Well a bunny hop takes time but isnt too hard...a manual...can you wheelie? Do you know the exact point your bike will tip you backwards? Are you quick on the brake modulation? Manuals are easy to explain but if you don't know the balance point and have crappy modulating brakes you won't pull it off...

It is a lot to explain so I will direct you to a good site

There are a few techniques for bunny hopping but the best way I learned how was doing mving endos. Esentially learning how to lift your rear tire without needing to brake. Once you have that figured out lift your front tire and then do that same move. :)
