How to do a bunny hop on a bike?

How do you "pull" your bike with your leg's in a bunny-hop?

  • Thats wat most ppl tell me. To "pull" ur bike up w/ ur legs in a bunny-hop. how do u do that?

  • Answer:

    i have clipless pedals so pulling the bike up is easy becuase im physically attached to the bike. with regular pedals, you rely more on your arms than legs. you do however need slightly bend your feet down, toes pointing slightly toward the ground. these steps happen all at once: push pressure on the pedal, pulling your feet back and "puling" the bike up a little, at the same time pull the front up with your arms. twist the handlebars forward, wich will in turn pick up the back of the bike more. practice will help you jump higher.

You don't do it with your legs so much as with your arms. When you're about to do it, slightly jump in place, and pull hard on the handlebars.

To do a bunnyhop you pull up on the bars and UNWEIGHT your legs this allows the back end of the bike to come up, not "pulling" with them. In unweighting its basically taking the pressure off your legs and starting to bend them and the back end of the bike will follow them on up. Its all about practice. If you want you can build a stand. Take 2 pieces of plywood about 12x12 screw a 2x4 to the plywood and put nails in the 2x4s every inch and then get a doll rod to put on them. Then that gives you a goal to shoot for. Keep moving it up as you progress. This way you wont wreck your bike either by picking a large bank or somthing to try. Hope this helps.

You jump with you legs and simultaneously lift with your arms and, with your toes pointed down so that the pedals can grip, gently lift with your feet. Good luck.
