hoping on the spot

When i first started i only did 1 hop a time, then when i was
comfortable with that, i started doing more 😄

depends on your learning curve. i learned how to ride in a single night
and learned how to mount and hop the next day. so if you are younger
(teens) you should learn quickly

it's like running across the highway at rush hour. Dangerous, stupid,
but not really that fun.

I learned in one night, took my sister over a month. You just keep on
hopping, the main thing is sticking to it. You will cross over a line
all over a sudden (Not literally (-_-)) and suddenly start doing 20
then 30 then 70 so on.

I would practice hopping up a curb. that way you can start geting used
to jumping distances, start learning how to jump higher , and learn how
to jump more fluently all at once. Still a baby step in the end but a
good one to take.
also be sure to practice jumping both to your right and to your left.
Like 5 hops to the left then 5 to the right.

^^ good advice on going to the left and right. im also in the learning
process (but aren't we all still learning ? lol) I'v just started to
get comfortable with hops. i found that holding onto something with the
hand you dont hold your seat with helped me start. but dont do that for
too long or you will get too used to doing it.
another tip that i figured out is to bend your legs a bit wen you land
to absorb the shock. this helps if you are about to try jumping onto a
curb etc. it lets you kind of sit there for a little bit before you
have to hop again.

once you get used to shifting your weight forward,back,side to side you
will be able to hop for longer than 2 or 3. a couple of weeks ago i
could only do 2 or 3 myself. now i can do just about as many as i
want/need.

keep PRACTICING and i promise you will pick it up pretty fast mate.
good luck..

I learnt to hop last weekend, but I kind of cheated..

I stopped the wheel rotating by strapping the wheel to the frame using
cycle clip straps, effectively making it a pogo stick, that way I
didn't have to worry about falling off backwards/forwards and just
concentrate on standing up and hopping.
Once I got the hang of hopping on the spot, about an hour, I unstrapped
the wheel free mounted and away I went😄 😄

Cheating: not big, not clever, but great fun🙂

:p haha thats actually not a bad idea mate. its not really cheating
anyway beacause you arent competing. its increasing your chances of
learning and helping you if ur having trouble. like using a foam pit to
learn backflips (on a dirtbike/ or bmx.)lol
