hi there ive been riding for many years and have an aggressive riding style but ive never properly learned to bunnyhop objects, im now kicking myself i didnt learn this as a kid, so ive been trying it recently with a peice of wood over a speedbump where i often go riding. I also hop as many kerbs as possible these days but my technique is lacking, i just do the same thing everytime. I was filming a video diary on my phone of it and attached is how i was doing at the last time of trying.
the folllowing link show the video; can anyone give me some advice on what i need to do or other exercises i could be doing to improve my technique??? Thanks muchly!! Bunnyhop Video |

The problem is that BMX riders have it a hell of a lot easier, the bike is much smaller and lighter and to pop a manual takes so little effort so to pop a manual and then stretch your body and compress it by pushing forwards takes minimal effort.
Ofcourse hardtails are always the easiest because i find you don't lose any of your "bounce" to the rear absorbing it. |
