Parking Lot - Wheel Lifts & Hopping Powered by

Front then Rear Wheel Lift

Utilize a flat or low downhill slope

COMPRESS, EXPLODE, then SCOOP

While rolling slowly, drop down by bending your legs and compressing your suspension, explode up allowing your arms to guide the bars up as the front wheel lifts off the ground. Immediately use the compression that naturally occurs as your front wheel lands to scoop the rear wheel up

2 Wheel Hop
Lifting both wheels off the ground at the same time

COMPRESS, EXPLODE

1. Get in the ready hinge position
2. Compress your bike by quickly dropping down into a low hinge
3. Explode up
4a. Row with your arms to lift the front wheel
4b. Scoop the rear foot to lift the rear wheel (look you got air!)

The difference between the 2 wheel hop and the bunny hop is the Row and Scoop (4a & 4b.) happen at the same time.

Bunny Hop
Combine the front then rear wheel lifts immediately after to hop into the air!

Progressions:
Hop over a line, 2x4, root, rock

Coaching Tips:

The higher you want/need to hop the heavier your feet must be when you compress, and harder you must row.
Think of your arms moving in a circular motion. Rowing from the bottom and pressing over the top
