I think he was refering to bunnyhopping on a fixed, " MTB" style. Bunnyhopping on a fixed is actually hard at first but then so is trackstanding. The key is to use more upper body english. You don't have the luxury to set up so you have to sort of post up no matter where the pedals are. This is where your upper body comes in because you don't have the same leverage with your legs. I bunnyhop on my track bike because it's definitely an essential emergency move. not just for show. Practice on 2" curbs at first and then work your way up.
