bunnyhop

[aronsamma]

im not gonna start bmxin' or anything, but i thought it would be nice to know how to do it

[punkrock016]

Its easy once you get the hang of it...

A bunnyhop is not when both tires come off of the ground at the same time...your front tire should come off of the ground just before your back tire...similair to an ollie.

get comfortable on the bike...take the weight off of the front tire and shift your wieght over the back tire. when you feel the front tire come intothe air...jump with the bike into the air...lean a little bit foreward so that you land with both tires at the same time.

At first they wont be very high...it requires a pretty strong back, strong legs, and a good sense of balance to get them high.

if that doesnt make sense...go try it for yourself, i learned them w/out any help...its pretty much just common sense.

[aronsamma]

seems like itd be kinda hard to jump while sittin down. ill try it though

[punkrock016]

you're not sitting down...you're standing up...(duh)

LOL! :D

[mad man skate]

not to sound like a punk ass dick head to punk rock but on a bunny hop u do have both tires leave at the same time but what ur thinkin of is a J hop witch is what u say a bunny hop is but it dont reealy matter u can do more off a j hop ne ways
-peace

[punkrock016]

Ok?

It doesnt matter, 90% of people call you leaving the ground on a bike at your own power a bunnyhop, regardless of how you do it.

Anyways, its not like i would know anything, i mean, i've only been doing it for 6 years.

[BoArDeR420]

ya man punkrock is right hes been doin it for a long time and hes great! but have u ever seen a rabbit (bunny) hop???? i takes its front feet off the ground and then springs of the back legs..... like a bunnyhop on a bike!

[mad man skate]

u can call it a bunny hap if u want but in my 9 + years of BMX'n i have learned a bit i dont want an arguement but there is a difference and a j hop is when u jump with like a swoop in ur body and that is why u are wrong
look it up

[punkrock016]

"look it up" first of all, that i knowof, there is no BMX dictionay or anything, so where the hell would i look it up, and second of all, in 9+ years of BMX you would have to have something to show for it, so i wouldn't mind seeing some proof that you even ride, pictures or videos would be nice.

Call it whatever the hell you want, but if you go up to anyone that rides for real and you call it a J hop, you're gonna get looked at like a dumbass and considered a ***** until you prove yourself.

[Dirtbro trinity]

Dear mad man skater,
Do you own a ride bmx magazine, If so then you would know that that the prop[er name is a bonnyhop. The improper way to do it is both tires at the same time. You cannot get as high doing it that way so you do it front tire first.

[Dirtbro trinity]

you *****

[trinity123]

man yall leave mad man skater alone cause hes been ridin for a long time and hes the only person who knows what a real bunny hap is. pluse with his 9 + years of riding im sure he knows what he's talkin bout. ha ha yeah right your a faggot mad man skater and dont forget it

[trinity123]

hey mad man skate why dont you just shut up cause ive never heard anyone call it a jay hop and who really cares what it is. and the other guy is right what can you do on a bike at the age of six i mean why would you be a panzy you still sleep with a night light when your six

[glengly4130]

watch the language fellers...we got little kids on this site.
No more fighting.

[Dirtbro trinity]

so mad man since you kbnow so much what is it when you do a J-HOp and your front tire leaves the groung last. If you know so much about everything then teach us somthin or show us some pics. Since you r the almighty J hop masterthen go J hop a trash can or go J hop an kickflip down a double stair set. You probably don't even know what a kickflip on a bike is. Since you have been ridin so long then tell us what your best trick you can do is. Or how about this... If you know anything about bmx then who is the pro who got drunk, gets naked in public, puts a chickin suit on, punches Danny Way in the face, and gets kicked out of the MTV sports and music festival?

If you cannot answer this then youo should go back to the skateboarding part of this website and never come here again. you are not worthy to place your hands on the grips of your off brand peice of corperate garbage bike. Go pose somwhere else you loser.

