dude!!! I've watched tons of tutorials on UA-cam from GMBN, Lenosky, Sam Pligrim, Berm Peak, skills with Phils, just to name a few and yours is by FAR the best one out there, second to none! keep ripping it with the videos, they're awesome! thanks man!
I watch your videos daily over and over again then trying to put it into practice I’m struggling with side balance once in the back wheel I can do some small pedal hops now and again your tutorials are helping a lot though
So awesome! Try to spread your knees a bit wider and sink down on the back wheel. That wider stance combined with a slightly lower center of gravity should help!
I have watched soooo many other tutorial videos. Yours are simply the best. Thank you for putting out high quality content!! I have been so inspired by your videos and I am having loads of fun just practicing the techniques!
I haven't been able to get this but i just realized im not holding the brakes right up until just before the kick. Ill have to try that on my ride tonight!
Thanks Teracis!! Sometimes it’s helpful to break everything back down to the very basics - even for me, it’s like good maintenance to be sure my fundamentals are spot on. Thanks for the assist with these tutorials on the Twitch livestream, too!
Would be nice to see a more (or about the same) basic - how to pedal up. I mean the movement bringing you to the back wheel stand position by pushing the front pedal while standing still.
Its a power assisted bunny hop :D The peddle kick helps to pull the front up (into a standing upright stright posistion) then the momentum of this gives you the hight then lift your feet up while pushing the bars forward with this momentum, easy lol
Alright. This will be my next focus for progression. Aaron, and others, if I have a little fear from a couple loop outs to my back from my mod, will trying to learn on my 29er first be beneficial? Still don’t wheelie we’ll- don’t have my balance point.
I'm not sure if the 29er will make much difference, to be honest. It's likely going to be more difficult with a bigger wheel like that. Not impossible, though. Also - there is a "newer" pedal kick tutorial video on this channel from a few months back - you may want to watch that one as well.
@@SuperRiderTV tonight’s homework then! Btw. I need to credit you, Mr Lutze, with my moderate success at the Baraboo Trials comp in Wisconsin last weekend 🙏. I rode beginner mtb and then sport on my 20”. The Super Challenging sport sections were set by our US elite national champ who can’t remember what is is to be an average beginner -if he ever knew.🤣🤣🤣. I learned that I and lot of us need to practice just navigating steep terrain on our trials bikes for next year’s Baraboo.
@@jeffhayes1855 That's awesome, I'm so glad you competed! I want to try to get out there for the event next year, I'm from Wisconsin originally...and I know that zone is legit!
Timely video for what I'm working on. One issue I seem to have doing the side whip is that I end up counter-rotating. What I mean by that is that I end up kicking my rear wheel in the desired direction, but instead of my front going in that direction, I have just rotated it the opposite way. So for example if I'm trying to side whip to the right, my rear wheel will land on the obstacle, but my front will be off to the left. Any suggestions how to correct that tendency?
If you’re under rotating the front wheel like that, you might consider pulling the bike slightly more vertical when you jump. That will make it easier to spin. However, I wouldn’t worry too much about the rotation at this point, you don’t need to make a full 90-degree pivot to be successful at this movement. Truthfully, just a slight twist should be all you need to get onto the obstacle. Also - are you hopping toward your back foot? That will make it easier, too. I know you’ve been working on that! 👊
@@SuperRiderTV OK, thanks bro. I'll try 18t for the back. I've just learned to pedal kick, after 2 steps I always lose strength, it's very difficult to maintain balance right and left. can you give any tips? Thank You
@@deddyzhy9203 Use your knees, spread just a bit wider to give yourself a more stable platform. This also comes with more time, you'll be able to get them under control the more you practice the skill. I also try to sit my weight further back over the back wheel, which helps with my control as well. Have fun!
@@SuperRiderTV Ok Bro. Maybe because I haven't studied street trials for a long time, only 2 months ago I made a trial bike. Sorry if there are a lot of wrong words, and the language is bad, because I use gtranslate 🙏 Maybe you can also recommend techniques or tricks for beginners to learn, and sort them too 😁 Thank You
Sure about any direction? Would be interesting to see pedal kicking backward. 🙂 I guess I got the idea of getting to back wheel via pedal up or whatever they call it. But pedal kick is hard because you need not only push the pedal but you you have to move your feet a bit beforehand. That's complicated.
Not much, more guiding them back than anything. Your body weight on the back of the bike should help lever the front wheel up, so when you add the pedal kick motion, the job is done. If you’re pulling up too hard, there is a good chance that you’re leaning your body too far forward over the bottom bracket.
It's certainly a lot harder, especially if you don't have your rear suspension locked out...but it is possible. Try getting your weight even further back than you think you need to be (look down at your rear hub to make sure you're in the right spot).
Hey i tried it at the edge of the curb and i always slipping the back wheel when i precisely pull the brake at the edge of the curb, it's like my nack wheel couldn't grip at the edge of the curb could you tell me what do i do wrong?
I haven’t had any problems with it, thankfully. I’ll get sore if I do a lot of big repetitive motions (like the day I practiced bunnyhopping up the 3’ box for two hours), but otherwise no issues. 🤞

