Bmx Bunny Hop

How do you bunny hop bmx?
hi all
just begun bmxing, i really cant do a bunny hop, all my attempts are pathetic, i can get only really get my front tire up and i really fail any tips?
The biggest problem people make when trying to hop their bikes is using too much 'leg' and not enough arm in getting the bike up. The primary component of the hop is your wheelie. Basically, when done correctly your rear wheel ends up at the height you've brought your front wheel to so the higher you get your front wheel, the higher your back wheel will naturally want to go.
First, pull up and get your front wheel to the height you want to hop. Once you've reached the highest point with your front wheel, begin to pull up with your feet while push your handlebars forward with your arms. Practice....
If you want to get a good idea of what I mean, you can actually see the process without even being on your bike. Stand beside your bike and grip your bars as though you were riding it. Lift your front wheel and then push forward with your arms and watch your rear wheel as you do this, you'll see it naturally lifts up as you push the bike forward.

Tricks and tips - BMX Bunny hop
bmx bunny(jet) hop help?
help with jet hops(bunny hop where front wheel goes up first) im having trouble getting the front wheel up first/. even wen i try to just get the front wheel up like a wheelie it barely goes up. i pull up as hard as i can and lean back but it doesnt go back all the way. any advice?
Actually cleats will hinder your bunny hop. You need to tuck/suck the back end of the bike up into you to match the front wheel height and unless your seat is stupidly high you'll need to tilt/pivot your feet off the seat to "absorb the bike".
Lower your seat. Keep your bars vertical or just a few degress back from vertical to get good pull/lift.
I've bunnyhopped over upright garbage cans. Low seat and tuck/push on the bars at apex.
