Hey what up guys , so I need help on pulling my bunnyhops constantly. Like I know how to them and I've done plenty before it's just sometimes when I go for one I pull and the front wheel just goes high and makes me loop out which makes me bring my feet to the ground. I try to scoop the back end but the front still loops out. It's just irritating how I get mad rather then having fun. Maybe it's cause I ride without a sprocket at the moment cause I bent mine, but I still wanna ride cause I love it. But the hops is what I wanna get constantly. So any advice to help better my hops would be greatly appreciated. Thnx

sprocket sint it

what pedals are you running? what condition are the pinns in? what kind of shoes are you running? do they grip well enough? try just scooping the pedals(like a nolle/nose manual) the higher you pull the bars up, the harder it is to scoop the pedals,

So I was just practicing my hops and I can get them fairly well. But I think what's fucking up my confidence with them is the pedels. Like I'm picky where my feet feel comfortable on them before i execute the hop. But I'm hesitant when I land that my feet will slip off, like these pedels suck man. But what do u guys think? Can the pedels really affect the constancy off ur hops? And if yeah what are sum good pedels u guys recommend ? Thnx

well, your pedals are the first thing that connects your feet to the bike not counting shoes sooo YES!
slippy pedals suck!!!!

heres some good ones that i know are pretty popular, metal metals grip and are stronger, but over time get sharpened up and can hurt pretty good, plastic is less of a hurt factor, but come at a strength cost, but tend to be cheaper and unsealed most of the time.

Yes pedals can mess with you, you need to get some pedals that feel good on your feet, try the odyssey twisted, it's what most people run but in the end it's what feels good to you.

pedals are cheap enough, just do this, next time you have a birthday coming up, ask each friend to buy you a diffrent pedal of each kind (the cheap ones first) and just try them all out, if you find ones you REALLY LIKE make a note of them and when ya put them on, and when they break and rate em when the list is done and all the pedals are broken, look at it, and you'll be able to see which ones are the best for you and how long they last. I run dk plastic pc cuz thats what came on my bike, next time going to run Shadow Ravangers, because they look like a pedal off a mongoose bike I rode at work, which was SUPER GRIPPY i liked em enough i took a picture of them was the pedals off this bike

You should see the pedals Eddie Cleveland and Ian Schwartz used. Look at them and then tell me yours "are too slippy". Having shitty pins or no pins on your pedals may make things harder, but its not a huge difference. Just keep riding

I'm on the vital legit list!

Honestly, getting higher hops is just something that happened for me over time. I can now hop onto or over something that is stem height with ease. Anything higher, may mess it up on the first try but I can usually eventually get it.

Just pull up on the bars and then push out on the bars as you are hucking the back end up into your ass with your feet and legs.
