If you're going up a kerb yes, a park bench, maybe. A rail, no.

If the bars arent near your chest, you can go higher. Thats what defines a good bunnyhop. Pull up until you almost fall backwards(loop out) and then pick up the rear. Its a fine line.

I'd like to see you learn how to type/spell properly. Seriously.

I was bunny hopping my BMX that high before you were born.

I just called up Bob Scerbo, the Gonz, and Troy McMurray. They all agree. It's not impressive.

Thats beacause they can bunny hop horribly high. I think like...4 feet-ish?

That doesn't mean a thing. I ride both and can get the MTB 4' up with a bunny hop. Haven't tried for height yet on the bmx bike though, can also J-hop both bikes.

Me too, err wait that was 10 years ago. ;) :(

Yes, I am very impressed by your bunnyhop. Keep practicing, you can go higher.

ColourClassic, your pic should be under 50kb. Go to http://www.irfanview.com Irfanview is a small program that is super easy for simple pic editing, like resizing and saving at different quality levels to save space. Any pic posted online can be under 100kb and be just fine even at full screen size. Here's your pic at 25kb instead of the 440kb you uploaded. The one that's just the edges I like to do that to pics for my kids to print and color with markers.

Cool bunnyhop. Keep at it.

Yeah. It's like $30/month for 1.5 megabits. And here I am on my ancient 256.

Is it good? Good start I say. Keep practicing, use objects when you feel comfortable to practice on/over. I think you will be fine in the long run...practice is key though, and sometimes a little pain goes a long way in getting better...or taking a learning point from the situation :D

$30 a month? Add that up over a couple years. Not worth it. We aint priting these pics, just for reference.

I pay $35/month right now, down from $80 when I signed up. That covers 4 machines on our home network, including the laptop's wireless connection, and any neighbours that are sponging off my wireless connection. $30 is hardly an expense.

CMcMahon

Seriously. My cellphone bill is twice that. Hell, dial-up cost $30 a month just a few years back.

Now for those of us who can't get DSL or Cable, because Beerman told us to pay for broadband we'll shell out $400 for installation of sattelite, and $50 a month. Even though I will be once the snow melts.

Enough of the stupid pissing contest. If you're bill is that huge, you've got to be pretty stupid. AT&T used to offer me unlimited calls for $89/month. Even running 2 businesses and never being home, my bill was never that much. My evenings were free, so were my weekends and long distance. I called my son in another state every weekend for a at least an hour. I called my wife in Australia using a calling card from my mobile, and it still never got to be a big expense. It's lame to brag about how much money you waste.
