Bunnyhoppin higher

im the same way right now, im stuck at like a 2 foot bunnyhop and wish i could go higher

1. Weight back...as if you're doing a manual
2. Pull up with your arms and push down with your legs to lift the front up (see, the bike is like a lever)
3. The back wheel won't come up much (if at all) farther than the front wheel does, so focus on getting the front wheel up for a little bit, then the next step is getting the rear wheel up.
4. Push the bars forward and tuck your legs up to unweight the pedals...this levels out the bike.
5. Land.

The answer to your question is that having an obstacle to focus on getting over helps A LOT....in fact, I'd say it's the BEST method to get higher bunnyhops...it helps so much. It doesn't really matter if you're jumping over or onto something...both ways are great for getting the right form, timing, and more height.

hey thanks. and tibug, if u watched he primo b=video, it should be every color of the rainbow, no homo.

If you have a bike pump that stands, lift up the handle to about as high as you think you can jump. If you tip it over you wont crash. I use my pump all the time to see how high I can jump and I get over handlebars.

Yes, the trick is to have some kind of obstacle to jump over. It will help you jump higher because you may think you can't do it but you actually can. It also gives you an idea of how high you can jump as well.

LOlz, I watched that...I SWEAR on my life that I had my sig before I saw that video...no homo.

i would say onto thingsa is easrier cause if u case it your less scrwed

i have a fear of jumping off shit..i feel like my front tire is going to go straight in the ground and imma flip over the handlebars, probably because of that happening to me twice at a young age.

well thats bniking man u can t be afraid u gotta have confidenc

jeezow mirraco learn how to spell its driving me nuts

Practice over things, you go higher over things

hppin onto shit is wat helped me i cant hop over shit i get way to nervous if i wont make it n ill crash but hoppin onto shit at an angle or sideways is easier for me also then hoppin straight onto it cuz i get afraid my back tire will hit
