ah one more thing, what you saw us doing during the sessions are years and years and years of practice, trial and error, semplangs, blood, sweat and tears (not to mention a lot of broken hubs, bearings and misaligned rims). so don't fret if you're not getting it in a month, two months, half a year. i started learning how to bunnyhop watching bmx'ers near our place when i was 14. my first real 2 wheels off the ground (not even clearing anything) was a year later, and i was on a bmx, which is a whole lot easier to learn with. sir help me sa pag buy ng new rimset ano po masuggest niyo na mura and matibay na pwede na panglaro?

I have my fears as well, especially when going full lean back on a bmx bike (manual) i can't even stay on the rear wheel like for 5 seconds because when i reach the balance point. But it really helps to start learning the bunnyhop on a bmx bike The low seat helps in giving you space for the weight shift. Maybe we should start scheduling the urban assault rides again hihihi when and where?😆

thank you sir anthrax76 really need to practice lifting the rear wheel. whenever i try bunking on gutters, i'm able to clear off the front wheel but always ended up on dragging the rear wheel up the gutter. hehehe! isipin mo lang may dumikit na tsiklet sa shoes mo than u have to scrape it sabay ng forward motion.😆

rims? hmm...better get a good wheelbuilder. then get the correct pressure for your tires. then learn not to slam the tires on landing.
my setup so far, which works for my abuse. Sunrace Juju hubs, Araya 36 holes rim, gauge 13 generic spokes. Got a good wheelbuilder and wheelset is only recently showing signs of being untrue.

ok, to break things down... try these progressions. this regardless of the bike, sus, geo, wheel size. the principle is the same 'for all of them' - drop your a$$ by flexing your lower body... hips, knees and ankles as if your pumping with your legs and rise up. you are not aiming for a lift yet. just get used to the feeling of compression and popping up. repeat over and over 'a lot' literally. what your aiming for is to feel the pressure between your hands on the bars and feet and pedals. only proceed to the next once you feel this as it's important. - to initiate a lift, do the above, but this time use the pressure between your hands and feet to pivot on the front axle. at the exact moment that you've unweighted your rr wheel, twist the bars a bit. important thing is to maintain pedal contact by feeling the pressure on your feet. the closest analogy i have here is picking up something like a cup, bowl or glass by grasping the inside (not outside). you have to put pressure in the inside front and back in order to lift. hope this makes sense. like i said earlier, there's a big difference between imitating a move and feeling how it is done in order to do it. simply looking at something does not let you see that there is actually both hand pressure and feet pressure that enables pivoting on the fr axle and lifts the rr wheel. is there timing involved? yes. twist the bars ahead of time and you wont lift. twist the bars late and you wont lift. pop slowly and you loose the compression (even hardtails compress). pop too quickly and you go off the pedals. tbh, the word compression is a it misleading and the tagalog equivalent is more descriptive which is 'bwelo' do the bars really have to be twisted? not really. you cab lift without twisting, but better get used to the sensation early on as you need wrist movement in bunny hop. also the lift becomes more pronounced and powerful so to speak with the twist. btw, don't grab the brakes. not because it's dangerous but it's not a rr wheel lift but a fr wheel rock. thanks for this big tips!

albatross99: mukhang kelangan mo dumayo dito sa thread na 'to... hehehe... pinoymtbiker.proboards.com/thread/42834/get-terms-spelling-rightrim = kung saan nakatusok ang nipples at spokes wheel = a completely built wheel consists: hub + spokes + nipples + rim + tape + tube (if using tubes) + tire wheelset = both front and rear wheels BTT, mas maganda mag praktis sa 'damuhan' kung may malapit na lugar sa inyo.

konablack, anthrax76,and all the people who help me on this thread. magandang balita after changing my rims and some Hub and headset bearing repairs, i tried practicing my front wheel and back wheel lift as what we do in our session. and this morning during our sunday ride goin to Grotto, bulacan. grabe i cleared all the gutters and even some stairs on the road with zero flat tires,and any mechanical problem, its good to know to manage my speed and timing it also helps when i absorb my drops properly, maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat guys.☺ key point here is to know your limitations and your current skill level and apply it to the obstacle, and sabi mo nga sir anthrax76 dehins mahalaga kung anong skill yung gagamitin basta mahalaga maclear mo ayus na yun.😊 ayun tuloy tuloy lang practice on improving my skills and ill take more milage on my bike and more hours lang at makukuha ko din yung gusto kong skill level.

i remembered, if you are slow and at a 'proper gear' you might want to wheelie up instead... ie use pedal punch/hip drive to pop the front wheel up followed by a rr wheel unweigh.
i tend to do this more often off the trail where there are road obstacles.

I just discovered that the suspension fork settings can affect your bunnyhop I get a good hop when my front suspension is on the (-) minus rebound setting (lesser rebound?).
