I can't either. I've been riding bikes since I was 3 and have actively tried to learn it for the last 3 years. Some people are just born with shit motor skills. The only tricks I can do with a bike is turn around on a dime and go fast in a straight line.

you are overthinking it- don't worry about front then scooping the rear yet. just have your pedals even then jump like you are jumping off the ground. if you are holding your bars you will bunny hop.

Practice jumping over a small round obstacle like a log. Just ride over it at first. Lifting the front then the rear with both tires touching it. That's pretty much the motion you are going for. Then move on to lifting the front so that both the front and rear wheel hit the ground at the same time to get the truck right. Then move on to completly clearing the log with the front and hopping just enough to bump the rear over the log this will teach you the hop. Finally work on clearing the log cleanly

Practice lifting up your back wheel, then try to combine both moves. Bunnyhop is also very hard on some bikes, on my bmx I can jump over obstacles around my waist height, but on my computer I cant really jump over the curb.

Would it be worthwhile buying a cheap bmx for the sole purpose of practicing bunnyhops?

Not really, you can bunny hop on almost anything. However, buying a cheap bmx to beat the fuck out of it and do stupid shit is definitely a solid investment

Do it in an Ollie type motion anon. Cranks flat, bend down, and jump upwards, front wheel leaves followed by the back wheel.

Its fun to ride and do tricks, so yeah go for it. But I suggest buying a used one, not the cheap Walmart one. If you really want to buy a new one, Sunday or Cult bikes are great completes for beginners.

That's mongo-hopping, you mental deficient. There is no value in this technique for either performance or learning bona fide bunny hops.

>>1160596
Not necessarily a BMX, but any bike with a low enough saddle that allows you to move your weight through a wide range of positions.

No need to buy a new bike for that. I can just lower the saddle. Or get a dropper post if i want to be lazy.

Trick to doing it is this: lift the front tire a decent amount off the group ~1ft-2ft, as u feel ur arms compress into you just jump off the ground and pull ur legs up like ur jumping over a box. It's a bit strange at first but if u learn it this way you will jump anything.

Yup I ride the same frame on my bmx bike. Find a ramped curb to try to jump on, and really commit.

Tfw when I never want to go through the trouble of removing heavy ass panniers and lowering my seat just to fuck around trying to learn to bunny hop, but I know I'm making it infinitely harder on myself as a result :(
