javadude Posted July 24, 2013 Share My vote is based on what i could do on a bmx in the 80's. Nowadays at my weight i'd probably fold my rims in half. Ramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted July 24, 2013 Share I think the next Enduro should have a bunnyhop contest like we used to have at the nationals in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grebel Posted July 24, 2013 Share I think the next Enduro should have a bunnyhop contest like we used to have at the nationals in the 90s. There's a 12 hour one coming up soon. We can start then..... G00SE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Bru Posted July 24, 2013 Share If anyone can clear 1m on a MTB please post a tutorial for us "not real mountain bikers". If step 1 is "Remove your seat", or "Reconfigure anatomy", I don't think it counts.... Also... piktchas or it never happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one of these, but Trial fitted handlebars and size 13". 1m is really not that exceptional...

Lopes, McCormack, Macaskill, etc etc. But then they're not normal on the human scale of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted July 24, 2013 Share Akrigg, on a hardtail 29er riding uphill, with flat pedals and 510's: i've watched a few segments of that clip of his a million times. The guy's a bona fide freak of nature. Mad talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted July 24, 2013 Share The secret to a successful hop is setting a target. I did a lot of trials and street riding in my teens and hopping up a 1m wall was dead easy. I was able to clear traffic cones and plastic garden chairs quite easily. All this on a fairly big bike. It's all about practice. Ill do some tests this weekend and see what I can still do. There is a spot in Emmarentia that is perfect for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00SE Posted July 24, 2013 Share I can manage about 30cm on the squishy, but put me on my sons trick BMX and I can bunny hop the cr@p out of that thing - at least 50cm, maybe more. On flats of course DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 24, 2013 Share Can a "bunnyhop" on clipless be called a bunnyhop or should it be called a "jerk-up"? sadly that's what the majority of MTBers think a bunny hop is. Pull up with arms and legs as hard as possible at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
