Step 1
Approach the obstacle at a moderate speed. You'll need some momentum to clear the obstacle, but you've also got to have control over the bike during take-off. Speeds around 5 mph work well for beginners.
-
Step 2
Lift your front wheel off of the ground as you approach the obstacle. This is different from the bunny hop, during which you lift both wheels at once.
-
Step 3
Continue to raise your tire until it's high enough to clear the obstacle.
-
Step 4
Raise your body and pull the back tire off the ground.
-
Step 5
Push the handlebars down a bit to level your tires out when you're over the obstacle. This is important because it prevents your back tire from hitting the object and causing a crash.
-
Step 6
Land with both wheels touching down at the same time. Avoid landing on your front tire, which can throw you into an endo and cause you to wreck.
