Bunnyhop

[joen14]

Im new to bmx and been learning the bunnyhop. I can bunnyhop a good 4" but no higher. Any tips for getting higher bunnyhops?

get stronger :wink:

[HaRdCoReStrEEtZ]

practice makes perfect. Try bunny hopping aleast 50 times a day.

i would say to go riding and just bunnyhop onto every curb u see and bunnyhop as much as u can u will notice a difference in a couple days

[hartattack_199]

yeah kinda like what 415 said, it helps alot to bunny hop onto something not just over and over on a basketball court, onto curbs and what not.

after you get a little bit stronger you can use the manual bonny hop method. its basicly pulling up like your going to manual then spring up the rear end a second or 2 later. you can reach upwards of 2-4 feet when your strong enough.

[joen14]

Whats a good technique for the bunnyhop then?

[EasternBMX]

pop a wheelie like manual style and then bring your back tire up
I don't know how to do it i just do it. Keep practicing

[DeeZNutS]

i just told you ,...but two people has the exact same style. be creative.

tuck your nuts, push your bars foward, and make a war face. Werks for me everytime.

[cranksmasher]

^yeh man, i do it that way, never known any other way. I hate it when little kids on toys r us bmx's do bunny hops by pulling everything at the same time and get like 1 inch lol.

I just want to add that bhop is the most basic trick but has so much improvement options.. You are learning it and getting height all the time. Just go ride and get better and better. No simple recipe for this shit!

[MrYaNuDiT]

whats the different between bunnyhops and j hops? isnt both of them pulling ur front wheel 1st then lifling ur back wheel? can any1 tell me wads the difference?

[SnK]

Bunny-bop is both wheels at the same time.. J-Hop is front wheel first then you bring your back end up and tuck, Then you should land comfortably abit on the back tyre before front.. unlike a bunnyhop where you land on both tyres.

[TwIsTeR]

YouMe has it right.

J-Hop i find preferable for going onto rails and whatnot. Bunny ofc has plenty of uses as well.
