Back Wheel Hops:


Hopping on one tire is one of the very first freestyle tricks. Hopping was first done by BMX racers who would get bored in between races. They would play around with their bikes and learn to balance and hop on their bikes in different ways to keep themselves entertained. This lead to harder tricks being done and made a lot of racers become freestylers because they found that doing tricks was funner than racing.

To do back Wheel Hops simply stand on the back pegs or pedal and do a little endo to get the front wheel up. Keep the back brakes on during this whole trick. Pull up on the front wheel and keep your weight centered over the bike. Shift your weight up. You should start to hop. Do as many hops as you can until bored. Stop hopping lean forward and jump to the pedals and ride away.

To do Front Wheels Hops simply start by standing on the pegs or pedals and do a front endo. Keep the back end up high enough to maintain balance during the hopping. To start hopping, keep the front brake on and pull up on the handle bars. You should start to hop. When the front end comes down, make sure to keep your weight centered and your bars forward as to continue hopping. Do as many hops as you wish. To ride away simply drop the back end to the ground and release the brake and ride away.


Hopping can be done on the pegs or the pedals or sometimes standing right on the wheel itself while hopping. You can take hands off and feet off, turn the bars. Do whatever you feel like doing during hopping. Hopping if anything will teach you the balance necessary to learn harder tricks.