Thanks so much!! That means a lot!
One of the most important Trials tutorials to ever be on UA-cam, thank you Aaron
Wow, thanks!! Much appreciated!
Thank you for breaking down this movement. Makes progression much easier.
Happy to do it - hope this helps!

Thanks, Aaron for a great video about pedal kicks. You did an amazing job of explaining the technique.
Thanks Martin!! Thanks for the assist on the Twitch livestream with this!
Это видео потрясающее! Теперь я знаю, как пошагово научиться этой технике)
This guy is so good at explaining things!
Thanks so much!
@@SuperRiderTV I'd be very interested in a pump track or jump track how to video. Keep up the good work!
Good call for sure!! Thank you!
Great breakdown! This reminds me I haven't done these drills enough!

What is the recommended gear ratio with 25 front gears? now I use a ratio of 25x14. Thank You
I'm running a 22x18 on this bike, so you might try a slightly larger gear in the back if you have a 25t front cog.
@@SuperRiderTV OK, thanks bro. I'll try 18t for the back.

Am use the front brake or the rear brake?
Both, but the back brake is where the magic happens
@@SuperRiderTV thank you mate. Im just starting trials bike now. All of your videos is a big help to me as a beginner.
Sure about any direction? Would be interesting to see pedal kicking backward. 🙂
I guess I got the idea of getting to back wheel via pedal up or whatever they call it. But pedal kick is hard because you need not only push the pedal but you you have to move your feet a bit beforehand. That's complicated.
For steps 1 & 2, how much are you pulling up on your bars?
Not much, more guiding them back than anything. Your body weight on the back of the bike should help lever the front wheel up, so when you add the pedal kick motion, the job is done. If you’re pulling up too hard, there is a good chance that you’re leaning your body too far forward over the bottom bracket.
@@SuperRiderTV Thanks! I'm learning a ton through your vids!
So stoked to hear it!! Have fun!
Just got an inspired flow 2021, 51 years old, fat with one arm slightly shorter than the other ( accident)
What could possibly go wrong..
You got this!! You’re in the right place!
I'm still working on it! But I get so scared of pushing the pedals and falling
Practice makes progress. Start on two wheels with those first few drills, it will help you build confidence! You got this!
Is it possible on full suspension bike? I have tried with almost 0 result... :(
It's certainly a lot harder, especially if you don't have your rear suspension locked out...but it is possible. Try getting your weight even further back than you think you need to be (look down at your rear hub to make sure you're in the right spot).
@@SuperRiderTV Yes! Finally I am able take off the front wheel. Not very high, but it is a start:)
Hey i tried it at the edge of the curb and i always slipping the back wheel when i precisely pull the brake at the edge of the curb, it's like my nack wheel couldn't grip at the edge of the curb could you tell me what do i do wrong?
Do you ever get tendonitis in your elbows?
I haven’t had any problems with it, thankfully. I’ll get sore if I do a lot of big repetitive motions (like the day I practiced bunnyhopping up the 3’ box for two hours), but otherwise no issues. 🤞

You forgot mention that in MTB the gear should be lower to get more power. In high gear the bike won't move.
That is true! The bike I'm riding in this video has a 22:18 gear ratio, super light by comparison (about third or fourth gear on a MTB)
