weeks with a height you can make, but are not comfortable with. Then rest up a bit to recover and see if you got anywhere.

you look like you can barely get on the back wheel but the sidehop is good :o

Ray can get on the back wheel just fine, the other guy seems to be a little unstable though. Most of the clips were of arron. Ray's the one with the ugly blue shorts.

Yeah, looks good, just more tuck. You probably don't need that much of a prehop either, but that's probably more aesthetic than anything.

Yep, ugly blue shorts and the pipe shirt with no pipes is me lol

Thats the thing aaron and I are definitely having trouble with is tucking more on the landing. Feels like I do, but when I watch my self I dont. I always hit my ass with my rear wheel too.

Thanks for the ideas

I didn't even notice there were 2 people.

technique looks good. i am stuck on about that height too

just more practice i reckon.. like increasing in small incremements
more tuck? on occasions if I aim to "sit" down more upon landing, it helps
