help me guys!i can't do a bunnyhop for alot of trys.IT was made to lift up the front wheels first and then back wheel.but how to lift up the back wheel?

after u pull up the front wheel point urre toes at the ground then use your legs to pull the back end up

[specialized_bmx]

Pull your front wheel up and then throw your weight forward and pull your legs up at the same time

[dcdomain]

For a bunnyhop don't both wheels go up at the same time? Sounds like a bronco if you pull the front up first then the back...

bunnyhop, bronco, deer hop, dolphin, j-hop and many other terms are used to describe the same thing.

lifting your bike off the ground, without the use of a ramp, can be called any number of things. if someone tells you differently, ask them to show you documented proof. they won't be able to unless they have a few books that were produced in the early 1980's.

alot of people think a J-hop is different then a bunnyhop. but they are incorrect. they are essentialy the same thing. different parts of the world call things differently.

do you have a different opinion?

how did you form this opinion, if you do have a different one?

[IBe-MX]

No No No i completely agree! i just find it funny that you have so much information on such a small subject :beer: no offense intended sir :D jk

I've been riding a bike and doing bunnyhops for over 20 years. I never even heard the word J-hop until the 90's.

it bugs me when people don't know what they are talking about, ya know.

:D

[IBe-MX]

WOO! 20 years?! how high can u j-hop?! JK! Bunnyhop, lol :D

[pnj]

how high?

I don't know, it's been a long time since I went out with a tape measure. we used to joke that you only needed to be able to hop high enough to get onto handrails.

mabye 3 feet is my highest. but probably closer to 30 inches. two feet is easy for me, it gets harder after that if I don't practice.

PNJ,

You should keep a saved copy of that post you did last year on ridemonkey, with the pics from the bmx mag 20 years ago. You seem to answer this question every 6 months or so ;)...

I hope I can help...It's all technique, not just being the Hulk. Compress into the bike, weight centered. (alot of stuff happens all at once..bear with me). As you start to pull back/up on your bars, spring your body weight up, and follow with your legs. You need to use your feet to pull the pedals and back end up into your body. As all this is going on, push your arms/bars forward. Put on your best attitude face for the cameras as you clear the picnic table by a mile. Try watching a video clip of Edwin Delarosa in slow motion..that guy has trampoline springs in his knees!! Once you get the basic hop wired try hopping over things that will squash if you hit them. I've been hopping since maybe 1983..I can get on picnic tables and I have arthritis in my right shoulder..You can do it.
Have a boat load of fun flying over crap..Ken :)
