Today I cleared a 3 foot (aproximately could be more actually) gap and I wasn't going with much speed, if you bunnyhop tall enough and throw your body forward it turns out its pretty easy! Damn, I just love this sport and I also pulled a manual and my bunnyhop's height is improving, you just gotta love how much difference a little practice can make. Well, thats it, just wanted to tell you about my accomplishments so nevermind me laugh out loud.
P.S: On one jump my feet slipped off the pedals and I wiped out bad, thankfully nothing happened to the bike or (more importantly) me, I got back up on the bike and kept riding, though my arm hurts now, its part of the sport I guess.

Yeah, I've gone through this type of thing too. It's fun to learn stuff like that. Like you said, it's all a matter of speed. I did a bunny hop of 9 feet in distanace in the summer, must have been going 35 km/h though.

Congrats on the progress. Riding really is a lot of fun.
I can hop about 1.5ft high if I'm going slowly, but I have trouble getting that high if I go fast enough to clear a gap. Just need practice I think

bunny hops are fun. but the pedal to the shin really kills.
it is suprising the impressive things you can do with a good bunny hup or j-hop.

I sunk the pins on my pedals into them so hard once I puked.
Or...maybe it was 'cause I crotched onto the toptube after I lost footing.
Ah...the joys of mtb'ing.

This article is an excellent read. Based on BMX, but it's not terribly different.
