its the finish when the stem isnt cut properly. i find inverting the stem, or pointing it twards your body so its -90mm or so from the fork makes you hop a lot higher

Good stuff but I disagree on one point. Personally I really like a 50mm stem and a 1" or 1.5" rise bar. I like a low, short, slack, tight rearend, mid-length tt, low bb, setup. IMO that combination makes a bike VERY forgiving, quick, and comfortable at the same time. That's a tough combo to achieve.
To make a long story short: Yes a shorter stem will make bunny-hopping easier but you still need a cockpit that is long enough to be comfortable.
i have a komodo and with a 110 mm stem/lower rise bar swapped to 60mm 0 rise stem and bars with 2inch rise- didnt seem to make a bit of difference in how high i could bunnyhop- but manualing comes much easier
I've seen cam zink and jeff lenosky bunny hop about 3 feet with 50ish mm stems and I've seen hans rey and ryan leech do the same with about 90-100mm stems.
length of stem doesnt matter too much. its all preference. trials guys with long stems can hop just as high as bmx'ers or street riders with 50mm stems or vice versa
