As per title.
I've been in the carpark today trying to self-teach bunnyhops based on what I was taught in a skills session.
I was taught to do a manual by pushing up and out with the bars and throwing weight back, and pumping with the feet to get the front wheel up.
To turn this into a bunnyhop I was told to then throw weight forward over the bars and scoop the back end up.
Looking at a few online technique vids, they suggest bringing the front end up just by pulling up on the bars, not a manual.
Is either technique better than the other?
Also, as I'm on my own, how can I tell whether I did actually leave the ground and by how far? It's hard to tell. I'm using a kerb which is about 3 inches high and about a foot wide and I'm not feeling it bump across it but there is some chain clatter but whether that's from landing or the back wheel hitting the kerb, I can't tell.
