October 29, 200916 yr Hi all im new to trials and im interrested in how the pro riders hop on there rear wheel just like you would on a push bike . Can anyone explain how it is done?
October 29, 200916 yr TTC Practice it on a bike and then when you've mastered transferring your weight it should be easy to move on to moto.
October 29, 200916 yr Author I can hop on the back wheel on a pushbike really easy have done for years but i cant see how to tranfer it on to a motorbike.Do you use the rear brake ?
October 29, 200916 yr i think its a compo of throttle brake and clutch some of the adam raga vids on u tube are best to watch for how he does it
October 29, 200916 yr ???Are you asking how to do a stationary wheelie then hop on the back wheel without putting the front down??? Like this--- ----
October 29, 200916 yr I can do a few, maybe 12 or so on a good day and its a skill well worth learning, it can get you out of trouble very easily especially on hills or uphill turns. It took bloody ages to learn and I,m not good at it now, from my point of view use the back brake to stop yourself going backwards as well as holding forward/rear balance whilst the suspension reloads . The clutch is far more important than the throttle and the biggest tip is not to rush anything or over-do any body movements/legs,throttle,clutch. You dont have to jump the back wheel 2 foot in the air every time, just unloading and compressing the suspension has the same effect unless you want to jump rocks. Just like hopping the front or back wheel, timing is everything, wait for the suspension before you move. Edited October 29, 200916 yr by The Addict
