You do NOT want to pedal up into a hop, that's a band aid for poor technique. Hops are a strength trick, and unless you start doing them, alot, you aren't going to get them. To hop:
Lean back and pull the bars up, then pull the back of the bike up with your feet, pointing your toes down helps to dig your shoes into the pegs and grip the pedals.
[/quote] dudes right im 24 and ive been riding my whole life pretty much and i agree hops are a strength trick even though there is some technique to it every day that I ride I bunny hop a little higher than the last day, it just takes practice and commitment, but how i do it is bend your knees to a comfortable positionat the same time pull up your handlebars to a comfortable position as well then your head should be slightly Above your handlebars, then pull your feet up while bending your knees and pushing your handlebars away from you , your ass should be out past your seat just a little bit and spot your landing. i do lots of push ups at nite to strengthen my upper body a little bit but like  i said its strength and technique, oh and practice :|
