I learned the Backwheel hop the way shown in the Video I managed to learn it easy within a month (nearly daily training) now Im close to pefection it I can easy hold it for a long time can even jump high and on obstacles etc. but I have huge Problems to jump forward it's a huge barrier in my head I somehow managed it to jump some cm forward but intstantly lose the balance

[@nyankoneko2002]

Yes, this is probably the best way to learn the trick. Wish this video had been available 3 years ago. Looking back, I wasted a lot of time.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Me too! It took me so long to finally get it!

[@miseriadocao]

The turbo hop was awsome.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Haha! I was trying not to laugh when I was filming it :)

[@tobyeglesfield4403]

Another vote here for starting learning these with your wheel up on something. I’ve worked my way up to wheelieing my front wheel up onto a small wide wall, then keeping side balance up there with hops and side to side balance. It’s so great, as wheel hops are just a tiny nudge away when you’re almost on balance point already. I can wheelie you from static but all the front/back management in that position is more volatile as you’re moving into position much quicker. I’ll try them from a standstill with a wheelie once I have them off the wall position and its calm start.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Spot on!

[@maxpainxl125]

every video you made is like a magnet to my excitement and curiousity... Rock on!

[@SuperRiderTV]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Mossinthewoods]

Super useful.fixed my issues

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome, so stoked to hear it!

[@Mossinthewoods]

@@SuperRiderTV thanks man, it was the point where you recommended hopping backwards. Immediately felt comfortable in the balance point

[@alimantado373]

Thanks, this vlog much better than your last Back hop tutorial, more in-depth. I still struggle with hops after years. Ive had a few slams on my back / head.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks! Been wanting to add more to this back hop tutorial for a while, finally had my chance. Hope this helps!

[@garrystevens8793]

Had to sub, your lessons are fantastic and so well explained.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked the lessons!

[@Ashnno]

Your videos have helped me immensly in my riding, thank you! Been practicing back hops for a while now. However, I'm on a full sus MTB but would really love to incorporate trials skills into my riding. It's been a blast! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talent!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Thanks so much for watching, so stoked to hear that they’ve been helpful!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Have fun!

[@basiliobastardo255]

new subs here... keep it up

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome, thank you so much!

[@philoso377]

If you notice that Shimano offers a call back on their fractured crank arms, I think it is related to hops and bunny hopping that Shimano never foreseen.

[@SuperRiderTV]

Could be!

[@christophe2987]

Thanks for thoses usefull advices ! How many hours to be able to do some back wheel hops ? I'm still unable to do this after two months of few hours a week practice... Should I continue or go back to my bed ? 🙃 Yes I need some encouragements 😂

[@SuperRiderTV]

It can take some time to get it locked in - but once you start getting a feel for that balance point, you’re almost there! One suggestion - join our Discord if you haven’t already. There are a bunch of riders working on techniques and you can send in your riding videos for even more tips to help you improve. We got you! 🙌

[@sapinva]

Me too. Only result so far is my left knee is getting sore and I'm getting tendinitis in my hamstring.

[@HungryMaks]

In my opinion it takes a lot of time to understand how to hop in place/forward after hopping backwards. You should probably start with hopping in place

[@SuperRiderTV]

That could be the next video - what to do next..

[@BlendyCat]

If you're clipped in, then do you really have to scoop the pedals?

[@SuperRiderTV]

No, but also...I would not recommend doing a back wheel hop with your feet clipped in. Especially if you're just learning the balance point, it's easy to land on your back if you go too far.

[@danielsmith7251]

Can anyone let me know if it’s possible to back wheel hop on a BMX? I’ve searched through all the vids on you tube but they’re all done on trial bikes and MTB’s. I’m getting a bmx to ride with my 8 year old who’s just got one…would LOVE to learn this but I wonder why I can’t find anything on the internet on BMX? (I’m likely to get a larger 24” BMX in my old age!)

[@oeso]

Hey Aaron, great tut again! I finally got myself a 24" street trial bike and had a session! What I'd found was the smaller wheels comparing to my 9er gave me a hard time, even doing basic stuff like trackstand, and a foreign feeling on handling the bike in general. Is this a phase everyone must go through? I'm worried I would be stuck here for a long time, given that I'm not even that advanced as a MTBer on basics. Thanks!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Awesome!! That adjustment takes a little time, but it will go away after a few rides (and less time, over time). Your pedal timing will need to adjust and a few other things…but I promise it will resolve in no time!

[@oeso]

@@SuperRiderTV oh it's definitely encouraging!😇

[@robertog3875]

I'm learning this skill on a hard tail with 27.5 wheels.. I'm looking for a high POE hub and wheel set up. Thoughts on pawl over ratchet design hubs and sturdy rim choice / spoke count? I just crushed a Roval Transverse on a curb likely due to low tire pressure so I figure I'll replace it with an optimal set up. Many thx!

[@SuperRiderTV]

Big fan of the Industry Nine wheels - I tried Onyx and it feels a bit spongy for trials.

[@Dan-ro3er]

I've been training for about 3 hours and I'm struggling a lot. I couldn't do one single hop no matter how hard I tried. I'm not bad at back wheel ballance. I can wheelie pretty good and manual isn't a problem for me as well. I could easily get on the rear wheel but even though I was trying to jump with my body as hard as I could, I didn't get it. Any tips?

[@SuperRiderTV]

Did you try the backwards hop first? That's the first real unlock for most people. The other thing I would suggest is filming yourself riding. Sometimes what you think you are doing on the bike doesn't match up to what is actually happening (I still have this issue). Overexaggerating your movements will help quite a bit, too. Go bigger than you think you need to.

[@Dan-ro3er]

@@SuperRiderTV I was trying to jump backwards but I wasn't able to. Anyway thanks for the tips and I will try again today.

[@Dan-ro3er]

@@SuperRiderTV Thank you so much man. I went training today and I GOT IT!!! I recorded myself and found out that I didn't have my legs stretched enough, so I couldn't preload and jump. After 15 minutes of trying I also realised that you were talking about the scooping method. So I somehow managed to grip the pedals with my toes and I got my first hop. After few more minutes I was able to do 3.

[@SuperRiderTV]

@@Dan-ro3er AWESOME!! Congrats, that's great progress!

[@jwiffle19]

When I do hop backwards, my pedals spin backwards. How do you keep them level?

[@SuperRiderTV]

I ease off my brakes slightly and push the pedals back in place. Check out my “pedal kick” video, that’s the next step for your progression!

[@sapinva]

How did you know I was having problems with this?

[@SuperRiderTV]

I feel like we discussed on a previous video comment, right?

[@sapinva]

@@SuperRiderTV Yeah, still working at it

[@thejenster7890]

Dude. Psyched. I wasn’t scooping, here’s hoping that helps.

[@SuperRiderTV]

I think it will - one of our riders suggested that he thinks of that scooping motion like “skipping”. Anxious to hear how it goes!

[@rojors]

May i know your tyre pressure in psi?

[@SuperRiderTV]

Right now it’s around 30 psi - for street trials specific riding, I normally go up to 40 psi.
