Bunny Hop
Question
Hello I am an experience mountain biker but when trying to teach my father and my friends how to do a bunny hop they cannot seem to do it so I am wondering if you could give me some instructions so that I can help them out.
Answer
Randall,
here are 2 interesting threads I found on the web...might help you out...
The only absolutely sure way to do aperfect bunny hop is to get clipless pedals. If
that is out of you budget get tow clips. Once you are in your tow clip find your
center of gracity, compress the frame and tires and or shock and then pull up. Not
working? Work on your wheely. Still not working? Get clipless.

The trick in doing a bunny hop is all in the wrists, literally.
Go slow at first. Then lift up the front wheel of your bike.
Some say it's best to have yout weight in the middle but I
shift mine a bit forward. Then comes the key part, twist your
wrists forward. If you have bar ends it easier to do. That's
it. Just imagine yourself making an arc over the object.
