The side hop is a very efficient technique you can use if you want to climb different obstacles in a static manner and if you need some room to control your bicycle. Here are the steps you have to follow in order to succeed in doing this trick and to succeed in making an impression. Of course, this is also a very practical technique if you think of the many obstacles bike riders usually come across.
The first thing you have to do is to place your bicycle next to the obstacle in such a way that the two are parallel. Of course, in order to do a side hop, you need to know how to do a back hop. If you know this, you just have to stay on the back wheel and get ready to jump. You should keep the distance between the extremity of the handlebar and the kerb and stay close to the obstacle. This should help you very much when you get to more difficult tricks and to bigger obstacles. Visualising the trick and the way things go from head to toes should help you very much with this trick, too.
Then, stay on the back wheel, relax your knees and straighten your arms. Your back should also be straight and your body should be very low. Also, you should lean towards the obstacle. The foot you use for pedalling should be a little higher, so that you can prepare the pedal kick.
Then, push the pedal and release the back brake at the same time. Also, you have to pull the handlebar towards your abdomen. This way, you will take off, but remember that your back has to be straight and your arms and legs should be straight, too. When you are in the air, pull the bike under you and relax your legs, straighten your arms and pull the handlebar to your chest.
Now that you have landed, you can get back to a normal position and you just have to decide how to get off the obstacle. This technique requires a lot of practice because it is more difficult if you come across bigger obstacles. Start with a little kerb and perfect your technique!
