Basic bunnyhop techniques, tutorial 1.5

This video outlines some of the basic concepts you need to have to bunnyhop. I had to put it together relatively quickly due to time restraints so it is still missing a little, but really in the end if you just practice your rear off you'll get it. NOTE: I recorded this a long time ago, it isn't new, sorry. (and tmebutuoy I know I still owe you one) :)

hey I got 1 question.. I have 2 bikes : one with full-suspension but very heavy more than 15 kgs, and another about 11,12 kgs that has no suspension at all. I'm a beginner and Im not sure on which one I should start learning.. any tips?

thanks :D

[unrealtrip]

@bux3premium Well generally do what you can with what you have, I'd stay away from the full suspension for now you'll learn bad habits like preloading which are fine later, but will hinder the learning process. good luck man, you'll get it down :) Just stick with it and remember that the bike will follow your body, throw your body around, bike goes too

@unrealtrip thanks for the tutorial man, really helped me :D im just having one problem, i can get the front wheel off the ground and the back wheel of the ground easy, but im finding it hard to put them together :L got any extra tips?

[unrealtrip]

@Kratsyy The trick really is throwing your body weight from back to front. Like if you can already lift the front and back independently you're seriously like right there. Maybe when you lift the front tire, then throw your weight forward to lift the back, throw it harder. It is kind of like a mule kick, you can get like a swinging rhythm going to do the launch. Check out forums dot mtbr dot com and go to the beginner section. I have a sticky thread that talks about methods in detail

[SuperKONR]

@Kratsyy No problem

[Kratsyy]

@SuperKONR Thanks HEAPS man!

[SuperKONR]

@Kratsyy I'll try to get it up today or tomorrow. Just keep practicing, it took me awhile to get it, but once I got it it was really easy.

[Kratsyy]

@SuperKONR thanks man that would really help! ive been practising for about an hour a day putting a stick on the ground, and lifting my front wheel over, and then my back wheel over, and then trying to do it faster. But a video would really help!

[SuperKONR]

@unrealtrip Great tutorial!! I subbed!

[SuperKONR]

@Kratsyy Try leaning up almost over your bars while popping your front wheel up, then simply lifting up your feet. I found it was easier for me than trying to shift the weight after I was already in the air. If you havent gotten it down yet I can make a vid for you.

@unrealtrip thanks alot man :D
