If The Bike Has Full Or Frontsuspension, Pre-load The Shocks By Pressing Downon The Bike Just Before You Reach The Obstacle.Once The Shocks Have Been Pre-loaded, The Riderwill Spring Upwards, Pulling Up With The Hands Andfeet At The Same Time. Toe Straps Or Clipless Pedals Help With This, Although If Plain Platformpedals Are Used, It's Still Possible. As The Bikerlifts, The Hands Will Roll Through Twisting The Throttle. After The Object Is Cleared, Push Downon The Bike Then Absorb The Impact With The Armsand The Legs.It's Often Times A Misconception That A Bunny Hopwithout Toe Clips Is Achieved By Rotating Forwardon The Handlebars.
