The Bunny Hop on its own is not particularly useful in the sections, but the technique is a vital element in many other manoeuvres. When executed correctly, the body and the suspension work in perfect harmony. Get the timing wrong, and it wont work. There are 3 steps involved in the Bunny Hop. The first two are the same as the basic wheelie: Firstly, compress the suspension. Second, pull up into a basic wheelie. The third, and most critical stage determines the effectiveness of the Bunny Hop. While the front wheel is in the air, rotate the handlebars forward, while at the same time pulling straight upwards. As you do this, your hips will almost hit the bars. The rotate and lift motion will pivot the machine around the engine. The height of the Bunny Hop is determined by the height of the initial wheelie. Once mastered, the Bunny Hop technique can be used for flip turns, for conquering steps, and for a variety of advanced techniques..
