thanks for the tip... but i tried it and i can't let go of the brake and then pedal kick and then pull the brake again in the time that im in the air... as i can only hop about 2-3inches

when your rear wheel start dropping, give your pedals a light punch after releasing the rear brake. after the small punch hold the brake again. also it is a matter of balance, when you do it more often you will se that the wheel wont drop a lot or wont drop at all. what you want to reach is a point in which you are in perfect balance, so you dont need to punch your pedals but instead do a small hop with your body, forward backwards or whatever side you ned to hop to;) give it a try and lemi know

hi mate,

i was just on my bike and i can now do one rear wheel hop... after ive pulled the wheel in the air i can hop once but then when i land i cant stop the front wheel fromdropping down... and i can't work out how to stay on the back wheel and hop again... do you know what im doing wrong????

makes perfect sense! in fact there are a lot of people who do a sidehop the wrong way, but they have got used to it over time. I think that there are no rules to trials the if the way you do something works than continue doing it! besides once in a while you have to re-learn a technique because you feel that it is better to do it another way, this is hard but if you try hard you will get better at it!

ps I made this account to help ppl so helping you is my job;) haha but I dont get paid:(

thanks... (sorry for all the comment but ur reely helpful) i read this thing today about how practice can make perfect but it can make permanent... what i mean by that is that if i learn how to do a skill wrong and then a trialer says nono do it this way... my muscles will stop me from doing it and make me the way i lernt it... muscle memory.... do you think that makes sense or its just a load of shite?

[ARMekijker]

nope sorry dude, I asume you live in england? since it is on ur utube profile:P and I live in Holland so I can't really help you... try looking for forums and in that way meet up with people so you can learn new things! and just keep on riding

do you know whether there are like any clubs or meeting for begginer trialers to help me get better?

[ARMekijker]

nono certainly not, I'm just another trialer u can see my own vids on my accound (ARM vids are mine) there are also some meetings and a few vids of my friends;) and well I uploaded these vids to try and help people to get better at trials... so good luck m8
