Everyone keeps telling me my hopping is great, but that I do too much of it. My record (static) from wood is 66cm. and from concrete it’s about 63 cm. Do you guys think I should start focusing more on my skinnies, stillstands, SI, and other trials aspects. I really love doing street, but my constant hopping makes for no progress in street. What do you guys think?
Should I wait a bit 'til I grow and have gotten good at other aspects before I focus on hopping again?
Do what’s fun. We shouldn’t have to make these decisions for you.
Do what ever you like most, you may not be a great trials rrider if you can’t ride a rail but who cares if you are a great rider, as long as you are having fun.
Also these threads you make can easily just be put in the trials discussion thread.
I never thought of that lol
Variety is the spice of uni! Try to get equally good at as many different aspects of riding as you can!
Yes. Or you’ll end up like me pushing a 40in hop not able to even ride a rail road track for more than a few revs, most of the time less than 2.
Flow in street is just as important in trials. Flowing trials takes less energy (pre-hops kill stamina) and they make it look just as bad. You should work to having no prehops at all, that is very hard, but a very good goal. Just cut them out of everything, it makes trials look a lot more impressive as you seem more in control, it also does make technical trials easier.
