jonny beta Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) What would be the best technique for doin a 180 degree static hop? At the moment i can only do 90 degrees. If any of you's have the Albert Cabestany + Sherco video go to 2mins 15secs into it and that is what i mean. Scroll down and download the video from that link. Thanks Edited August 24, 2005 by jonny beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Well I'm maxed out at about 110 right now from a stop. But as I see it, the technique is to squat yourself and suspension down then pop the clutch and jump up at the same time. Now to spin you need to turn your upper body and your hips violently to the side you want to spin towards. Also it works like a bunny hop, you need to jump forward whilest doing this and twist the bars forward to get the rear in the air and make sure to grip the bike tightly with your legs/boots. So, really, you're doing a bunny hop from a stop except twisting with your body to spin. I learned it from trials bicycles. I found you do learn stuff from them and its not all clawed and cut shins.
