Bunnyhopping on a mountain bike as opposed to a bmx bike?

Question

i have been bunny hopping on a MTB (mountain bike) for a few days and i can get a decent bunnyhop (between 4-8 inches)

so anyway i was riding my little brothers 20" $50 wal-mart brand bike and I couldn't bunnyhop it.

Is it becuse it didn't have shocks like most $200 BMX bikes do

or do expensiv bmx bikes not have shocks?

I just wanted to know because I planned on buying a bmx bike and i didnt want to spend $250 on something that I can't do anything with.

thanks in advance

Answer 2
