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...

Haven't been at this spot for ages and things that I couldn't do the last time I was there, seemed so easy today. I'm happy.

Summer!!! Well, almost... Some sidehop training.

I couldn't be bothered to write much lately but I have been out practicing a couple of times since my last post. I seem to get better at gapping every day which is pretty cool and my sidehop performance slowly increases as well. :) I think those two things have many things in common so practicing the one improves the other as well.
