Learn to control which wheel lands first. Extend your arms forward and upwards, thus pulling the handlebars from under you. Meanwhile, jump up slightly and bring your legs up to your frame. The bike will level out in the air. Land on both wheels simultaneously. The technique for bunny hopping a 29er, as stated before, is the same as for a 26er. However, getting a 29er wheel up is much harder than on a 26er. It has to do with wheel weight, wheel size and the natural position on the bike.
For starters, try preloading the shock if you have one as you approach the obstacle. Lower your body down and compress your knees. Pull up on the handle bars at the same time as you jump, but keep your toes pointed down. The reason your toes are pointed down with the pedals on the balls of your feet, is so your feet can pull up on the pedals.
If you are a road or cyclocross cyclist looking to bunny hop, and you have access to a mountain bike or hardtail, start there. Learning how it feels to load a bike with suspension will help you master this move on a stiffer road bike.

Posted: Mar 1, at So on my bmx bike thats a little big for me but not too big I can easily bunny hop about a foot. I got an enduro bike a while back and have been trying but for the life of me can't bunny hop more than a few inches. I can barely get the front up into a manuel.
When I hit jumps I can bunny hop and I can do drops I just cant bunny hop flat. Could It be my bikes to big as im a little over 5 foot while my bike is pretty big with a reach of and a wheel base of ? Or is it just better skills? Posted: Mar 2, at Approach the obstacle at about 10 mph or at cruising speed, so you have enough momentum to complete the move. About three feet away from the obstacle, stand up out of the saddle with your pedals level horizontally.
Keep your elbows and knees loose and bend at the hips often called a ready position in mountain biking , so you are positioned over the saddle but not behind it. It may seem intuitive to simply hop off the ground with both wheels at once—and that can work if you have enough speed—but learning to lift the front wheel first will allow you to clear larger obstacles easier and more safely as you continue to progress.
Your goal is to arc over the object smoothly. To do so, crouch into the bike by shifting your weight forward into your handlebars and pedals to load the suspension. Once loaded, pull the front wheel up and off the ground with your arms while pushing your feet into the pedals. As the front wheel comes up, lean your weight forward and, once you see the front wheel clear the obstacle, push the handlebar forward away and down as you simultaneously suck your legs up toward your body to bring the bottom bracket and rear wheel up and over the obstacle.
Tip: Remember to stay off the brakes as you come down the other side, unless you want to endo go end over end over your handlebars spectacularly. For this skill, brakes are the enemy, and momentum is your friend. If you are a road or cyclocross cyclist looking to bunny hop, and you have access to a mountain bike or hardtail, start there.
Learning how it feels to load a bike with suspension will help you master this move on a stiffer road bike. Once you advance, you can work on clearing larger and larger obstacles or practicing variations of the move, like a nose bonk, where you tap the obstacle with your front wheel intentionally.
