Bunny Hop
Hello 
I have a Raleigh Max Ogre (21) and i was wondering - would i be able to do a Bunny Hop on it? I mean, it is quite a heavy thing.. I was just wondering if i would be able to? And are there any adjustments i need to make to it before atempting a Bunny Hop?
I was going to try and post some photos of it up here, but i can't find the connection lead for my camera phone. It's a green colour and i'm pretty much sure it's a woman's bike, but considering it's weight - i could be wrong.
Any help would be great thanks!

This isn't my exact bike, but the bike in this auction is the same make of my bike, the only clear differences i can see between this one and my own, is the handlebars differ slightly

And are there any adjustments i need to make to it before atempting a Bunny Hop?As to how to start learning them- no idea. Still trying to do them on the Tandem but still trying.

Bunny hopping is fun, especially at a high rate of speed as you sail over some railroad tracks. If you have clipless pedals it is really easy to do. But, most of us learned to bunnyhop on heavy Huffys back in the olden days. Weight isn't too much of an issue if you have the technique down.