[trinity123]

yeah thats what im talkin bout and we started my pyramid today yesa

[glengly4130]

NASTY, N-A-S-T- to the mutha fken Y

[Mrock]

Everyone Chill out. Lay off of mad man....and mad man, lay off of them. I'm not going to show any partiall'ness....and take sides...because it seems like everyone is going off on everyone else. Just drop the subject. No one will ever know who's a *****, and who is not a *****, until they ride with each other, so if you would like to find out, arrange a road trip to skate with each other. Otherwise- Don't argue about it here.

[trinity123]

what if you post pictures or well if you know it in your heart your not a ***** isnt that right mad man

[Mrock]

Dude, what the hell. I just said lay off. I don't care who is a *****, or who says who is a *****, who can prove what they can do, who can't. I'm not taking sides..and I'm not going to say 'I believe ______'....'I think ____ is a *****'...but don't start anything. I consider this my second 'pre-warning'...

[trinity123]

how many pre warnings do you get before you get a real warning all powerful moderator sir

[Mrock]

How many? That's your last. Don't push your luck. The most warnings I've given is 3....and there is no limit. Watch it...If you feel lucky, go ahead and push it. By keeping up this behavior, you're agreeing to accept the consequences.

[Dirtbro trinity]

Everyone had already stopped arguing. They were frestylin about a bike rider. You know Cory nastasio. Nasty
If you rode you would know that. evryone was just havin fun just rappin and then you accused them of makin fun of people more. They are just havin fun. but whatever.

[Dirtbro trinity]

And how you know someone is a ***** or not is when they are on their computer gettin mad at people for arguin instead of doin their sport they profess to be a part of. What does it matter if we argue or not. Are we supposed to post pics here and then just brag about how good we are. The only reall bike riders here are the ones who ride togethor anyway and we see each other so we don't need pics. And why are the mods here all skateboarders. Why am i not a mod.

[punkrock016]

dirt bro, i am a mod, and i ride and skate.

the main reason that all the moderators are skateboarders is, ramprage was originally a skateboard/snowboard only site, BMX was just recently added.

and matt, dont ever call Mrock a *****, I promise, its not a good idea if you want to return to the site and still be able to post.

you are not a mod b/c you havent been on the site long enough to prove yourself to ramprage, he decides who is/isn't a mod. i take it as an honor, and so should all the mods.
(im not saying that being on the site for a long time will automatically entitle you be a mod)

[glengly4130]

can i be a mod? i want to be a mod, come on ramprage, i ll take a bullet for you, comeone we tight i want to be a mod, when your a mpd do u get special powers, like the xmen do ??? when i am a mod i will say all the bad words alot like the N word, the F word, the D work, the S word, i ll say the other F work ('homosexual") ill bet yall all $.75 when i am a mod ill be the badest aSh mod around

[trinity123]

i bet you seventy five cents you would be too, and whats the difference between a prewarning and a warning i mean so if i get infenity warnings. o well i like bikes and i like betting seventy five cents on stuff

[Dirtbro trinity]

Bret I am just voicing my opinion. I'm not trying to argue. Bret are you scared that since you are my friend you would get in trouble because of me? If that happened I think it would be dumb.

[Dirtbro trinity]

I want to be a mod. I think that I am qualified to be one because I know alot about bmx and have a laptop with unlimited internet access at school. How do you become a mod? Can I take a test or turn in a trick list to show my skill. Who ever makes people mods talk to me and tell me what to do.

[punkrock016]

I'm not worried about getting into trouble because of you, im worried about you guys ruining the BMX section because of your attitudes and disrespect. you are not giving BMX a very good rap on this site.

A mod is not based on knowledge of the sport or skill, it is more of being able to make good judgement calls and not taking sides.

ASKING to become a mod is not how you become a mod. Ramprage himself has told me it gets on his nerves for people to ask.

[Mrock]

Yep. Ramprage doesn't appreciate asking to be a mod, or being smart with other members...

