JerrySTL Posted October 15, 2017 Share #6 Posted October 15, 2017 I've bunny-hopped things like potholes, pavement cracks, and broken glass. That was exciting enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted October 15, 2017 Share #14 Posted October 15, 2017 Jumping and cornering are the fun parts of riding MTBs. I used to own a dirt bike. Jumping that thing was the absolute best. The suspension just sucks up all that force. I love the feeling of the preload and the pop when you go into a jump. If you get the timing wrong you don't get good air. Get it right and you get floaty, long lived airtime. Sometimes, I get air on accident and break fingers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadiejorge Posted October 15, 2017 Share #15 Posted October 15, 2017 Sure, and on skateboards too. I used to have a BMX bike and skateboards when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted October 15, 2017 Share #17 Posted October 15, 2017 Labor Day weekend- WoW and I went on a rail/trail ride with another couple. The girls needed a restroom at the turnaround town and there was a grocery nearby. As we headed back to the trail, I jumped the bike off a small concrete landing onto the trail. Probably only about 18” drop. I heard tires skid behind me and “$#!+! No way!” I stoped and waited for them to come around the proper way. Hadn’t done anything like that in a while. It was fun! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealot Posted October 15, 2017 Share #23 Posted October 15, 2017 Oh Lord, yes! Some scary air, but more often that not, controlled and exhilerating. Have had some pretty epic crashes because of said air, but to date, have walked away from every one. I feel very lucky. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted October 15, 2017 Share #25 Posted October 15, 2017 I grew up during the Evil Knievel years, so yes. We used cinder blocks and wood to make ramps. Did I tell y'all about the time my front wheel fell off in mid air? The fork dug over six inches into the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12string Posted October 16, 2017 Share #28 Posted October 16, 2017 Riding to work on day, an SUV made a right on red and didn't see the motorcycle till the last second. Didn't see the bike (me) until - I realized I was about to get hit so I did the bunny hop and hip check maneuver so I wouldn't get run over. Luckily, the shoulder was pretty wide and when she heard the thump she hit the brakes. Not really sure how high, only a couple feet I guess, I managed to land shiny side up so I just kept pedalling, looked to the left and exchanged head shakes with the biker. SUV pulled into the parking lot, probably for a change of undergarments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
