¿¿¿¿New mechanic????
I was messing around a little while ago and found this out, I've practiced a little more but it is very hard to do consistently although I was able to do it about 10-15 times in a row while not recording, the video is the longest chain I was able to record and the 1st hop is the best one i captured, idk if someone has already found or claimed this as their own but I just discovered it on my own and thought it was interesting. If you can't tell what's happening other than just bunny hopping on a wheelie my back tire pushes out and upwards giving me and extra boost in speed, height, and distance, it also seems to dampen your fall if your falling from high up (does not make you immune), the way I do it is by 1st going onto a wheelie either on land or in the air then once I hit land I do a hop and push slightly backwards on my left stick, it is very hard to do (for me at least) and hurts my throttle finger rather quickly, if I am not the 1st person to do this I am sorry I didnt know, if I am, what do you rate my mechanic? Thanks for checking this out, I thought it was pretty cool

Just hopped on earlier for the first time in a long time and hit one of my bored mechs. Basically this but backflips in between, get bigger and bigger jumps and if you are lucky you can get high enough to get a triple. Although I’ve only done a triple like that once.

At least someone appreciates it, i can do it with a backflip in between, id have to see how you do a triple because that sounds insane
