bunny hop

[Scott2luvit]

this is probably the stupid'ist question on the hub, but ever since I got my new bike, I get a natural tail whip when bunny hopping, I know its got something to do with my weight distrubution and the way I pump the bike, the side of the whip changes if I change my attack position ie putting the other foot in front, I am also a goofy, natural Right hander but surf and skateboard I stand with my left foot at the back. 

 

how do I correct this? Everytime I do a hop I see myself going down and breaking my arm again

Does not compute... you might be goofy by nature but you are natural if you have your right foot at the back. Maybe you arent getting enough forward momentum or thrust with your arms going to straighten out your bunny hop?

ahahahahh lol sorry left back,daft moment there... I am getting nice air though, tail gets to between 4 and 5 o'clock when I land her,

sounds a bit like a brag...

Might be too much or uneven tension/pulling in the shoulders. With regards to the height, I'm sure that counts as bragging

[Rocket-Boy]

Pfft dont listen to the haters

I surfed and skated most of my life which translated nicely into bunny hopping really high.

I also have a natural tendency to get the tail out on bigger jumps but there is normally enough time to get it back in before landing.

How do you do the hop? 

 

Real thing or "the pronk"?

[NukeproofPeanut]

I do it all the time, can't keep the back straight, it's natural to throw a bit of style into your riding 

 

Also helps clear things

So you whipping and you complaining!!

Flats or clip(less)

Every time I hear the word bunny hop I want to cry and if I see someone doing it I want to punch them, because for the love of all things good and great I can not do it. I have watched videos and they make it look so easy, and that pisses me off even more. can someone please give me some advice on how to do it, talking about the real makoi not bok or pronk.

Went to flats this past weekend to try them out, I have the same issue when I bunny hop. my tail tends to shift to the right, I think it might be related with the force you use to push down on the pedals.
