Technique
The bunny hop is executed by approaching an obstacle with a medium rolling speed, arms and legs slightly bent. Upon reaching the obstacle, the rider needs to shift their center of gravity towards the rear wheel of the bike and pull back on the handlebars, causing the front wheel to lift in a wheelie. Simultaneously, as the rider pedals, they explosively push down on the bike pedals, and continue the push in a circular motion allowing them to 'pull' the rear wheel up by applying force to the pedals towards the rear of the bike, in what may be thought of as the three-o-clock position of the cranks. The combination of these two motions gives the impression that the rider directly rises into the air.
