    **How To: Cheap Bunnyhop-O-Meter**
    *Parts (~$50)*

    **Uprights**

    * (8) 3/4” x 2’ PVC pipe
    * (2) 3/4” PVC coupling
    * (2) 3/4” PVC 3-way 90 degree socket
    * (6) 3/4” PVC cap slip
    * (2) 1” metal spring clamp

    **Crossbar**

    * (3) 1/2” x 2’ PVC pipe
    * (2) 1/2” PVC coupling
    * (2) 1/2” PVC cap slip

    **Optional**

    * Use electrical tape for bar visibility as well as color coding the pieces to be built easily.
    * Makeshift strap for now but the circumference of all the poles is ~13″ so I bought a 12″ Voile strap (not shown)

    **Tips**

    * If you and a friend are riding together, and both have bags, throw them on the legs for added stability.
    * Or if you have water handy (tap or large water bottle), fill the legs before you add the uprights and that will stabilize them. I filled each one with 16oz of water.
    * Also, tape blue on the bottom and green on top to easily identify which one is meant to go where speedily. Use whatever color your heart desires.
    * Make sure to measure once it’s put together to compensate for the fittings.

    **Cheaper Version**

    * Don’t worry about any of the caps (although they do level out the legs with the 3-way socket on the bottom)
    * You could get away with just (2) 1/2″ x 2′ PVC pipe for the bar. I personally like 3 as you can safely try 180s.
