bigquotesi think you gotta twist your wrists

What do you mean by that?

He means twist your wrists forward on the grips. It helps to get the back end up.

When I was learning to bunny hop, I found it easier to get both wheels off at the same time just by pushing down on the pedals and then just jumping up, and pulling up on the bars as you go. After I got familiar with this, I found it easier to get the front up first and then follow with the back.

ya dylaine420 is right thats how i learned how to bunny hop and now i can do it no problem...o ya and after a litle bit you dont even have to leen foward and another way to practice is by lifting your seat and put one hand on the bar and the other on the seat post then pull up, that also gives you the feeling of bunny hoppingBig Grin

actual bunnyhops are quite hard to learn, but you can cheat your way to them which may improve your technique later.

get on a full suspension bike, make the rebound quicker and bounce the bike up and down. not just with your arms but with your hips and knees aswell.

if you want to learn real bunnyhops you only really need to learn picking the back end up - this is hard to teach but basically you need to 'scoop' up the back end with your feet by trying to grip them to the pedals.

Yeah some people asked be before to teach them how to bunny hop and I can't help much cause I just learned on my own and I don't really know how I do it...I just do. The front end is easy but for thed back try to bend your knees and grip the pedals with you feet and just give like a jurk upwards. Sort of like your trying to jump...but stay on the bike.
