Bunny Hop and Sidehop Practice

I talked to Luke (cocky_199) on Instagram and asked him how I could improve on my bunny hop height and he told me that I should approach the wall at a very slow speed and focus on the push down/pull up more.

My Playground Streettrials

My very first edit. It took 4 years of practice to finally come out with it.

Testing Magura MT4s

I got myself a Magura MT4 on the rear which I wanted to try out. It works ok but it starts rubbing after only a couple of moves (for ex. 180 bunny hop). So I went back to my Saints.

This is cheating part 2

This is cheating

Slow Motion Up to Front, Bunny Hop, Pedal Gap

Just a cube

Drop Gap

Quick playing around

Balance

Just a Boring Wall

Nova Eventis Trials

It was pretty windy the last time I rode but I'm still very happy with the outcome. I could't do none of those tricks the last time I went to this place (half a year ago).

Abubaca, Fufanu Fail, Manual

Pretty happy about the manual. It's by far the hardest move to learn.

Gosh... I haven't been posting anything lately. At least not here. I practiced very little though because I had my final exams.

Now that this is over, I'm going to ride whenever there is some time left. Here are the latest videos since the last one. I have discovered that it is a lot of fun to ride in skateparks....

The bike has been modified as well. It is how I want it now.

I really start to like the #skatepark. First time I tried these jumps. #bmx #streettrials #streettrialmentality #rideinspired #trials

Again very happy with this one. I'm back to sidehops even though on the Inspired they feel really weird and forced.

So happy about the last one as this is my very first sidehop with the Inspired. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

And here's a fail I managed to produce today. :D

So happy it wasn't on concrete. Looks funny. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials #fail

Here are some videos from my last couple of sessions. I focused on tyre taps as I think that these look cool and are an easy technique to learn. As soon as I get onto something higher than a curb, they aren't easy anymore. :D

Session in the rain with some things I have to improve a lot on. Especially the bunny hops with a curved run up are kinda weird. #streettrials #trials #rideinspired #bunnyhop #spankbikes #tricks #rain

Trying a new move. Not quite there yet. #streettrials #rideinspired #trials

So happy about this. Tyre tap 180°. I always wanted to be able to do these. #trials #streettrials #180 #rideinspired

Putting the new technique to the test. As soon as the curb is a wall, a tyre tap becomes less easy. :D #rideinspired #trials #streettrials

I actually wanted it to be smoother but I hurt myself a bit on the first fail, which is actually my last attempt.

Forks are back from power coating and brakes are now BR-M810. Really LOVE the setup now and there's nothing I'll change anytime soon.



Also had a short ride today. After two weeks of absence it's nothing special.

There's only one way I can get up this rock on both sides: a small bunny hop with quite some speed to just roll up this thing (second video). Since this makes it necessary to make another hop to get onto the rear wheel, it's not what I want though. I want to do this in one single movement called the hook. It's kinda hard though but once mastered, it enables me to get onto the rear wheel in one move. 

First ride of the year. I think it won't take long to kinda hook this rock. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials

I got up there from the other side but not as I wished. :( Hooks aren't easy. #rideinspired #streettrials #trials
