>>1060411This is the bike I honed my bunnyhop skills on, I could hop over handlebar height (~3ft) as a skinny teen. Back in the late 90s there was a BMX fad where heavy parts must mean stronger parts, so bikes were approaching 50lbs with frames like mine (2hip Pork), the Gack Cannibal, Solid forks with a literally solid steertube and their cranks with a solid spindle, and the ultimate wheelset, Alex triple wall, 12ga spokes, Primo Son of a Bomb hubs. Then in the early 00s there was a light bike fad where people were building 16-17lb bikes and snapping headtubes off Eastern ti Reapers every few weeks. Now BMX bike weight has leveled off at 25lbs or so and nobody really cares about weight anymore. Bunny hop height hasn't changed whatsoever through all these years, because bike weight has 0 to do with how high you can hop it, the main things that matter are chainstay length, BB drop, and reach, that's why you can hop higher more easily on a BMX, with the tiny chainstays and no bottom bracket drop it's easier to use the bike as a big lever by pushing down on the pedals and pulling up on the bars, then when your body is in motion upwards you let the bike rise up underneath you.
