    Damn 6 years of riding and I've never heard of loosening your cranks so your legs have less resistance while trying to adjust position in the air. It definitely sounds like it would make a difference. I'm gonna have to try that out.
    Also I remember the first day I felt like my hops were dialed enough to be able to hop up any curb in the city. I don't think I've ever been that stoked. Good times.

      @DeMarcusPaul 4 роки тому +3

      Crust Brigtop my reference to the cranks being loose is aimed more towards movement. Loose enough to spin freely, not loose enough to cause damage. If you tighten your cranks super tight it could also make it harder to manual. These are this that I’ve personally found to make some tricks easier or harder.

    • @crustbrigtop1374
      @crustbrigtop1374 4 роки тому +1

      @@DeMarcusPaul I disagree that tighter cranks make it harder to manual either. Who do you imagine has cranks so tight they can't pedal, as that seems to be what you are talking about? I'd get the point if you were talking about crank flips, but manuals and bunnyhops? What kind of pro are you?

    i tried to hop a shopping cart in 1987. i was going fast because shopping carts are wide. i clipped it with my back wheel. didn't crash but it scared me so bad i didn't try again.park benches were easy because the wide part is low. 46'' was my best measured hop. i also cleared 15 kids laying side by side on a sidewalk.if you want to race you'll be slow if you can't bunnyhop.

      @kudosbudo 4 роки тому

      @@ChiTownGuerrilla It really depends what you are trying to do. American bunny hop is great for getting height. But is harder to do at faster speeds. An english hop is safer at high speeds if your goign for distance. Indee combing the too styles you can hop quite far. A high american style bunny hop you pull up teh front wheel as high as possible and explode upwards with your hips. If your going for distance you want that power in your pedalling and pullign up hard at speed puts you off balance more making landing more dangeorus. A uk hop with a small pull give syou a nice compromise of height and high speed hopping in safety. I used to do an american hop over a tennis court fence from almost standing still where as when i hopped over volunteers I did a compromise of teh two whcih was more a uk hop (I could uk hop very very high!).

      I think landing on your back wheel happens naturally, no one taught me how to bunnyhop and landing correctly just happens on it's own. I feel like it's the same for everyone. If you land on your front wheel you know you're hopping wrong ,unless of course you're trying to land nose manual.
