I have a couple of questions, stuff I'm not sure about.
Quickly, so I get relevant advise, about my skill level, I've had a long period away from cycling, Early twenty's and booze, girls and cars became more important.
My old retired, 20 YO MTB went to that place in the sky where all good MTB's go when they have done their life’s work, and my new, shiny MTB has forks that WORK! how cool is that!
Issue is, when I come up to a curb for example, I lift my front wheel, then My back wheel, I know I have the skill to bunny hop both at reasonable speed but not the confidence, when I lift the front wheel the front forks top out and I get the annoying "bump".
Do I just have to get used to this or am I doing something wrong?

And bunny-hopping out of a rut, Something I have never been good at, Practised today on an easy trail while riding with my 7Yo son, but I feel awkward. Any tips?
