We already learned how to do bunny hops by pulling up the front wheel pushing forwards on the handlebars. If you do that in reverse, it’s called a nollie. Nollies aren’t particularly useful for jumping over things, but they look cool and they’re fun to do.
Start by learning how to pop your back wheel up by pushing forwards on your handlebars and pointing your toes down. Once you’re comfortable with this you can try pulling up on your bars to go into a nollie. Getting the bike to actually come up off the ground will take lots of practice and some experimentation, but once you learn how you can have a lot of fun. I’d recommend mastering this on flat surfaces before you go jumping off of things.
Once you’ve learned to nollie, you can use it to do nose bonks. Nose bonks are fun as shit and they add tons of style to your trail and street riding. During a typical bunny hop over a rock or a log, push your front wheel down on to the obstacle....almost like doing a nollie in mid air. With a little practice, you can actually give yourself a second boost upwards.
To start out, try learning on the corner of a curb, or even something small like a speed bump. This technique takes practice, so don’t get too frustrated if you don’t get it right away. Practice makes perfect.
Let us know in the comments some of the other things you can do to add style to your trail riding.
