Front Hops and how to do them. I'm going to teach you everything I know.
This trick was twenty years in the making - not because front hops are particularly hard, but because I decided that I couldn’t do them and convinced myself that I didn’t need them.
This year, my New Years resolution was to finally get over it and learn the trick. Twenty years of half-hearted attempts to get it had failed me, and I was going to do whatever it took to get the job done.
I had watched @TheUselessTrials front hop segment so many times, and it just wasn’t clicking for me. It wasn’t until I committed fully and spent full sessions focused on finding the balance point that it finally started to click.
The other thing that got in the way was instantly trying to learn the front hop 360 right away. I wasn’t giving enough credit to the proper front hop and spending enough time getting that balance point locked in. I just went for it every time, and that wasn’t helping matters either.
So in this video, I broke down fifteen of my best tips - and they are broken into three parts:
0:00 The Foundation
1:47 Front Hop Basics
6:28 Details + Technique
11:46 Trick Tweaks + 360 Hop
