[ Trials Techniques - Hopping to rear wheel from bashguard ]

This move has limited applications, but in those cases where you need it it's the only game in town. This move will frequently show up in Sport and Expert level stuff, and if you can pull it off it will save you a lot of dabbing.

This is one of the trials moves that requires a very exaggerated and vigorous movement to pull off. It's hard to do, but with some practice you can eventually get it. The best way to practice this would be to find a bench, low wall or stack of pallets that is high enough that you can rest your bashguard on it. From this position, you need to make a very dramatic upwards movement with your entire body, lifting with your arms at the same time. You practically need to jump off the bike upwards, bringing it with you as you go. When you have gotten far enough of the ground, you push forward with your feet, which swings the rear wheel under you, hopefully right on top of the object you were resting on.

It's hard, and it'll just take practice to get it. If you can hop forward well, getting a bike length or more, you will probably have an easier time. Just over-exaggerate everything, doing more than you think is necessary.
