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.

—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“I cannot think that espionage can be recommended as a technique for building an impressive civilisation. It’s a lout’s game.”
