What is the secret to bunny hopping?

[TigerMom]

Thanks Irulan for the great videos!

In Alison Dunlap's video, I laughed so hard that I nearly peed in my pants about the bikers that try to lift as hard as they can and then crash into the curb. That statement describes my bunny hops perfectly...including the crashing into curbs and then falling.

Both those videos helped a lot although they seem to have two different bunny hop methods. The first video seemed to pull with your rear end almost off the bike and stomping backwards. The second video has you stomping forwards and leaning back at the same time.

I'll try both those methods today.

Thank you, thank you Team Estrogen for the advice. I didn't know that legs were involved in the bunny hop at all.
