How To:
Side Hop
What is it?
A side hop can be done in two ways. The first way is just trackstanding, then bunnyhopping, but slightly moving to one of the side. The alternative way is trackstanding, rock forwards, then using the momentum, get onto the rear wheel, and then bunnyhop, again slightly going to the side.
How do you do it? ( Way 1 )
Trackstand until you get your balance, then straighten the front wheel so it is in line with the rest of your bike, then crouch down, like a spring, lean to a side and bunny hop. Using the futher back foot on your pedals, push the back end of the bike, and with your arms, pull on the handle bars so the entire bike should move to the side. Leaning into it will just make it easier to get a further distance.
How do you do it? ( Way 2 )
The other way of doing a side hop, is trackstanding again, then lean back onto the rear wheel, making your ass almost touch the wheel, then do a bunny hop, so your bike lifts off the ground, using the same technique as the front method, push the back end of your bike with your feet, and pull to the side with your bars.