[trinity123]

so if you kiss ramprage's butt and know lots about him and the way he likes to run things can you be a moderater who is all powerful except to him because he runs this joint and then you can terminate the dirty words in a forum and then stop arguments at the touch of a button and then give someone the boot if you doesnt like their openion

[Mrock]

No no, you're all wrong. We don't kick anyone if we don't like their opinion. We keep order with people who are simply on the site for some temporary entertainment, and who want to start trouble. Cut the talk now. This is the last time I'm going to tell you that.

[trinity123]

OK

[Dirtbro trinity]

Which one do you think i am mrock

[Mrock]

English? Oh yes..nice signature. I'm sure ramprage will love it as much as I do.

Dirtbro, the first warning I gave had nothing to do with their rapping, which flew off topic. I was talking about everyone talking shit on the first page of this post. I'm done arguing, and I'd suggest everyone chills out. For your sake as a member, I hope ramprage hasn't seen this topic yet.

If you want to start shit, you can try. I'm done arguing just for the sake of arguing. It's stupid, childish, and a waste of time.

[Dirtbro trinity]

I was not arguing i was defending my friends. But what ever i don't care. I am chilled out. i don't want to argue anymore... I didn't feel like i was arguing but whatever. I was askin u which one you thought i was pertaining to temporary entertainment or to cause trouble

[Mrock]

For the record, I never was talking to you. That, and it's not a personal matter when I ask people, then tell them, to stop arguing. I'm not attempting to get personal at all, but if anyone wants to take it that way, then so be it.

[Dirtbro trinity]

ok good. I changed my signature just for you because I would not want to cause trouble.

[glengly4130]

DICKWEED that is so mean soundin ilike peckerherb, or how about pennisplant, dickweed sounds so degratten . no one was aruggin mrock it is people like u who think people are being serious and up tight , when in all actaullity it is people like u who are up tight and take everythong so serious, u wouldnt be so anrgry if u would get a cucumber with no such large nobs on it , and more smooth

[trinity123]

hey how come you get to cuss and we dont thats never fair

[trinity123]

o yeah i rode a dumpster today also

[punkrock016]

glengly, you're my friend and all, but that is not tolerated. i would suggest that you take extreme measures to apologize to mrock about what you said, that is, if you want to be part of this website. Ramprage doesnt take kindly to people joking on moderators that work their ass off like Mrock.

Mrock is doing his job and you guys need to lay off of him.
Y'all are making the BMX section of this site look like straight shit. Its nothing but crap posts and a bunch of nonsense. i hope that you guys straighten up b/c i like this section of the site and it would be nice if we could keep it.

[Dirtbro trinity]

I am not arguin or anything but you know why you like this part of the site... I think it is because of us.

[Dirtbro trinity]

or eithor to brag about the pics you put up. No offense to you. I think you moderators are worring about nothing. But whatever it doesn't matter.

[punkrock016]

I like this part of this site because it is BMX, a sport that i truly love.

[glengly4130]

i have nutthin to apoigize to him mrock about i did nutthin to ole mrock, em and that ole nigg tight like tha yakzua

[Mrock]

"Worrying about nothing" ? I heard people calling mad man skate a *****..and I saw PLENTY of censored words, aimed at him. I didn't take sides, and nicely asked everyone to stop arguing...I'm such a bad person, huh?

[mrocker]

hey dirt sack whats up man and i agree with glengly and i think it isnt fair that the space moderators get to cuss but we dont isnt that hypocritical

[Mrock]

Hey Genius. There's no where that says you can't cuss. You can't argue, and be an ignorant ass, such as yourself.

[mrocker]

i dont understand why you cant be ignorent because ignorence is bliss. when you were inducted into the hall of hinchmen did you come the realization that you were now a ramprage mastermind who could edit people's responses with the touch of a key. please shed some light on my idiocy. please o powerful space moderator.

[glengly4130]

wha ole mc mrock be talken about on the ole cussin issue is dat u can say words like ****,dick,shit, and other words along as u did the correct non igonrant way like this " man ****, i racked my nuts on this handrail, and i thought i ripped my dick off, i liked shit alover my self when i saw my dick hangen by a peicen of ****en flesh, it was ****en sick ass shit" see i wasnt agressive to enyone is that what u mean mrock?

