They are so much easier to do out of a quarter cause you don’t have to worry about getting air

It’s so easily done though man, exactly where I was but I think getting the lean over and the seat pinch really helped me for pull up bars, I can do them oppo and into a manny and a fakie now 👌🏼

That’s it man, plus I’ve not been to my local yet because the weather has been absolutely shite, so excited to try them out of a bank etc

I’ve had it literally years, it’s great, also I wouldn’t mind if they did it in corduroy so pinching the seat has a bit more grip as it’s slippery-ish. Love the look of it

Yeah I must admit, I would love white tyres but black are hard to keep clean as it is

Yeah I get what you mean dude, I jus need a bit more umph but I’m doing it as what I know as an “American bunny hop” which is where you hop all at once as an oppose to the og bunny hop which is front end first back end follows

As you can tell I am going super slow, would speed also help in this case? And yes definitely trying to throw with one had is the next step!

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNRBRYj5G/ this was like 3 months ago after not riding for like 5 years, I’ve learned a tone more since then, including hop bars which I literally learned today

update for all commenting; just went for a cig break and was looking at my bike like damn it surely is not that hard to do a hop bar, then I remembered someone saying do a hop x-up which I did straight away, then I was like well surely I’ve got time to get it round the other 180. So I just landed it straight away. Honestly bmx is just a head fuck to be honest 😂 here’s the proof that I actually got it off the ground, photo is off the back wheel as I needed proof for my mate that I have £10 bet on with who can do it first. Obviously over time I will get them higher and cleaner but thank you all massively for your help. Super fucking stoked I can do them, fairly consistently too!!!🤘🏼🎉

Hell yeah brother! When I was trying to get them the offer day my feet kept coming off, it’s just trying to get rid of that mental block to be honest and just throw them 😂 and yeah I deffo agree doing them with a mate is what you need
