J Hop on a Bike

The J Hop is one of the first tricks you can learn. After you master this, go on to bigger and better tricks.

Steps

  1. Ride normally. Get a good amount of speed going before trying the trick.
  2. Do a wheelie. When your tire is in the air, lean forward and push out on your handle bars.
  3. Your back tire should go up at least a little if not try to push harder. Sometimes if you don't push hard you won't get it to move.
  4. Practice getting a little air until you get higher and farther than when you started. If you are comfortable doing the trick, then you can practice jumping onto curbs.
  5. Practice frequently.



Tips

  • Having a light weight bike helps with this trick.
  • You may first need to know what it feels like to get your bike into the air. To do that, you may want to hit a ramp.
  • To have a better time, learn with your friends and make a party out of it.
  • Always wear a helmet.

Warnings

  • Don't lean forward too much, or you could fall over.
  • Don't try jumping onto a curb until you are completely sure that you can do it. Make sure you are not only going at least {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} higher then the curb but getting really far.

Things You'll Need

  • A bike
  • Helmet (recommended for all)
