Wheelie, manual and bunny hop
Ready when: Front wheel lift and obstacles (i4) and Pumptrack first laps (i8) done; flat pedals.
What the coach teaches
The wheelie, first with helpers beside the rider on grass and a finger on the back brake; the manual; hopping on the spot; lifting the back wheel; and the bunny hop, front wheel first and then the back.
At home, safe only
Hopping on the spot with the brakes on; front-wheel lifts from Front wheel lift and obstacles (i4).
Ask the club
Sessions on flat pedals; pads and gloves.
What you can see from the side
A finger on the back brake in every wheelie and manual.
Self-check what the coach confirms
The coach marks a controlled wheelie to a set mark.
Stop and get a coach when
A fall backwards, or the rider starts trying drops and jumps.
