i just saw a video of what looks like he does a bunny hop on a gixxer looks like he clutchs it and then slams the brake any one got a video of that?

heres a better one http://youtube.com/watch?v=GNb-a9Dfri8

 

that wasnt it but that was pretty bad *** it was some thing in new york for the ruff ryders but that was fuc#in bad *** haha

 

OMFG!!!! who's that on the Kawi?

 

the guy on the ground is one ballsy or stupid faacker

 

now how the **** is he doing that???? is he preloading the suspension (like on a dirtbike just before you jump) clutchin it then hitting the brake?

 

actually it looks like hes clutchin it then as soon as it comes up he shuts the throttle

 

no idea, just found it on youtube... but it is badass... someone needs to practice this and post a how to sticky lol... :YEAH

 

Last time I use to hop my mountain bike kinda like bunny hop. i use the pedal and kinda like jerk/scoop up the pedal with my feet. lift both of the wheel few inches of the ground. If i cycle fast enough I am able to jump over a distance of 3 to 5 feet.

 

yeah, havent tried it yet, but I dont think the jerk/scoop method is gonna work on a bike lol

 

clutch it up, slam on the back brake, and hold on.

ive never tried it but i think i will next time i roll it.

itd be dope if i could bunny hop over a curb or someshit.

 

i think it's preload the rear suspension (while initiating a wheelie)... and then drop the clutch harder than normal.... but Im just guessing...

Look at this drag racing pic... I found it years ago on the net ..and saved it cause of the Physics of whats happening....I've seen this happen on a bike at the dragstrip once too (in a photo)

also ...I think I've seen Teach (in a vid) do this

alright ...I just watched it.... be careful.... I honestly dont think there is any Brake involved.(let alone slamming the brake..hehe)...It would suck hearing that someone faceplanted trying this ...LOL

 

Dan Jackson done some wheelie hop few weeks back.

 

yeah my MB weights a gram and superbike weights a ton.

 

It looked like the tire touched the dude on the ground a lil bit.

He is a crazy sob in my opinion laying on the ground like that...

...who was that rider? It seems like I saw a pic of someone doing this same thing not too long ago...it was a shot from the front right before the hop.

 

LOL

u prolly know a shitload more about bikez than i do, i know that for a fact...especially after reading that fork mod thread u wrote.

but im 99.999999% sure that the back brake is needed to do a bunny hop.

 

it was the chin ur clip

 

thats eric whitcomb...


i don't use the brake ...i clutch it quick and give it a good amout of gas then throw the bars forward....although i can only get 10 inches at most...


check this pic out.. FRASER FLAVE

 

yup, just clutch it up hard right when the front wheel comes up slam the brake and jerk forward.. Its not to hard really, but im not good enough to jump over people

Try it off speed bumps, thats always fun... If you hit one just right you can get 1-3 foot of air haha
