Question

also i am struggling to perform a mono and bunnyhops can some one direct me to some intructions

Answer 1

With The Height Issue It Likely To Be The Jump/Lips Fault If Its Not Vertical Enough You Wont Be Able To Get Great Height At All. And It Does Help If You Can Hop To Get Height And I Suggest With The Hop Issue Try To Get Front Wheel Up Off The Ground And Then Try To Get Both Off Ground And Its Takes Time And Lot Of Practice So Just Keep It Up.

Try bunnyhopping at the top of the jump for extra hight. Bunny hopping is an important skill in most areas of biking. The best way to learn how to bunnyhop is get someone to show you, but most people might not be able to get hold of someone to do this so your second best option is youtube, there are many good videos on there about how to bunnyhop. Il list some good ones in my sorse list. there are three main parts to a bunnyhop. Up, level, land. Up is what it says pull the front end up like a manual, you should have your feet level. Ok now one wheels off the floor time for part 2, using your feet, angle them down at about 45 degrees and push back on them so they grip the pedels, then tuck your legs up into your body to bring the bike up. It sounds wierd to have to push down the pedels and pull them up at the same time but it makes sense when your on a bike. Getting the back wheel up is the hardest and most important bit of the bunnyhop. Also you can use your wrists to help get the back up, if you roll your wrists forward it will help get the back wheel a little bit higher. The last stage is landing, this is simple, you land on the floor. when bringing the back wheel up try to level out so both your wheels land at the same time as this will be smoother but it doesnt matter that much to a begginger.

Hope this helps, keep riding.
