it looks like you’re relying on your legs to do all the work. Squat down more before picking up the front tire and use the weight of your body to propel the back tire off the ground. Start with learning to get more comfortable being over your back wheel. Do a few wheelies, to get the tire as high as possible without falling backwards (don’t be afraid to fall backwards), definitely can see some progress already!🤘🏽
Yep… I think there’s some improvement. Think about trying to bring your front tire a little higher and slowly you’ll start getting there.
Leaning back is going to really help use your weight versus your arms. Lots of solid advice all around
Looking good. Move your bars back a little bit and it might help with the front end for you.
Your going about it all wrong. In the video your body is centred on the bike the whole time, but you need to pull your weight back like you’re going into a manual, then push your weight forward and pop and try to level out while in the air. It’s kind of hard to explain, but the motion makes sense when you see it slowed down. Youtube is useful for this sort of thing. You just have to commit to the rearward motion or you’ll never get good pop.
You’ll learn over time, looks like good first beginner attempts, better than your last video. Honestly though, work on getting stronger, do sprints, rows, squats, standing jumps, bench press. There’s a lot of workouts that will help your bike strength a lot. Keep at it big dog!
