As I posted on the riders helping riders forum.

How do ya do rear wheel hops on the moto. I can hop all day on the bici, but the Motorcycle is real tuff! The shock just sucks all the energy out of the motion.

I'm sure you bike/moto people should have some tips.

first you need to be able to lift your front wheel with almost no throttle

and no speed then you tap your back brake just so your front wheel drops slightly to a stand still with your clutch in then apply a little blip with compression of the rear suspension and it should hop then as it comes back down hit your brake and repete. dont see how this helps because in nationals the most i've ever done is a slight flic turn and your never going to need it but there you go.

Its very much like doing it on a bike but the rear suspension disorientates you slightly at first, then you start to feel the advantage, as the motorized version is a lot heavier. it learning to co-ordinate the rear brake, clutch, revs, suspension and technique at the same time

my personal record is 14 on me gasser. remember the footage Andy shot of Freixa at Dulluth this year, on that rock? 12 and he turned 90 degrees aswell. iz right!
