How big of a bunny hop can most of you do and what can i do to make it bigger. Mine is only like 1ft

thermo

Good job. I can only do about 6-8 inches at the most on my Hoffman.

I can tell just by the way it feels when I do it I am doing something horribly wrong (I almost always land on my front tire first which is far from good).

as high as i need? (probably no higher than barend)

If you land front wheel first, that means you are leveling out way too much. You don't always have to land both wheels at the same time (although it does look nice and is smoother), it is much better to land with your back wheel first.
I just tried some hops today after a long, long offseason (10+ months (and still not supposed to be back yet)), and was able to hop about 2 to 2.5 feet.

O...M...W...!!!

24-30 inches? With a ten month break? You are using HAX!!! LOL YOU HAXOR!!!

I don't know what it is but I started bunny hopping about two years back (not all on the same bike though), and I can only do about 8 inches at the most (I've never measured though so I can' be sure, and it's hard to tell how high it is when you are on the bike and not on the ground). There has GOT to be something I'm doing totally wrong, or else since the bike is heavy and I am thin we don't do so well together, hehe.

I'll try getting a few clips of me bunny hopping my hardest, and then you can watch and see what I'm doing wrong. I am in dire need of help.

Last year I would hop to manual on pic-nic tables, this year I haven't even really tried hopping to much.

thermo

I am really so going to get a vid up of me bunny hopping so everybody here can help me out and see what I'm doing wrong. Everybody can bunny hop at least six feet here it seems, except for me.

I could hop about the height of a picnic bench if I had to. I try not to do big hops. I'm trying to dial hop manuals at the mo

FitRider 921

Nobody mention those cursed words in the same sentence again.

wethepeople

I love being good at hop manuals, I don't even have to put my foot down like Gunz.

FitRider 921

I don't like you very much.

thermo

Haha that wasn't supposed to be bleeped out, just a pause between each letter. Otherwise I would have done O***M***W***.

Anyway, I am really going to start working on my bunny hops.

FitRider 921

I wasn't talking about those words. It's a long story (well, not really).

eightdip

Hop manuals!!!!

FitRider 921

Damn you!!!!!

wethepeople

I've been trying to learn foot plants on my ramp, Gunz, care to show me how?

eightdip

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that's so tight but so funny

MadMan2k

Haha. I'm not very good at hops yet, I can hop about 2ft when I'm going slow but I'm scared to do it going really fast.

FitRider 921

I hate you. Really. I do.

FuzzyRyder

I dout you can hop 2.5 feet right now. I dout you have ever been able to hop 2.5 feet. Maybe after another season.

FormulaD

Umm.. *cough* 3-4 inches *cough* (with both tires in the air)

KinetikBiker

I've never done it, but my friend claims i could clear a tenis court net. I'm way to scared though.

cwt341

Couple inches. Kinetik you should try doing that, It'd be sick

FitRider 921

That's nice of you. It's not like I measured. I doubt it's 2.5 feet, that's why I said the word "between." I'm guessing it's somewhere around two feet.

FuzzyRyder

Even two feet is a huge hop for someone who has been riding for the amount of time you have been, and after a fairly serious injury. I'd say a foot, to a foot and a half seems more believeable. I'll need pics to belive anything better then that.
