Bunny hop/J-Hop/Pedal kick/hop

[yoyeebird]

whew....how i'd love to! but my bike is currently on the build up (ayaw ako payagan ni misis magbuo ng masyadong spec'd-out na bike), and i haven't ridden for months now, much more do tricks and jumps....
but i think it's a skill like swimming....once you have ridden a bike and get the natural "one-ness" feel, the bike becomes an extension of your physical abilities.
the trick in doing a pedal kick is you have to know how much power goes into the "kick." the front does not necessarily have to be popped up very high....once you execute the kick, when the pedal becomes close to being parallel to the chainstays (it can extend over, but not perpendicular, since this will ruin your timing and balance/foot orientation), tapos "pitik" na sa likod.
medyo mahirap i-explain, pero para lang literally "tumatalon" ka na naka-dikit yung paa mo sa pedal. hehehe

let's ride some time so you could show us those moves!!!!!!!!

in the video the circles or diggin'it (i think) there's a guy named V-dub who back hops and pedal kicks using a heavy full suspension bike!!!!!!!

i dont want to flatter myself...and also not to brag, but am starting to have 2nd thoughts of what to call what i do.. ;D parang with your statement above it seems to be soo hard to pedal kick a heavy full suspension bike..but to my awareness i am able to kick a 50lb.++ DH/FR rig; not that high though but i can.. tama kaya ginagawa ko?

Skarhead, comment on this please..

[alien_scream]

@ alien_scream and Bullit : didn't you realized that we rode urban together 2 weeks ago, we even are together going to kings to deliver the "fast din kami" poster after the urban ride, or you just knew yourselves by first names now i'm confused hehehe coz it appears you haven't ridden together

its possible 3 mos. ago...

Re. your post, di ko kaya multiple na "pedal kicks na parang trials ala manual ang dating" but basically parang ganun pero 1 lang..hehe! ;D

not me sir ;D

bu-"liit" ako hinde bullet or bullit

[[ eRECTUS ]]

Sir Alien,

so yung last execution nya sa 6ft drop clip is called a pedal drop?

kasi di naman ako nag whewheelie eh..

whats the diff?

[alien_scream]

its called a wheelie drop... its not exactly a wheelie but you pull up your front tire to drop!!!!!

[[ eRECTUS ]]

alienscream said:

ah sir iba kasi execution ko, i dont pull up on the front tire to drop but rather kick the pedal to move forward..

labo na ba sir? hehe! Pasensya na... ;D

eto sir yung sinasabi ko kanina parang ganito..



pero w/o the hops at the end..continous momentum lang..

so is it a new term jackslap? parang pedal kick parin eh..or is it just a trials term?

tolits said:

yup, i think hes refering to bullet.

[alien_scream]

well you really kick the pedal to bring the front wheel up para mag drop!!!!!! but that's not pedal kick!!!!! pedal kick is for you to jump gaps and go up!!!!!!

[[ eRECTUS ]]

so i guess i cant do the pedal kick..hehe!!! Buti na malinaw diba sir? ;D

[alien_scream]

hey!!!!! no problem!!!!!! i thought you could teach me!!!!! but any way lets go ride sometime!!!!!!!!

[vertigo]

OH NO!!! peeps i deeply apologize....indeed my bad!

bullet is bong ;D yeah sorry bout that

lolz kaya pala last saturday i was asking bong about a GT ruckus frame he's selling or i thought it was him all the time and he knew nothing about such... hahaha ;D

anyways, what you are doing BuLLiit ( corect? hehe) is a wheelie drop. lurching or pedalkick, as alien described is used to jump gaps to go up, but also can be applied in flatland with the continous hops! dyan magaling si alien, lurching even w/o the springing pedal to lift the front but instead using pure upper body strength to lift the front then springing up from the rear when he's going up on a 2 ft gutter.

anyway however it is called, still it's hard to apply it ;D

sorry again for the mistake ;D

[[ eRECTUS ]]

no big vertigo

si sir alien pala dapat magturo sa atin...

ewan ko kasi parang hinde wheelie drop eh..kasi i usually do it on flat lands to go up bangketas.. ;D

ang gulo..

anyway its just a term..pero hey isn't it why i started this thread anyway! hahaha! ;D

[the D.]

first of all to respectus
ako dapat buliit
kasi mas maliit ako sayo
hehehe.

Skarhed can't do a bunny hop
but he is one hell of a pedal kicker

he can do it with great speed and accuracy
and on a Transition dirtbag with Monster T
napaka bigat

hehehe! Tama ka diyan..

if wat Skarhead does is considered a pedal kick therefore what i execute would probably be considered a pedal kick..i learned from him that's why.. ;D

and btw, Skarhead can do bunnyhops..dehins lang nga kasing taas ng pedal kicks nya..

[alien_scream]

please clarrify what is a pedal kick!!!!!!!

[[ eRECTUS ]]

easy lang sir..7 na yung exclamation points nyo..hehe!

this was the very objective of the thread, in this case i think sir Scandal would have to explain what Skarhead does and Skarhead would have to verify mine.. ;D

hahahaha!

[alien_scream]

like they say in trials the pedal kick is the hardest trick to learn!!!!!!

[alien_scream]

this is the pedal kick!!!!! its the whole sequence!!!!!!

[[ eRECTUS ]]

easy lang sir..

sorry if i appear to be so ignorant compared to you

[alien_scream]

sorry i forgot to attache the link!!!!

[[ eRECTUS ]]

easy lang sir..

to end this confussion here is what i think best explains what i can execute..



..if that's what you consider a pedal kick then wow..if not well too bad for me.. ;D

sorry for the confussion..

[alien_scream]

hey no problem just clarrifying the confusion!!!!!!

walang problema yun!!!!!!

LET RIDE NALANG!!!!!!

[thorno]

a frame with shorter chainstay is easier to pedal kick, so buy a frame with a shorter than normal chainstay lenght...for trials=15inches,street/jump bike=16.5 and for DH=17 above..you can still pedalkick a dh bike its just a matter of technique,Von"V-dub"williams is a good example.
