niconj Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I went out today to practice bunny hopping as I've been kinda stuck at one height for some weeks (the last months I have been improving a lot though). As I think that I have enough strength to jump higher, I came to the conclusion that it's a technique kinda thing. Could you have a look at the video and tell me what I should focus on? The wall is about 80-90cm high and is the highest I can to to rear right now. I'm aware of the fact that I should just do them to improve but some hints may fasten this improvement. The bunny hop starts at 0:35. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the technique probably isn't the best so I would like to have some hints on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 You've got the basics, you just need to fine tune it... doing it over and over and over and over and over times years of riding is how you get it to be ideal. You've opened up a conversation with a bicycle once you started riding trials. Like any relationship it takes years to learn the ins and outs... the people who are really good, who you look up to, have been doing it for a long long time... when they were kids they began. Their muscles have adapted to the demands they put on hem and they grow to do specific things. Your technique is way better than most "bunnyhops" done in the mountain bike community- clipped in, both wheels up... at least you have the front up then pull the back. just keep riding looooots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
