I need help. I'm pretty much a dummy. I've been mountain biking for about 15 years here in Vancouver and know a bit about biking. I can manual on any of my bikes, be it my Stinky D-L, my .243, and especially my old P.3. I can't even get my front wheel off the ground more than 2-3 inches on my new trials bike. It's the brand new Zoo! Pitbull. I measured the dimensions and it's not too far off the .243. As you would expect doing a 'western' style bunny hop off the back tire is literally impossible for me. I can get at least a good 2-2-1/2 feet off even my D-L. What gives? It seems that my front tire is stuck to the ground with elastic bands or something. The only difference I think is the long travel forks on my other bikes. Please could anybody give me any insight before my hamstrings fall off? Thank you all very much!
