[How To] 360 HOP (with vid)

[blkbike]

so these have taken me a very, very long time to learn. I started doing them but I would pivot a whole bunch. A proper three should be landed with both wheels landing at the same time. I could never do this no matter how hard I tried. so here is how I learned

1. aproach trick with moderate/slow speed

2. start to carve, some may find it easier to carve alot.

3. when you start your carve you will want to start your hop, and look over your shoulder

4. IMPORTANT!!! its very hard to just tuck your three, so what I do is intentionally nose dive, or "dip" my front wheel. this will feel extremely odd at first but it helps level the whole bike out.

5. keep it tight. the tighter you keep your body rolled up the faster you will go.

6. you are going to want to drop your back end early but you must keep it up if you have a hard time landing a full rotation. sometimes leaning over your bars helps alot (thanks shdowconpiracy)

7. absorb as much of the impact as you can.

8. sometimes turning your bars helps keep the momentum going when you land.

keep in mind that this isnt the best three that ive done but it is the one I did today for this vid. watch it carefully

how long had you been riding before you could land this?

[gtbmx0222]

and how long did you practice this before you could land it?

looking extremely nice, but one thing i noticed..... you didnt land on straight line, meaning the direction u were going before the hop and after the hop wasnt on the same line, but whatever, props

[blkbike]

i didnt land in the same "line" i was going in because I carve. show me a flat land three that someone doesnt carve atleast a lil in.

ive been riding for about 3 years. I pretty much just learned them. I could almost do them for a long time, so it shouldent take you that long. if you try really hard for a while you should be able to get it

When i try them i intend to take my foot off the landing because i land my front wheel first its scary...

ya last year i was trying to learn 180 hops and i would always take my foot off...this year i came out of hibernating and could do it easily...now i'm interested in doing a bunny hop 3 but as you said i can basically do them with a pivot..
