Video Transcript

"Bunnyhopping off onto an object is actually a little different than bunnyhopping over an object is kind of that it may seem. A lot of time the people find that if there bunnyhopping onto an object they can actually get onto objects that higher than the objects that they can bunnyhop over. There's a interesting reason for this and it's basically if your bunnyhopping onto something you get your front wheel up onto it and your back wheel actually sort of case it and roll it up on. A lot of the time you won't even feel it at the same time if your bunnyhopping onto an object you don't have that opportunity to go and get your bike down back under you. So you actually it's a lot easier when your landing to land with all your weight over the back wheel end sort of loose the bike out in front of you. So you want to make sure that your bunnyhopping onto an object that your making sure that your as you tucking out to get under the object that your not pushing the bike to far out from under you. Because you just don't have the opportunity to pull the bike back under you and make sure your not going to loop out on the object. Other than that pretty much all the same principles apply making sure to get your front end up high enough over the object you know it's very important and getting your good solid pop off your back wheel and landing with both wheels nice and even. Cause if your going up that high you don't generate all of downwards force and so you can actually get away with landing a little bit stiffer. Although you know as much as possible just practice good form I'll display that here on this little grind box. Stay relax hop onto it and just as you saw I made sure to maintain adequate speed I got a good pop onto it and I looked towards the end and looked right off no problems."
