That’s pretty good. Once you’re at the high point of the pull think of using wrists to rotate the grips (and effectively the whole bike) to further raise the rear end. Once you have technique down start trying it over objects. I find I can only do it so high in a parking lot but it’s surprising what I can get over in real life, and sometimes with a little rear wheel touch-pause for that trials cred.

Decent effort, you know the theory!
I think what would help you at this point would be to wait a bit longer before you begin to roll your bar forward. You’re basically stopping your upward momentum and pushing the bike back into the ground. You don’t want it to continue to move upwards, but you should allow it to level out slowly before you push back down. That should net you a much higher, more sustained hop.

Seems good to me. Now just practice getting over/across something. A patch of dirt, a puddle, whatever.

Your close, but as a suggestion…and maybe I’m wrong… And others can correct me that’s fine. But I don’t ever feel like I’m leaning back and pulling up like you are in this video. It looks like you are trying to convert a wheelie into a bunny hop. I come from a bmx background. So maybe there why? But to me it’s more of a crouch down low and hop up, pulling the handlebars up with you which lifts the front end up. And then at your peak push them forward (not down) to straighten out the bike as you also pull your knees up towards you to let the back end continue up on its trajectory. I used to skateboard before bmx and having learned the Ollie made the bunny hop seem natural.. It’s the same motion in theory.

Start going to the gym and doing power cleans

That’s a J-hop
I’d work on evening out the landing… keep that front up until the rear reaches the same height. Looks like a pretty great starting point tho.

Right when the rear tire starts to lift off the ground, pull the bike closer to your body.
You got this.

Nice work on the bigger pixelation btw

Push the handlebars forward to lift the tail, but don’t lean your upper body forward along with it. If you land a little sloppy you’ll go face first into the dirt. You should still be a little bit back seat when you land, and your front tire should land around the same time as your rear, not way earlier.
