Thats a decent hop, if you can hop that high your techinque is good so yea, just PRACTISE and maybe get stronger

Its all in the forearms. You just have to keep doing it. You know how your arms start to ache when you are doing them. That is good, it is building up your strength. The more you do it (over time) the higher you can hop.

I used to do 48 inches consistantly. But, it took about 5 years to get to that point.





The cool thing is you will still be able to do it years down the road, if you learn it well as a kid.

^^ i dont think you were doing 48 inches thats above the record, four feet budd.

Look how your bike has changed lol. I can't hop high ever since I got my Fit Northwests.

Who cares about a record. Tons of riders have seen me bunnyhop that high. Ask any of them.

I was the flatland instructor at Woodward in 91. And I took my bunnyhop bars. Lots of guys saw it, besides, I posted pics above. Look how high they are, and I haven't even tucked yet in any of those.

Let me ask you a question... How do you go about getting a "record" for bunnyhopping? Especially back in 91...


I just rode... For fun...

start lifting and practice

[dutchidiot]

wow 48 is amazing, especially on a '91 (read: heavy) bike... props dude!

[captainblack666]

just do it more and start doing it over higher and higher shit

i do alot of training to stay in shape (i do muay tai) but usually as a warm up type thing before im sparring or something, ill have a couple table type things, one 3ft high the other 4ft, and ill keep my feet together shoulder length and hop up onto one, then to the ground then to the other one and back and forth, but it gets your legs to let you start jumping higher (basketball players use that shit alot)

but you could do something like that randomly from time to time when youre not riding to train your legs to get you higher, so when you bunny hop you can get higher

just a suggestion

practice and confidence AND DONT GIVE UP FOOL

[StandardRidr250s]
