i can bunnyhop about 4 inches:mad:.i can get up on sidewalks sometimes.
man how can i improve my bunnyhop?? i need to get it higher.
please Help.

Set up objects to try and hop them. It's better if the object is not very sturdy so that if you don't make it, it will fall over, instead of yourself falling over. Try using 2X4s stactked on top of eachother, that works well.

Quoted for truth. Setting up boxes or whatever in the road and just getting used to hopping over at various speeds is good because it makes you work on your timing, which is really important. After you can hop over little stuff and hop decently high, then you can work your way up to bigger objects.
Also, just try hopping at slow speeds to work on your technique. Here's a page with a detailed explanation of the steps: http://www.bmxbasics.org/new/bmx0703.html

I've found that you hop higher when you're trying to clear something. For example, I can't hop high up a curb or on flat, but if I'm hopping from flat onto a ledge/bench/whatever, I can do it without issue.

just ride your bike more man

I've noticed the same thing.

My firends ask me how high I can bunny hop, and it's just over a curb. But I have no problem getting onto benches, ledges and over medians.

I'm the other way 'cause my timing sucks. Can hop like 2 feet if there's nothing around, but if I try and hop a 10" thing I'll hit it with my back wheel half the time because I hopped too late..

im like that aswell, it sucks

This is true.

Try it out.

Lol ya im goin to lower my seat and jump up things more..thanks for your help everyone.

no prob

Just stick with it, thats the best advice, the more you ride, the better you get.

ya lower you seat it helped me soooooo much. i could hop like a foot but then i lowerd my seat and i can hop like 2.5 feet now

ya and its better to do a "j-hop" to right? like i noticed that im bunnyhoping the "cheap" way,both tires go off the ground same time instead of front tire goin up then halin up my back tire.

ya i say bunny hop but it is a j hop i guess ive jsut always called it a bunny hop

There is no such thing as a "j-hop".

I hate those people that use the term "J-hop" its weird.

Its a damn bunny hop. BUNNY HOP.

It's A J HOP. J HOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naw i know its a bunny hop,before i heard a few people call it a j-hop(u get the point)

No, that would be a normal bunnyhop. There's bunnyhops, and nollies. That's it.

Nollies down stair sets look pretty sweet.

There is no such thing as a "j-hop".
Not true there spanky, I'm gonna get all oldskool on ya :D say that I raced back in the early 80's into the late 80's and we (neighborhood racers) always called it a "j-hop". A bunny hop was when both wheels were lifted at the same time. I've been calling it j-hop before you were born I would imagine.

BTW My highest "j-hop" was a full size trash can standing upright.

Maybe so, but the proper term now is "bunny hop".

By the way, Thats a high bunny hop.

That's fine if the name has changed, I'm just saying that there is/was such a thing as a j-hop.

By the way, Thats a high bunny hop.
Well, I clipped the back edge with my back wheel, but I landed rubber down. I j-hopped :rolleyes: it on my Brother's Hutch, a lot this one.
