Getting Controlled Backhops

This is my first tutorial for a while so I decided to go with a highly requested one...backhops.
They are such a vital move for trials riding yet can be extremely difficult to learn. Even though I'm doing this on a trials bike the same tips should translate over to just about any bike...just some might take more of an effort than others.
If you can already backhop then let me know what moves you'd like to see in the future.
I have a more detailed version of this on my Patreon page with options for interactive feedback on your riding too!

@Katari-san 5 лет назад

The fact that you're taking the time to explain the common mistakes of a beginner is actually giving me a chance to see exactly what i am doing wrong. That's a noticeable plus in every single one of your tutorial, which make me incline to actually listen and apply what you're teaching here, since you do tell us what a mistake, as well as a success, will look like, instead of only telling us the latter. Keep being fluent!

@aaron.biketrials 2 года назад

I love Ali for the same reason. He's so thorough in what he says.

@mattmoulton8537 5 лет назад

To anyone learning this just want to mention it takes a LOT of time and practice to get comfortable. It took me 3-4 weeks of practicing about an hour each day before I could just hop in place indefinitely. To actually get it controlled and relaxed it will take even longer. Relaxed is an important one because, as Ali mentions, it is extremely exhausting with bad technique. Don't get discouraged and keep at it!

Thanks for taking the time to make such great content. I'm 56 in a couple of weeks, have a wee DMRE Sect DJ bike, and really want to learn some trials tricks. JUSt working on basic track standing now. Too hot to gear up properly, but will get back to that soon, to work on manuals. Meantime, this back-hop tutorial gives me some great stuff to work on.

Just hopped five times with aplomb! Been trying for years and this is the first video that clicked. _"you have to make your body go there first"_ - why hasn't anyone else said that?! Obvious in hindsight, but key for a beginner! Took three sessions and i made my 5 hop breakthrough. Loads more to learn. Have this video on repeat. Thank you @aliclarkson !!

I’ve waited for ages to see a great quality, well explained tutorial oh how to backhop. This is exactly it! I love how many tips and tricks there are to help you out and all the techniques are explained in deep detail. I can’t wait to see more tutorials pop up on your channel Ali. And can’t wait to start learning how to backhop! Keep up the great work Ali, hard work pays off! 😊🤘🏼

@multihamsandwich 4 года назад

Started riding trials today, made some progress with backhops however just realised from this video that i'm pulling my bars up rather than transferring weight back when cranking up into them. Going from a bench or ledge I don't tend to have that problem, so big thanks to all the videos you do Ali and congrats on the new edit.

Nice video Ali! I'd like to add in some tips from my experience learning back hops, i recommend learning to manual for a short distance, helped me to control the bike side to side and not fall sideways by using your knees, makes you feel comfortable in the balance point too! Can't wait to see the new patreon content too!

@biketothetop 5 лет назад

Very clear, calm, confidence inspiring instructions that only a master could give. Sharing is a noble trait! Great work! Thanks, it is good to understand all the effort and skills that go into a single component of making a fluid series of riding moves that are not normally individually the focus for analysis during a recreational view of one of your videos. What I'm saying is that these element details can be taken for granted if not studied in their individual own right.

@twistedenglish1412 5 лет назад

My man Al 🤙 I just commented on one of Tom Cardys videos for a back hop tutorial. You’re one of the main reasons I’m trying to get into trials, got myself an Arcade Pro. Cheers so much for the great content

Je ne sais pas à quel moment je me suis arrêté de faire du vélo. J’ai le vélo de Dany MacAskill de way Back Home (le tout premier modèle avec les tasseaux pour les freins à patin + disque) et RU-vid a arrêté de me proposer vos vidéos. et par hasard je suis retombé sur vos vidéos qui m’a donné envie de mis remettre. merci! I don't know when I stopped cycling. I have Dany MacAskill's bike from way Back Home (the very first model with the cleats for the pad + disc brakes) and RU-vid has stopped showing me your videos. and by chance I came across your videos which made me want to put it back. thank you!

@JayMisuraca 5 лет назад

Nice! I just started getting these after practicing all these techniques for maybe the last year or so. The missing piece of the puzzle for me was that I wasn't keeping my core, shoulders, and hips engaged enough and was just folding backwards like a limp noodle. Being in a strong position made a world of difference!

@dynamicadaptivesolutions1586 5 лет назад

I've been working on these for the better part of a year, starting to get the hang of them. Once I got to where I could consistently hop 10 or more times, I was stuck without progress for a while. Always hopping backwards and in circles. Decided I needed to set a goal,, so my goal was to hop down the two stair set at the skatepark. Was able to get that fairly quick. Something about having to look at the steps just made it work for me. After that I was able to hop almost in one spot and even pedal kick forward. Now I can do the six stair set at the park. I still need to clean them up and find it difficult to switch from forward hops to hopping in place, but setting a goal to aim for was huge for me.

@TheUselessTrials 5 лет назад

I was curious to see if there are noticable differences between your technique and mine. It looks like you keep your rear brake locked through the really small stationary hops, whereas I unlock it for every hop, even the small ones. (At least I think so) I'll give it a test to see if changing this will improve my control. :)

@claytonhorvat7598 5 лет назад

You're very good bud. I hop backwards on my back tire, and that's as far as I've got with years of practice. I don't want to be negative, but I just know there's things I can't do, like I remember there was a guy doing turn downs on this jump we were jumping, and it was just something I couldn't do. I don't think your video will change my abilities, but it was interesting insight.

@WictorOlseryd 4 года назад

Just wanted to say thanks for this video. Went out back with my DJ and what do you know - 10 mins later I did a (1 (one)) hop! So yeah, I guess we're both professional trials riders now. I wonder what discipline I should master next.. 🤔

@dimensionsofearth 5 лет назад

Took me years just to learn basic backhops and I'm only beginning to feel comfortable doing them. I thought I'd never figure it out! Now I'm dreaming that one day I'll be able to do them half as good as you. What tutorials next? Maybe stoppie but really you're so good at everything and these tutorials are awesome so any moves really, and tell us how long it took you to develop some of these moves.

Hey Ali, awesome video, mate. I've been playing around with back wheel hops for a while now on my hardtail MTB. they're coming slowly but I was wondering, would a set of riser bars help my progression. I have carbon bars with a 15mm rise but feel like 30mm+ would be better. What do you think? Cheers Michael

@jesse-dg8yx 5 лет назад

Could you try and do a hopscotch? (not sure if i spelt it right). the thing where you go along a ladder kind of thing with two feet, one foot, two, one... But instead of feet, wheels. If you want rules I would say when it's both wheels, they have to touch the floor at basically the same time. You should also try going to a kids park and doing the real hopscotch to get the spacing right. I hope I'm making sense, if not just ask and ill explain more

I'm trying to learn back hops on my trail bike at the moment. I've already bend a cog on my cassette and straightened it when practising on the bigger cogs. I find it much easier in the bigger cogs but should I be learning it in the smaller ones that won't flex as much?

pulling the rear brake always drops the front end for me can only do with pedal pressure.

@user-ju9nj8sb9x 2 года назад

It already took months of trying to get to back wheel by pedal and... I still can't. I can hit the pedal and lift the front wheel but most of the time I end up having my body too forward. I have a great fear of falling backward... And at the same time usually I leaning to unleading (or what's the word) foot (so it would be comfortable to step down of a bike). Trying to fight all of that but with a little result yet.

@hendrkweiss 5 лет назад

I cant hold my balance. I would either fall to left or rightor back or forward
