I cannot get my back tire up

To pop up the back tire you use your feet on the peddles and lean forward and lift the back of the bike with you feet practice doing that by its self then add it to your bunny hop

for me it was hard learning but it takes a while. what you do is when you're riding make sure your cranks/ pedals are aligned whether you are left foot foward or right foot foward create a scooping motion away from the handles and keep trying

I had the same problem, I had the most troubles on the bunny hop, pull your handlebars back and then when your front tire is off the ground, push your front handlebars forward and out, and aim your feet a little facing down, that should help you, just keep practicing the motion to get higher

After you get the front wheel in the air do a little hop and try to crouch to bring the saddle up like your about to sit on it
Saddle--seat(same thing)
Once your front tire is up to your normal height or ability then angle your peddles and feet downward and keep pressure on there then do a scooping motion with your feet then try to push the bars forward and tuck your back end into your "butt area" or anywhere else like to the side to get more height with it as well.
Lift with your arms and then follow the back end by tucking your legs
Lift your feet in the same speed as the bike flies in the air.
You need to get the feel of the bike's geometry after just try a hop
A hop is when you jump with the wheels at the same time .
If this isn't working try leaning tor center of gravity on the front wheeal and with your legs griping the cranks and lifting the rear wheel . Carefull not to fall and smash your face 😃.
You should try making somewhat of a scoopi g motion with your feet
Once your front tire is in the air nice and high, pull up on the bars with a twisting motion going forward but focus on curling your toes over the front of the pedal and pretend you wiping dog poo off.
Scoop the pedals and lift and lean forward
Try pointing your toes down with the pedels. This will help you scoop up your back tire
When you pull back point toes down and push forward
I had the same thing when teaching my nephew. He would keep doing a hop instead of a bunny hop. So I had him ride and just lift the back tire off the ground, till he was at a comfortable height. Then I had him just lift the front tire till he was comfortable. Once he had both, we linked them together. Pull up on bars then pull up on rear and u have a bunny hop.
Pull bike back far then point toes down and push bike forward
Practice turning your feet almost parallel to the ground then push your bars forward until you can lift your back end up then put them both together
When you started pulling your front wheel up, jump as powerfull as you can
The higher you jump the higher the bike will hop
So another thing
Point your toes down when your about to jump
Point down and while your pointing down, push back while pointing your toes down and then peak your feet up
And when you about to get your bike of the ground push your handle bars forward that will level your bike
And land
Do lots of push ups and tried to get stronger so you can use your arms to lift the bike better this really helps me because Im weak and can't lift the handle bars very high
You gotta lunge forward, when you pull that front tire up then launch forward😎
Pull up with your feet on the pedals
Act like your jumping bring up the handle bars to your waist then pull up your back side almost by kicking backward it is easiest to do it over or onto something hope this helped
You need to pull very strong and put your body in the front
Point your toes and tuck your knees right at the start of pushing your bars forward
I practiced my back tire first for a long time and to assist me I change my front tire to a heavier one
Point your toes down with the pedals and put your head lined up to your front tire then pull up with your feet and arm
Try on flat ground to pull your bars to your waist. Then after you got that dialled, just add a jump to it.
Try bending both petals inward to make it easier to get your back up when you jump
Try thinking about scooping not lifting
Try to twist the bar and point your toes downward
scoop and push down bars
