Wait, I get it, he is noob backwards, therefore he was doing a cab/fakie bunny hop up a curb. Therefore he is a not a noob.

Hope it wasn't the front. I am 43 and can still bunny hop at least 8 inches, (with a messed up rotator cuff). In my younger days, I could go to 18". Used to BH parking lot chains. You should at least be pulling up the front wheel up a curb. I would be surprised if your wheels weren't bent.

That's just plain wierd spelling it that way. You should move to the US so you can spell it properly.
