well when you do learn to bunny hop good because it just takes practice you need to teach him how to do a real bunny hop

rice400

yep. he thinks he's all big and bad. i could have a freakin $500 dollar bike and he would still think his bike is better (he has a 2003 backtrail x2)

i'm not saying its bad. i mean for gods sake i have a 2005 backtrail X1 but i get tired of him thinking everything i get is junk compared to what he has. thats my 2 cents worth

when i am able to do at least a one foot bunnyhop i am going to challenge him to a contest. than i could say ha ha i can't bunnyhop higher than u. that would probably knock him down a peg.

haro_rider09

or it would make you look like a dumb @$$

rice400

ya. so do u have any tips on jumping steps

da_empire04

stairs: yeah, u do have to bunny hop unless ur going extremely fast, but i dont recommend that coz its gives you (or at least me) less confidence. u dont have 2 hop high at all, unless its a really long stair set.

rice400

noooo. i was gonna go riding today but now i can't. its snowing. tomorrow its supposed to be sunny with a high of 40. thats good weather for me. since i live in iowa and its almost december a high of 40 is like living on the beach

i wanted to practice bunnyhops, manuals, and jump of steps. i guess i'll have to wait

rice400

ok i want to jump just about 3 steps. very small since i'm just learning. would i need to bunnyhop at all. would it be alright if i just went a little faster than normal. i mean jeez. its like a 1 1/2 foot jump.

arboc!

when your doing stairs just get some speed (not to fast) and just pull up on the front like you would off a curb, but with more speed.

yea, i did gaps before I could bunny hop, just rode real fast and lifted up. keep trying man.

rice400

thanks guys. that's all i needed to know. tomorrow i can't wait to go out and try some stair gaps.

also i can do a bunnyhop a little better. its not the good one for jumping and grinding.

the one i can do is both wheels at the same time. i can get it about 4-5"

haro_rider09

damn 3 steps? you might not even have to hop at all lol

rice400

well i want to start small so i can learn what to do. when i get good at that i will try 4,5,6 steps

bmxrdr88

downside whipping this one gap at the local bike track. its insane.

bmxrdr88

ive hit aa 11 stair with out bunny hopping. i just rode off of it and i made it.

bmichaelx

I hate stairs and ledges because i either bottom out on my back tire or I hurt my wrists.

bmxrdr88

yeah i hate them too. but its somthing to do.

To get your wheel off the ground without pedaling, you should throw your but back behind the seat, and pull the handlebars with your arms as your doing it. It's really the easiest way.

bmxrdr88

the easiest way i think to bunnyhopping higher is start going over curbs and stuff. if its there dont go around it, go over it.

jRC1088

I'm Practicing Table tops and 180's, Table tops are pretty easy u should try them.

bmxrdr88

tables are too easy. i can touch my shoulders with my forks. both ways.

haro_rider09

(sarcasm)

jRC1088
