Two videos w/o many words. Have made some improvements when it comes to Up To Fronts and am very happy with it. Gaps are better as well even though very hard to do sometimes (second video) :).

Hurt myself a bit but the bike was hurt more. Broke off both of my brake levers. :D So happy that I didn't buy the Avid Ultimate levers.

This is what I've done the last couple of weeks. I've gotten as far as this:


Probably not as high as one should jump when practicing this move* but I think moving up a pallet every other month or so will bring some results.


Right now I'm at a point where I still have to visualize the move before doing it so that the technique still isn't quite right. For example, I should lean more over the handle bars. I think it's like everything else in trials. Practice x1000.

Again, sidehops but of a different kind. I like it much more than the "real" sidehop.

Sidehops, sidehops sidehops... That's the only thing I can think of right now. :D I've tried to improve over the last couple of months but whenever I fell off the wall I left that technique out of my practices for quite some time. Now I will focus on this a bit more and force myself to do like my 2 1/2 year old son does. He falls, stands up and tries it again (no sidehop obviously). 

So here's my status quo now. I still have to put more force into the pedal kick when going up and preload a lot more. The vertical I have, it's the technique that's needed to get up onto higher walls. Also, I'll need more flexibility for the tucking part up there so I will concentrate on that as well. 

The wall in this video is the highest I can do for now but I can already see myself improving a lot if I manage to keep at it.

Again, not much time to ride lately but still made some progress... :)

Goal for this season is sidehopping to 6 - 6 1/2 pallets. I still have to get lower when preloading and the pedal kick just before taking off isn't really there...
