Bunny hops are a type of cycling maneuver where the rider lifts both the front and rear wheels off the ground simultaneously. This technique is commonly used in mountain biking and BMX riding to navigate obstacles, such as rocks or logs, without losing momentum. It requires good balance and timing to execute properly. To perform a bunny hop, the rider compresses the bike's suspension by bending their knees and elbows, then quickly extends their body while pulling up on the handlebars. This motion allows the bike to become airborne. Mastering bunny hops can enhance a rider's skills and confidence on challenging trails or during tricks.
