The terms "bunny hop" (literally "bunny jump") or "bronco" ("mustang") mean a jump with two wheels at the same time. It looks great from the outside and is very simple to perform. Bunny hop is actually a combination of two movements that you need to master separately, and then combine, so that you can easily overcome any obstacles with its help.

Steps

1. 1 When driving at a very slow speed, lean back. Straighten your arms and legs. Pull the bike up with your hands. Shift your center of gravity back.
   • Use your hands to pull it further (as much as possible) until the bike rises, and with it you. Then rotate the pedal to raise it even higher. For this purpose, the pedals must remain upright during the entire maneuver.
   • Lower gently. This movement is called "front-pool". Exercise until you learn to lower yourself slowly and not just flop your front wheel on the ground.
   1. Learn to bounce with the rear wheel (back hop).
   • Shift your weight forward. Do it quickly, but in a way that does not fly over the steering wheel.
   • Turn the pedals so that your feet are almost vertical.
   • Press on the pedals with your feet as you raise your legs. The pressure you apply will keep you on the bike while you lift the back of the bike with your leg muscles.
   • Lower yourself slowly.
2. 2 Combine the front wheel pull (front pool) and the rear bounce (back hop).
   • Throw your weight towards the ground through the rear wheel as you pull the front wheel towards you. This will add bounce to the rear wheel when you bounce back hop.
   • When the front wheel is off the ground, pedal to the upright position as described in Back Hop. While the front wheel is still in the air, push the rear wheel upward.
   • Raise your bike into the air. You need to get all this into a habit before you bunny hop over obstacles. To make this all look clearer, try squeezing your legs together.
   • Land with the rear wheel first. This will give you more stability and control.
3. 3Bunny-hop jump over various obstacles, each time increasing the height, until it becomes familiar to you. Many people can bunny hop over obstacles more than a meter high!
4. 4 # Jump with two wheels at once: Everything is the same as when jumping with your feet, only you jump while standing not on the ground, but on the pedals. If you keep your feet on the pedals and jump, the rear of the bike will lift into the air behind you. All that remains is to pull towards yourself in front of the front pool (without the help of pedals), as already described in this article. Another method of performing this technique requires more strength, looks less professional, can cause injury and will not give you the opportunity to jump high enough.
5. 5 An easier way to do small bunny hops is to mount the bike mounts. This will keep your feet gripped with the pedals. All it takes to get the bike up in the air is just jumping up and down as you normally would. Be careful using this method, because you can only release from the mounts with a special movement at a certain angle. Many tried to surprise friends and acquaintances, and then stopped and forgot to unfasten their shoes from the pedals and subsequently fell.

Tips

• If you want to learn how to jump really high, you have to work on your technique and watch how high you can lift the rear wheel. Train - it’s the same principle as in weightlifting, and it’s great for shaking your arms.
• Jumping on a flat surface to a great height for no apparent reason is not easy. It will be easier for you if you jump over something.
• Start training on small, light bikes. The difference in weight and mobility is critical in order to jump start.
• Start jumping over cardboard boxes or small pieces of wood that will easily fall off when hit.
• Try the manual, then lift the rear wheel as if you were doing the nose manual, push the pedals at an angle, then yank up, then yank both wheels out at the same time!
• If you have a bmx, raise the front wheel as if you were doing a wheelie. Then shift your weight forward until you reach the highest point (do this quickly, but so as not to fly over the handlebars).
• To bunny hop back (first lift the rear wheel off the ground), do a stop (after accelerating, hit the front brakes so as to lift the rear wheel off the ground), transfer the weight to the front wheel, then, firmly holding onto the steering wheel, sharply throw the weight back (the rear wheel is still in the air at this point).
• If you have a mountain bike, you can use the force of the front shock absorbers: load the front wheel and use the resulting push to lift and lift the bike.

Warnings

• If you decide to learn how to jump over obstacles, start with a small size.
• Always use a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads.
• Do not do this without training, or if you are a beginner cyclist.
