pogo Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) How do i go from a bunny hop straight to my back wheel after getting up ledges and things? I can get about 30 inches so far just hopping but cant land it on the rear wheel.Any pointers? Edited February 17, 2008 by pogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Start smaller,this may sound stupid but start on a curb,lean way back and pull the rear brake as you would for a tap!as you get bigger, try tapping the front wheel on the object to boost you further!Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I find to start, try bunny hopping but pulling so far back that if the ledge wasnt there you would go over your ass. Its kinda similar to doing pedal gaps. When i am fully extended on my pedal gaps if there was not ledge for me to hit my rear would slip and i would be on my ass. After you ge that down try something a little higher and really jump with your legs straight up then pull the bike up into you. The part lots of people dont get the is the jump. All the people saying that to bunnyhop you pull pack then roll forward are WRONG. You pull back then jump up with your legs HARD. I can bunnyhop almost 36 inches on my street bike by just ripping it super hard with my legs. Keep at it and youll get better though its a tough skill to learn and you ARE going to end up on your ass sometime. Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
