Have the pedals and cranks horizontal - that is, parallel to the ground.
Hold onto the front of the seat (assuming you're hopping seat-in,
rather than seat-in-front) and hop.

It's a lot like hopping on a pogo stick.

Keep your cranks level, with either your right or left foot
forward(find which one is more comfortable, I keep my left foot
forward). Then put either your right or left hand on the the handle or
the front of the saddle. Then pull up.

It might help to stand by a wall to keep your balance and to adjust
your cranks. Jump to what ever side you start to lean toward and you
will keep your balance.

Hope this helps

No, a bunny hop is a type of bike jump/hop. It's where you compress,
pull up the front end and then pulling up the rear with your feet and
pushing the bike forward and up.
