I can hop fairly high, picnic table height. Build yourself a hop bar, practice all the time. Thats what I did.
To learn to bring the rear up, roll along, point your toes and lift up with your feet. Just practice pulling the rear end up and use this same motion when moving onto actual hopping.
Hope this helps as I love hopping (fundamental of the sport).

Yea right on. I setup a bar as soon as I realised that I was good at hopping. I'm up to 2ft and 3" but I'll be past that soon. Not bad for a 15kg bikeBig Grin .

point your toes to the ground and jump. just takes practice and a lot of upper body strength. try it on a small bike first that you can lift pretty easily. then just practice.

I tried doing what Brodie-Brat-06 said, and it started to work quite well actually.

I also have a question, how can I stop landing on my front tire as much. Just pull up more.?

u might be pushing down on the front to get the back end up, u have to level out in the air by pulling ur legs up and pushing/pulling bars

I find that sometimes when i do that, i dont getr as much air and theres a 1 foot and a couple inches ledge at a skewl by me and i sometimes case if i try to land more flat.

Im having problem to get the back wheel up. I can get the front how ever easy up from the ground.When I try to get it up my feet dosent hold on the pedales. I have been bike for only few weeks.. How can i get my back of the ground and get better grips of my pedales? Dose it matter what kind of pedales i have? right now they are this plastic cheep ones that came with the bike.

Some idiot made this back in the day but it shows you the basic form step by step.


Same idea on a hardtail.

That´s because you´re pushing your legs up and you can´t do that because as you said your feet will come up and not the bike. What you want to do is instead of pushing your legs up, try pushing them forward by extending them and also your arms. Your body movement will make the bike go up naturaly. You need to practice a lot to get it right. It can be frustrating but you need to keep tryingSmile
