Title: Bunny hop stands
Post by: paulb113 on July 25, 2013, 07:09 PM: I want to make some bunny hop stands like I had BITD, do people do them in cm and not inches nowadays? :daumenhoch:

Thanks

Don't think I will be able to do anywhere near what I used to :'(

I don't know how we used to get the old school bikes off the ground with the weight of them

Yep, that was my signature trick and pulling a 360. Struggling to do either nowerdays but did get the 360 a few times at the Boardroom. No chance bunnyhopping a bike though. ...... ;-(

I made it from an Ikea Ivar side unit. It needs to be replaced this year as it has always lived outside. Plastic conduit from Wickes or B&Q is quite tough and lasts awhile. :daumenhoch:
