Lifting both wheels off the ground to clear obstacles.

Step-by-step instructions

Approach. Ride at a comfortable speed toward the obstacle.
Lift front wheel. Pull up on the handlebars and shift your weight back to lift the front wheel.
Explode up. As the front wheel rises, push forward and jump, pulling the back wheel up with your feet and legs.
Land. Level the bike and land both wheels at once, or front then back.

Start with small hops. The motion is pull up, then push forward and tuck. Use your arms and legs together.

A bunny hop gets both wheels off the ground; a wheelie is balancing on the back wheel while rolling.
