This video will show you exactly how to pedal kick on your bike - the trials skill which forms the foundation of EVERY other technique that you'd ever want to learn.
Most people try to learn pedal kicks from the back wheel, which requires a starting point of being able to hop on the back wheel (or at least have solid back wheel balance). With the two drills that I've outlined here (surge and sidewhip), you can learn pedal kicks without needing to be on the back wheel.
The main part of this skill is the connection between your rear brake and pedals, no back wheel skill required! We can start with that and you'll eventually progress to back wheel pedal kicks, but this video goes deep into forming a strong connection between your brakes and pedals - which I believe is the most useful element in all of trials riding.
