Over yo- mamma.
Yo mammas so fat> HOW FAT IS SHE?
Yo mamma soo's fat, she's wearin' an afro with my bike chain as a chin strap.
Crap...I don't jump soo well. ' bout the same as my johnson. 6 in and then some.
I kidd,
yo Momma is a saint..
treat your family right.
Give it where you came from. Respect is earned.
Given, gained.
Old schoooooooooooooooooooooool.
LOL!
Trying hard, still under a foot.
Let me be the first to say that was completely random ... I like it.
But back to the point, I have been trying to get my bunnyhops better for a while but I'm still jumping around a foot maybe alil more on a good day.

the higher you pull the bar up the higher you go. when at the top row the bar forward. push it from where it is(close to chest) to as far as you can push forward. i've bunnyhopped 3.5 feet high but that was 3-4 years ago. i've got on four foot ledges with my mtb though. big wheels help i guess! keep trying you'll get better.

for some reason i can bunnyhop much higher when theres an obstacle im clearing. i can easily bunnyhop up a 2.5ft ledge, but can only bunnyhop like 1.5 ft with no obstacles around.

Same here.. I can grind a ledge that I couldnt jump as high as if I just tried to do it next to it.
i can't even bunnyhop over a can

yea thats wat i ment..if i just try to bunnyhop in general onto nothing i can go bout 1 1/2 but onto things is a different story. umm 4 foot ledges? the highest bunnyhop eva is about 4 foot...
sxe fbm rider
10-20-04, 11:12 AM
Well my friend grinded a 4 foot loading dock thing when he was like 13.. He's amazing.. Only like 15 now.. incredible.. but yea, I hurt my wrists jumping off this thing and he feeble grinds it after less than 10 tries.. And your average handrail is probably a little over 3 feet.

10-20-04, 10:43 PM
fbm rider u kno wat i mean..eva - ever. are you stupid or something. and if im not mistaken 1 foot is 12 inches? so 48 inches is pretty amazing for a 13 yr old..but the highest bunnyhop is over made measuring stick not onto a ledge..

Actually, EVA is "extravehicular activity", referring to "activity or maneuvers performed by an astronaut outside a spacecraft in space" according to The American Heritage Dictionary.

No, some people just get sick of others who don't like to even try to type correctly on the internet... U no wat i men ryt?
Probably my best height was in the 3 foot range - cleared an inverted 33 gallon trash can entirely. So, probably a little higher than 3 feet to clear the entire thing. But, that was about 10 years ago now. :)

Yes, I'm clearly not heterosexual because I looked something up on dictionary.com.

I jumped my road bike over a double set of railroad tracks once. I was going about 25 mph, but have no idea how high I jumped.

i have only been riding for 6 months and have a heavy bike but i can bunnyhop bout 3 feet already practice heaps with a heavy bike then when you get on a light one youll be able to bunnyhop high

i can get on any picnic table, i can stop in a manual on a 33 gal can then 360 off. i can most definately bunnyhop 3.5 or higher. all you have to do to get on a table is get your front tire up, then row the bars forward while pulling with feet.basically you land riding and endo. i ride trials so this is normal. check it out guys!

10-23-04, 06:28 AM
how can u jump both fronth wheel and back wheel together?

10-23-04, 07:12 AM
well you gotta learn sometime i guess, a bunnyhop is when you pull up the handlebars and kind of put your feet pointing towards the grond on your pedals and then pull up the back by pushing down on the pedals. a wheelie is when you pull up the front and pedal to keep it up. do manuals though, they are a lot cooler. I don't think my description made any sense at all, so check out bmxtrix.com and go to a tricks section. that guy knows a lot.

I bunnyhopped onto the bedcover of my truck once! Once I got up there I was like WTF?? How did I do that???:eek:,,,,BD
Nah, I'm full of it. Maybe 8-10 inches. I can't trust myself not to fly over the bars when the back wheel hits what I am trying to clear. I'm a 37 y/o guy, on a 20+ y/o Mongoose. The possibility of personal injury is high, but I am still having a blast.

im trying to start a fight by admitting i was kidding and saying you are NOT stupid.. did you bother to read the post..

i belive the highest bunnyhop ever recorded (i saw this in the guiness book of record) was like 44 inches.
they also said the longes endo held was 23 seconds, which i was like, ok not very long but it went on to say the guy did a wheelie on the front wheel for 23 sec without toughing the pedals. correct me if im wrong endos and wheelies are two different things.

About 20 years ago I could do a foot / foot n a half on a bmx bike. but now i'm old and don't fit on those & can only do about 6 in on a mtn bike.

I did a bunny hop once...durrrr.
Haha I have NO clue how high...umm I ride a Haro Backtrail X1 that is heavy as ****, but it seems like my light mountain bike is almost too lose to do very high. I just need my new freestyle mtb. But I am guessing 2foot range? More if there is an obstacle.

Can't, I'm 6'4. :D
Maybe I can, haven't ridden a bmx in many moons. But a buddy still has all our bikes from the good old days.

I would say i can bunnyhop about 3 3 1/2 feet
We spent 1/2 hour trying to get a bunny hop at night, 5th floor on the rooftop of a car park, with my digital camera,ET syle with the moon behind me, reckon 1 foot and 1/2 , hard to know without clearing an object of known height, i.e a 1Ft log or something, cool tho huh :)

10-27-04, 01:26 PM
I think that I can go around 2 1/2 to 3 feet, but I am a racer so that really doesn't matter.

i can bunny hop a whole inch! seriously. i put my weight forward than spring up and unweight the pedals. it seems like the back wheel comes up before the front. when i stand with my weight in the middle i can't jump at all
how do i get my front and back wheel up higher

thanks. i want to eventually be able to bunny hop high enough that i can try grinding.
is there something i need to change about how i bunny hop? i know i need to practice, practice, practice. i just don't want to keep practicing the wrong thing
jrt1990
11-10-04, 06:19 PM
