This is nuts for so many reasons. Mad skills! Scary possibilities. Disturbing to some extent. Would it prefer 29" wheels or a mullet setup? 26 for life? 20??

This is the best argument ever made about how bunnyhopping a bike doesn't include a "scoop with your feet."
Yeah you just need to be clipped in
Edit: Geez, I thought it would be obvious that I'm talking about how the robot in the video is jumping.
Don't be silly. Clips are absolutely not necessary to bunny hop.
Preload -> push down with feet to move body upwards creating momentum at a velocity high enough to overcome gravity -> hold on to handlebars = bunnyhop.
Then level the bike out. Bunnyhop completed.
Bonus: roll wrists forward to level the bike and you'll be able to stay more centered over the bike rather than end up in the backseat which can happen if you only push with your arms to level the bike.
that thing is oddly scary!
(the robo bike too)
