BMX help!!!?

Question

My bike is a Haro track and trail 2.3 made in 2001. It's an old bike and I got it for 45 dollars. It's in ok condition but the problem is that I can't do a bunnyhop or a wheelie on it... I think that it's too heavy but It might be because I dont do the tricks right. So any advise?

love to help. to jump all you have to do is practice pulling up your handlebars pretty darn high. and also practicing lifting up your back wheel by adjusting the angle of your foot and the pedal to the ground to pull up the wheel. once you practice them, try to do them together, pull up your handle bars as high as you can with out falling off, and then while thats in the air, to lift your back wheel.  try jumping over twigs to start then small curbs. when i learned it helped a lot to jump over something rather than just jumping randomly, but that is also good practice.

to wheelie try leaning your butt backwards and pulling up on your handlebars at the same time. while your doing that, pedal. start off with one pedal or no pedaling and work your way up.  

if you need any other help ask me.
