CORE SERIES 2010
Colony bmx website-
The Core Series final was on Sunday & was a good day for sure. A good turn out & the riding level was really high with a few first’s done at the park. Decade airs, flip whips, front flips, smith to whips were a few stand outs from the day. So good to watch. Our own Peta Shepherd did well enough to get 7th on the day & 5th overall for the year in expert. Well done Peta !! Alex Hiam also rode well yesterday & took out 3rd place in the pro class. Thanks to Ange for the pics.

How To -
Bunny Hop-
Start off standing next to your bike, roll back with your wrists and pull the bars towards yourself to get the front wheel up off of the ground, then push the bars up and away from your body. Congratulations, your bike just bunnyhopped, now all you need to do is add yourself to the mix.
When you are on the bike the trick will be to jump up from the pedals and use the “up and out” motion of your arms to help the bike follow your feet upwards. Timing is everything, so be prepared to practice a lot. Rolling forward slowly pull back on the bars as if you were going to manual. When your front wheel is a few inches off of the ground, go light on your feet and push the bars up and away. Your first hops will be really small, but don’t stress, learning the motion and timing is the hardest part, after that, its onward and upward.
When you get the hang of little hops, try lifting the front end of the bike higher and adding a little more “pop” to your feet, jumping up from the pedals and following through with your arms to get more height. As you work your way up inch-by-inch, try tucking your knees up to your chest to allow your bike to travel further upward before your body weight stops it. In the end, the amount of “spring” you put into your leap will decide how high you can hop, but don’t be fooled, the arm motion is what’s lifting the bike off of the ground, so expect some sore forearms in the months to come.
Good Luck!