[sk8erpsycho]

what the heck guys, they are just doing their jobs and they are obviously mods because they are people that can and WILL keep this site in line, if you odn't like the way the Mod, than you can just leave ramprage..... And Glengly i think that you SHOULD apologize to Mrock, he is one of the finest Mods on this site and he is just doing his job, so just leave him alone man...... And whats this if i kiss Ramprages ass will he let me be a Mod, who here thinks that the mods aren't doing a good enough job already! THEY ARE! and I think that if a new mod is needed than Ramprage should do it himself, being a mod is not a right, its a privlage so just shut up everyone!

[iamflameboy]

can i just say. why the hell are you all saying sh*t about Mrock cos if it wasnt for him and all the other mods and ramprage then this section wudnt be up and running, so the next time you all go running ure mouths off @ the mods just thiink that its them that help keep this section going

[mad man skate]

hey i dont get y ne one would diss mrock he is probrably one of the best peple on this site. i dont lok at him as a mod. i look at him as a regular skater and BMX'r because he posted on the same things as me and he had my respect before i knew he was a mod. he is one of the people on the site that knows what he is talking about and i belive him because he makes perfect sence and knows what he is talking about. and i totaly respect him for not choosing sides and not using his authority to kick people off. and to clear it up if you look back i never wanted to start a fight about the j hop and i understand that some people dont know the difference between the two and i was trying to share my knowlege

[Sk8er4life]

I wan't to know 2 things, how exactly to you do a hop, whatever u want to call bunny hop 4 example? and when did this turn into a fight session instead of a helpful bunny hop section? i just have to know.

[Shadow lurker]

r u sure u wer 6 or u just blowin smoke up our asses,i mean seriously 6 year olds dont have the strenght to bmx.it just doesnt happen

[wipeoutshurt]

ok guys i can bunnyhop and pro hop and it goes like this bunnyhops is when you get both of your tires off at the same time and a pro hop is when you get your front tire off first and then pick ur back tire up and what is a J HOP?

[roxy_skye]

bmx'in is to skateboardin as skiing is to snowboardin...

[notenoughleters]

can't you all just drop it and leave him alone. Personnally I dnt believe him either (J-hop-- wot the hell???) but y'kno sum people like to try and stand out. Here in England u won't find any people saying j-hop

[notenoughleters]

plus----------> do u hear of a british punk band from Birmingham called "The Fight" they hav a girl vocalist and r reli cool , i wos just wondering

[parksey]

holy crap guys. i came on here to find some help for bunnyhoping, and all i found is fighting. i mean does it really matter what the trick is called as long as you can do it. i agree w/ mad man skate i have heard it called a J- hop on some other sites. so who care what its called as long as we can do it

[emericask8ter]

Wow guys I really think he will still want to learn how to bunny hop 3 years later!

[almost a regula]

http://www.bmxbasics.org/new/bmx0703.html

[oggie]

dirtbro trinity has a point i dont know where u guys come from but in australia i have never herd of a j hop its a bunnyhop no matter how u get both wheels off the ground at the same time its still a bunny hop over and out.

chill out guys our love for riding should overcome fightin bout what a bunnyhop is fukin hell

[americanwit]

To do a bunny hop when you are first starting out, your first inclination is going to be to try to lift up the whole bike, both front and back tire at the same time, but this is not really the proper way to do a bunny hop. What you are going to want to do when you do a bunny hop is lift the front tire up first and then once you start leveling out, pick up the back tire. The reason you can do this is is you can get a lot higher using a lot more of your muscles, and this is a lot more efficient of a way to do it. And once you get it down, you may want to try moving it to smaller obstacles that you can jump onto, like a curb, and maybe once you get real high, you can start trying to jump over things and even onto stuff like picnic tables and over trashcans and stuff. But that is going to be more advanced, and you want to stick to the basics first.
