Want to know how to sideop like TRA? Common mistakes: Back 5

Sidehops
Not using your full strength and not maximizing the use of your body.

Doing sidehop with a little hop before going for it:

1.Get in position, do a trackstand.

2. Visualize the move

3. Do a little jump 1-2" over ground land and go deep ready for your launch (front wheel should be in air at this point)

4. Then pull as hard as you can on your bars (Don't just pull your bars towards you but you should try to pull yourself upwards) at the same time as you jump (really give it some effort! you can gain inches with using all your strength instead of just jumping). Then near the end you give it a little kick with the pedals. (You should be leaning just a tiny bit when doing this, if not you will just jump up and down, hehe)

5. Then you push your bike forward as you twist the grips forward as well, and pulling your bike up with your feet (that's leveling it out)

Then there are two ways. One is to go as far back as you can and try to get behind the wheel of the bike, this I use when I'm sidehoping to rear wheel (but you can use the second method to backwheel as well but its hard). The second way is to rise the bike and get it besides your ass (your arms should not be stretched out here), just twist the bike a little bit and get it up on the side, this way you will get higher.

Doing sidehop from trackstand:

1.Get into the position of a trackstand

2. Visualize the move

3. Go high on your bike to get more speed downwards. Then go hard and quick down and at once reached the desirable point you shoot up as HARD as you can as you pull as hard as you can in your bars. Don't just pull your bars towards you but you should try to pull yourself upwards. (All this should be done so fast its all in one motion!) Then near the end you give it a little kick with the pedals. (You should be leaning just a tiny bit when doing this, if not you will just jump up and down, hehe)

5. Then you push your bike forward as you twist the grips forward as well, and pulling your bike up with your feet (that's leveling it out)

Then there are two ways..

The second way is to rise the bike and get it besides your ass (your arms should not be stretched out here), just twist the bike a little bit and get it up on the side, this way you will get higher. I myself like most the one with a little jump in front, cuz then I can develop more power from the whole body, get more spring from tires and frame as you pushes down harder.

Then there's a technique used for getting higher on to edges.

As you go up you place the front wheel on top and pull the rear end up after you.

Two techniques here.

One is that when you jump (you would be leaning much forward at this point so its easier to pull rear end up!) You place your front wheel on top and pull in your front brake a little (not all the way) as you pull the rear end up (by pushing bike forward, twisting the grips and rising it with your feet). Again you can push your bike up on the side of you if you need to do so, this will get you higher

The other is that instead of not pulling your brake all the way in you do so, you land with your front wheel on top, push brake in, rise the rear end and slide it into place. (I would recommend the first technique.)

Tip of tire pressure, if you want to do high sidehops, u want to ride with a tire pressure where when u do sidehops u just flatten the tire.
