    What’s wrong with my bunny hops?


    Obviously I’m a newbie, so pls don’t laugh at how horrible this is LMAO (video is slowed down 50%)
    I just feel like I’m doing something wrong, but can’t figure out what. Everyone else’s hops seem more fluid, and almost longer? Even if they’re not super high, people seem to be in the air longer than me? I feel like I don’t even have enough time to put everything together, the hop, the knees bent, pushing the bars away from my body…Idk I just need tips, I’m struggling lol I feel like my brain is having a hard time understanding movement on bikes.

      You have to sort of lean back first and get your front tire off the ground first. You want to get your front tire off the ground as high as you can and only the front tire, then you’re going to jump with your feet and pull the bike up with your arms, pushing your arms up and forward like superman.

      Let the front wheel come up a bit more, then do the rest of the manoeuvre.
      And just get comfortable doing the move, repetition is key.

      when you pull up. pretend like you’re trying to twist the grips off. and tuck your legs up into your body.

      It sounds weird but as soon as you pull up grab the grips with your palms and fingers and kind of twist upwards like you want to twist the grip off the handle bar, as you do this motion hop up with your rear legs and tuck the bike up into you.

      I always say, think of it as a 4 step hop. Its not one single jump up.

      Pull your bars up and lean back.

      Jump of your rear tire and tuck your legs up.

      Level out with pushing your bars forward.

      Land

      I learned by pushing my legs into the rear tire while I pull the front wheel up and then tucking kinda like pumping into the ground if that makes sense I think its called Lemar position or some shit idk it worked for me.
