I guess that works too. People have a ton of different ways to say it. I just say hop.

Everyone here is doing J hops though. You can't get very high on a bunny hop.

To me there's no difference between a bunny hop and a j-hop. They're the same thing. A bunny hop is front then rear. It's been like that forever. Then at some point someone decided to call it a j-hop. J-hop just sounds stupid to my ears. They're the same thing. Both wheels at the same time is just bad technique. Front then rear is a proper bunny hop.

Picture a bunny hopping - front legs up first, then the back one follow, then it lands on a mine.

Now picture a J.

yep - I see a letter too.

Why did anyone even call it a J hop.

i used to be able to hop up a 5 set pretty easily. but that was like a super stretch, tire in ass kinda thing. i could also get onto a picnic table. don't know exactly how high that is though.

has any body ever noticed they can only hop high when their trying to get up something? i can only get like a foot on flat ground but if i need to get over something i can find extra pop somehow. and is it easier for you guys to hop high going slow or fast? i find i get more pop the faster i go but it gets a lot scarier.

yeah on flat i used to only get about 2 stairs high but then i hopped up a 3 stair cleanly. i guess its just adrenaline or something and you knowing you have to get up that so you get superhuman hops or something

I think you can hop the same height, it's just hard to measure a flat hop on nothing.

I'd say its a lot of psychological. When I'm hopping on to or over something, I can tuck my back wheel up pretty high. If I'm just flat hopping I can't tuck as high.
