backwheeling, help needed

[G-Jordan]

i could do with some help with my backwheeling height. I am talking about just ordinary backwheeling with no front touches (i can front touch) but i am trying to get to as high as i can just doing it normally and i am finding it hard to really get the height. Currently i am only managing to up 30inches to backwheel. Sooooo if anyone has any hints or tips or technique advice on what has helped them, it would be really great if you could tell me.

Also if you have any thing you think through in your head first then please help.

cheers lads

Go fast, pedal hard, pull up. It just takes practice and athletic ability, some people can't jump, some can fly. Search- pedal ups, this has been done before.

It has very little do to with how well you can jump, I'm afraid.

its all in the technique, which can be boiled down to TIMING. watch videos, and try to emulate the riders. my favorite person to watch is vincent, because he "floats" and his technique is easy to study.

Elan is right. But if you can, video yourself, and then watch your own technique along with better riders (like vincent). Helped me see what I wasn't doing (and still not). My riding has improved recently.
