Is it normal that my wrists hurt after a couple bunnyhops. Or am I doing the trick wrong?

yes it's normal for your wrists to hurt. yes your doing the trick correctly but your taking all of the impact in your wrists. how to avoid this, try just using your legs to take the impact of landing and relax your wrists a bit and it should fix the prob. hope this helped you bro and remember to send it!

try taking off about 5 psi on each tire or more comfortable grips/gloves

Thank you very much for the tip. It really helped also with landing with my back wheel first.

Yank your bars up hard and fast... thats not supposed to sound wrong, anyways after that push the bars forward

Yes your wrists with hurt a bit try bending your elbows to absorb the shock of the landing

, when landing lean back a little so that you absorb the impact with you legs and not your wrists.

Your not doing it wrong you just need to bend your arms a little when you land

It's not that your doing it wrong, it may be more on the side that your landing to rough. Relax a bit and land soft. Don't pound the bike through the concrete. Relaxing will make you a way better rider. Don't get so angry when something doesn't go right either!

No its not normal, that means you land with too much pressure on them. Either you are too far forward when you hop or your tires are inflated at like 150psi. I believe it has to do with your position, try to lean a bit further back when you land.

once you land the trick your wrists take the pressure of when your tires hit the ground
Yes
My grips are really old and flattened if yours are like that I suggest some ODI grips
If you can try to land back tire first, that may help
Don't try to take out dorm air out of your tires because you might take a risk of bending your rim or you might pop a tube.
I use diamondback grips so i would suggest those
Try and ride with your wrist under the bars sounds weird but will help
Yes it's very normal
Normal don't worry
The first few times it did to me but try bend knees and put more weight on back end
What you can do is changing to softer grips or just try to keep the ompact away from your wrists but you will adapt to it rather quick Good luck when practising🤘🏻
make sure your arm and wrist are parallel to the ground and bend your elbow to absorb the impact so that you can survive.
Normal
This probably means you are leaning forward and putting all pressure on your wrists. Make sure your weight is centered over the cranks
If you do to many in like a kid bike the handlebar will break
You doing something wrong
