Ok ill just start right off in order to become good at bmxing you must first learn the bunny hop AKA the jet hop.
BUNNYHOP
The first thing in the bunnyhop is the pull up, when you pull the bike up you should not lean all the way back you should almost be standing on the pedals like this girl.
alright once you get there heres the easy part, what you do is point your toes kind of towards the ground so you are gripping your pedals and you basically jump.
Now that you got there now push your handle bars forward and level out the bike so you land flat unless you are going to bunny hop to manual.
Bunny hopping to manual is a lot harder because when you are in the air from bunny hopping you don’t level out enough to land flat and you balance like normal manualing.
MANUAL
The manual is considered one of the hardest tricks to actually learn because most people cant get to balancing part down. The balancing part is hard to get used to.
When you manual position you kind of shift your weight back and forth like you are humping the air, for example if you are going too far down you hump forward and it brings your bike back up.
Manualing is very hard at first so dont get discouraged if you dont get.
180
The 180 took me about 5 weeks to learn so it can get pretty hard if you dont do it properly. when you 180 you have to either bunny hop high and do it quick or you can pull up the front of you bike higher and you can do it a little bit slower.
When you 180 you have to bunny hop and twist your bike 180 while looking over your shoulder looking where to land(and i find it is a little bit easier to perform the trick)
when you have done then 180 all you have to is the rollaback/ fakie. and you are done
Jul 22, 2007 7:32 pm - That first picture is NOT how to do them, your spose have your knees bent and you lean back. Basicaly to bunnyhop, your jus lifting the front with your arms and the back with your legs. This is a bullshit egg, and i bet your actually shit at riding. 0*
Jul 22, 2007 8:32 pm - wow thats bulls$%*@ Ive talked to people who have been riding for 20 years they have all said thats the way you are supposed to do it and ive bet they have placed 1st in way more competitions than you.
Jul 22, 2007 8:34 pm - and if your going to be judging by the first picthan you fail at life becuase there was no other egg on this site about this so i thought id make one TRYING to atleast help some people out.
Jul 23, 2007 2:04 am - Actually there are eggs on BMX, i posted one myself not too long ago actually on how to tailwhip bitch.
and kirko posted one on turndowns/lookbacks.
i recentley bort an onza tee vee, (trials bike) and i really wana learn how to hop on the back wheel
iv practiced and practiced for ages but i just cant do it!!
what i try to do is pedel forward, pull the front brake as to do an endo, then pull back and apply the back break
this puts me onto my back wheel but i cant seem to keep my balence for long and i cant hop ether, please could u help as u seem to know a fare bit a bout bikes
Jul 24, 2007 8:34 am - alright everybody thats saying i c/p all of the words are self written and the ideas are based on what i can do and my ideas. the picture ARE c/p but under the permission of the bmxbasis website. jst wanted to clear that up.
if you are going to rate low becuase you dont like bmx and like skating than just think somebody rating your egg lower becuase they dont like skating.
Aug 01, 2007 4:52 pm - I don’t remember what the fuck I voted.
But this tutorial isn’t too good. I’ve been BMXing for about 4 years now. Started when I was 12.
The first part where she starts to lift the front up isn’t too right, you shouldn’t keep your legs straight for any period of time whilst bunnyhopping.
tbh, there isn’t even any point wheely’ing into the bunnyhop.. just do it from flat you get further and higher.
Atleast make a video of it.. not ripped / c/p either.
Make your time in taking the pictures too.
Aug 01, 2007 5:03 pm - actually i got that wrong, i see what the website you are copying from is aiming at.
i thought you were doing a random hop.
orite then tap the last two comments but the legs bit are wrong, you shouldn’t straighten up and whats the point of the pre-pull and then land and then pull again and hop wtf.
Aug 04, 2007 3:10 pm - alright i see what you are saying, i didnt see anyhting really covering this in detail in the bmx section so i thought id put something up on here.
